After our tour of Wat Pho, we headed for the river for a cruise up the Chao Praya River. The river taxis are long boats with an extremely long shaft to the propeller. They really have a lot of maneuverability with the boats and they cruise around some pretty tight corners. I’m amazed at how much traffic there is on the river – big taxis, small ones, shuttle boats, barges, cruise ships (usually dining) and some I have no idea what they were for. They did a constant dance, weaving in and out in a never, ending song. The trip took us past the King’s Palace, many golden temples (and they are golden) and small hovels clinging to the banks.
