:: How to get there

By Boat By car

Traveling by boat is quite popular in the riverside cities or towns including Bangkok, Nonthaburi, Ayutthaya, Samut Songkhram, Nakhon Pathom, and Kanchanaburi. In these provinces, river excursions are operated by local tour operators. Boats for rent are also available at major piers. The price should be established before beginning the trip. Between Bangkok and Nonthaburi, regular boats run along the Chao Phraya River with frequent stops to pick up and drop passengers. The boats are usually crowded during the rush hours of a working day.

All provinces and major districts in the Central Region are linked by highways, while the distant districts and villages can be accessed using rural roads.
