Bangkok Chao Phraya River Express Boat

To connect Bangkok with the neighbouring province of Nonthaburi, the express boat service is provided from the the terminal pier near Krung Thep (Bangkok) Bridge. It stops at various piers along and on both sides of the Chao Phraya river to collect many Bangkokian who take the boat for commuting to and their places of work.

The fares ranging from 6 Baht to 15 Baht depending on the colour of the flag on the boat:

  • NONTHABURI-RAJBURANA
    yellow flag: fixed fare at 15 Baht, stop only at main piers
  • NONTHABURI-SATHORN
    red / orange flag: fixed fare at 10 Baht, stop at most piers
  • NONTHABURI-WAT RAJSINGKORN
    no flag: fare ranging from 6 Baht to 15 Baht, stop at every pier

A bustle-free river journey, a welcome difference from the traffic-ridden fumes of the capital, offers, with minimal fares, a different and refreshing view of the capital with the fresh river breeze. The express boat service operates daily from 6am to 8pm.
