Hop-On-Hop-Off Chao Phraya Tourist Boat

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 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.

Great way to see the sights of Bangkok and avoid all the traffic. Loads of very helpful staff at every stop to tell you which boat to get on and off.

It was good experience to cruise the river. However, we were not happy with the service because we were told to get off the boat at one end & have to wait for 20 minutes before we can get back on board. At the opposite end again we were told to get off & switch boat but this time we didn't have to wait. Other than that the cruise was good.
