Rapid River Boats in Bangkok: Your Everyday No Escape Route
River Boats and Ferries in Bangkok, Thailand
Venice, Italy continuously generates a lot of inspiration and ideas for other cities to
follow, when it comes to boat rides and water transportation. River boats, ferries,
and all other things seem to be romanticized and luxuriated, because of how
Venice has depicted it to be. In Asia, some of you may probably notice that you
can almost find these kinds of transportation everywhere, most notably in
South East Asia. However, it seems to fall under a different kind of
romanticism. It’s very “everyday”, and people riding these things don’t seem to
be inspired, but perspired! Nope, this is not the touristy kind of river boats; yep, this is the type you would want your local friend to let you try it out.
Take Thailand as an
example. The local Thai lady who invited me to ride that boat was eager for me
to experience the real romantic side of these river boats. And by romantic, I
mean, the everyday awesome adventure that is known as the Bangkok rivers. I’ve
tried this a couple of times back then, even the one in HCMC, as well as in
Singapore, but there’s something quite distinct about the ones in Thailand that
will make you want to not escape. Will you
fancy the every day living like a local commute style in Bangkok? You should
try it out for yourself at least once!
