The fleet of canal boats and river taxis on the Chao Phraya River is one of Bangkok's great transport experiences. The Chao Phraya Express Boat runs up and down the river, stopping at piers from Nonthaburi in the north to Sathorn in the south. Fares are just a few baht. The Khlong Saen Saep canal boat runs east-west from near the Democracy Monument to Ramkhamhaeng, taking 25 minutes where a bus might take an hour. Board quickly -- they do not wait long.
