I was unable to go because I had food poisoning. I realize there are no cancellations or reschedules however it would be wonderful to have this trip rescheduled in someway. I've tried reaching out but have not gotten a reply yet. My email is icmarconis@yahoo.com. #30350145 A little more flexibility with somebody that has gotten ill would be great.

It was a great decision to choose the Hop-On-Hop-Off service, as it allowed me to visit most of the historical places in Bangkok. I would say it’s one of the best options for exploring Bangkok in terms of views, value for money, and time efficiency.

Was an easy and affordable way to see many of the sites around the river. One complaint was that at the northern end of the line we were expecting to just stay on the boat and head back south; I.e. a circle tour. Nope. Everyone was pushed off the boat and required to wait in line, again, to reboard another boat approximately 20 minutes later. -1 star for that.

The Chao Phraya Tourist Boat is highly recommended, affordable, and convenient for seeing Bangkok's riverside attractions without getting stuck in traffic.

It's a fantastic way to see the best of Bangkok without the worst traffic in the world. You see many of the major landmarks in the land like Shangri-la hotel, China town, river city, flower market, Icomasia, Asiatics, Wat Arun and the grand palace. Never mind the rude service by the station operators. Just make sure you are in the right direction you want to go to. (Asiatics is south) Sign post is poor. Do ask. Considering the cost of the ticket, it's unbeatable value.
