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.

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.

It's easy to book and piers are clean. But for those who are driving specifically on Phra Arthit pier, be careful with parking spots because we were given a ticket for parking across the pier which is weird because everybody else got their spot and we are among the chosen to get a violation
