This is such a wide boat
There are no people
I think it's really nice that the city is along the river
It's kind of special
There is a really tall tower
on every surface of the tower
there are different sculptures carved on it

(Bangkok, Thailand) Hello, how far have you been in Bangkok?
In the middle of Bangkok's downtown
there is a river called Chao Phraya
I think the boats are well-maintained as a means of transportation
that allows you to freely travel across the river
So I thought of trying it
and explaining what kind of place Bangkok is
Yes, we are now at
the Peninsula Hotel
And many luxury hotels here
have their own boats
So we're going to
designated place
Looking at the timetable here at the hotel
every 30 minutes
to big stations
Iconsiam
and also to the BTS station
This is the boat we are taking
The good thing about taking this hotel boat is
we've already ridden it once
There are no people
Even though it only departs every 30 minutes
there's no people at all
(Boarding)
(Can board up to 30 people)
This is such a wide boat
I think it's really nice that the city is along the river
- In that way - Right
It's kind of special
Now, the destination
is right next door
Iconsiam
this big shopping mall
(Arrived in 5 minutes)
Iconsiam is actually one of
the bigger stations
It's a place where many tourists board
I think you must visit this shopping mall
- There's really a lot to see - Yeah
We need to take this orange flag
Uh... this is where we are
Here
(Ticket purchase)
There is a cheaper orange boat
that makes more stops
but I don't know why it's not here
Even though it's not a holiday, there are so many people
(Preparing to board)
I looked it up briefly, the orange flagship is
usually used by local Thai Bangkok residents
It's a boat used by local people
Ah!!
And this is a boat that tourists use
That's why it's more expensive
(1,678 KRW) So this is 40 baht
(671 KRW) The orange one is 16 baht
It's cheaper
But as we saw earlier
whether it's a QR code or a credit card
- they don't seem to work well - Yeah
- It's a bit inconvenient that you can only pay with cash - Only cash
(A grand view of Bangkok)
We're going under the bridge
What I learned from the taxi driver is
this bridge is a very old one
There's a section that opens in the middle
The good thing about taking a boat is
it's cheap
and it mainly goes through
- major tourist spots - Right
And as we just saw
it's well explained on the map
Like this
it shows what you can see at each point
where it goes,
the tourist spots it goes to
are marked like this
This could be considered as an advantage of traveling in Bangkok
These frequently visited tourist areas
are connected in a line along the river
That's right
So if you take this boat,
you can access it very conveniently
And actually, if you pay just 150 baht,
you can ride it unlimitedly for a whole day
(Pre-arrival announcement)
Here is Wat Arun, where we have been to
It's actually a very large temple
This is actually a representative
Buddhist temple in Bangkok, Thailand
and it was built in the early 19th century
They say it's so beautiful when you come at dawn
so there are lot of people in the morning
This is the big kingdom in Bangkok
We explained it in another video of ours
This seems to be the fanciest place in Bangkok
- You really should watch that video - Yes
Actually, there are so many cars in Bangkok downtown
so the traffic is really heavy
So when you move from one place to another,
the roads were always jammed
It's so nice taking the boat where there's no traffic
It feels like an easy ride around the city
I'm personally very satisfied
How far have you been in Bangkok so far?
Bye-bye
