Chao Phraya

Chao Phraya
After asking the concierge & several co confusion, we decided to take a taxi & go direct to the pier @ Shang-Ri La.. There after bargaining we managed to get a private long tail boat for THB 1500 from THB50/person..
The ride was for an hour from Oriental pier til Rama bridge pier..
Along the ride you will be able to see temples, places of worship, kids swimming in the river interesting ride it was & rather bumpy :p
We were given 15mins stop to explore The Dawn Temple.. It was very beautiful & you can see the ceramic work still stuck on the temple. Walked all the way to the top reminded me of Borobudur. The steps were really steep only me & Mita went.. Coming down our legs were shaking :D
Half the day gone, empty stomach all grumbling took the tuktuk crazy experience fitting 4 ppl in one tiny motorcycle, but do not underestimate its capacity as we all somehow managed to squeeze in :) and the driver brougt us to a seafood restaurant nearby which I think he normally brings his customers to.
The food was ok, had Tom Yam soup but of coz, fish steamed, spicy squid & mixed vege. Burp !! Now deciding where to go ..
