Express Boat Service

Ebook version

To connect Bangkok with the neighbouring province of Nonthaburi, the express boat service, with fares depending on the colour of the flag on the boat, is provided from the terminal pier near Krung Thep (Bangkok) Bridge. It stops at various piers on both sides of the Chao Phraya River to collect many Bangkokians who take the boat for commuting to and from their places of work.

Major sights to be seen from the river include the Temple of Dawn, the Grand Palace and Thammasat University. The piers for these sights are Tha Chang and Tha Phra Chan. This bustlefree river journey is a welcome difference from the traffic-ridden fumes of the capital, and offer a different and refreshing view of the capital with a fresh river breeze. The express boat service operates daily from 6.00 a.m. to 8.00 p.m.
