The history of the Chao Phraya River and the city of Bangkok<\/a> are deeply connected.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The city was founded precisely because of the conditions that this river provided to the founding inhabitants of the city. <\/span>After the fall of the old capital, Ayutthaya, the king decided to found, where Bangkok stands today, the new capital of Thailand<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

For a boat tour or to cross the river you can catch a boat from the Chao Phraya boat company, which operates daily between 6am and 7.30pm.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can also opt for tourist offers, with tours starting from 9 ports, for 150 bath, between 9.30 and 15h. <\/span>It is a good option if you want more comfort and accompany the views with a Chang beer. <\/span>These boats depart every 30 minutes, unlike the previous ones departing every quarter hour.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, if you are looking for something more personalized, hire a long tail boat for a river cruise with the possibility of including a meal.<\/span><\/p>\n

Either way do not forget to take a boat trip, which will give you a unique perspective of the city.<\/span><\/p>\n
