Head to the river before sunset for a boat ride along the Chao Phraya. There will be tourists, but the views are fantastic.

Most people buy tickets at the ticket booths, which can have long lines. A quicker option is to go directly to the boat boarding point, tell the staff which boat you want, and they sell tickets on the spot.

You’ll see the city glow as the sun sets and the reflections shimmer on the water. The breeze makes it even more pleasant and gives a fresh perspective on Bangkok.

Short, scenic, and worth the stop if you’re nearby.
