Bangkok is also known as the Venice of the East because of its many canals. What better way to explore than by boat along the Chao Phraya River? Along the way you’ll see towering hotels, historic temples, and local lodgings. Many people in Thailand live along the river and the river supplies their livelihood. Our number one pick is the Suppaniga Cruise with cocktails at sunset. However, you can also grab a hop-on-hop-off tourist boat. Visit the website for the timetable and locations to hop on or off.
