Boat bus on the Chao Phraya River

One of our favourite activities was taking the boat bus with very convenient stops along the Chao Phraya River. They were busy at all times of day, some of the drivers enjoying thrilling the passengers with their sailing skills, and the 'conductors' bossing everyone around!

Standing room only!
A smaller longtail boat, with its noisy 'food mixer' propeller
Housing built on stilts all along the banks of the river...

...and a view of the Grand Palace.
In a park nearby our guesthouse a meeting of minds!
The beautiful smell of frangipani flowers is all over Thailand... 
...and is often used in offerings.
