Exploring the Soul of Bangkok by Water

#bangkok If you want to see the real heart of Bangkok, get on the river. A boat ride along the Chao Phraya River is more than just a scenic tour — it’s a journey through time. As you glide past glittering temples, bustling piers, and peaceful local neighborhoods, you realize Bangkok isn’t just a city of skyscrapers — it’s a city of contrast, culture, and flow. I stopped at landmarks like Wat Arun, Grand Palace, and Pak Khlong Talad (the flower market), but what I loved most were the in-between moments: monks on morning ferries, kids waving from wooden homes, the golden glow of sunset hitting the water. Whether you’re on a tourist boat, a long-tail ride, or just hopping local ferries — Bangkok by river feels quieter, deeper, and somehow more alive.#travel #uptomejourney
