The furthest you can take with tourist boat is only Phra Arthit pier.

If you want go all the way to the end which is Nonthaburi, you will have to switch to Orange boat. You still can take the orange boat using the tourist day pass.

yes, the day pass applies to all boat
the tourist boat will stop at each stop that a tourist will go..so its enough
but even if u take tourist boat each time, the day pass is still not worthed

yes, increased
the moment i went last year, its already increased
its not even the same rate as advertised on chao phraya river express website
im not even sure the THB150 is the updated rate
but nevertheless, dnt take the daily pass...its not worthed
at least based on the price i paid last year, its not worthed
even if u take tourist boat(the most expensive one) the whole trip and alight at all the stop that u need to, its still below the day pass price

my advice it, pay each trip...dnt buy the day pass

chinatown street food only came alive at night, 6PM onward
u can actually squeeze chinatown before asiatique....asiatique opens until very late and so is their free boat

Yes bro. Chinatown has one of the best food in BKK.

I also recommend you do not buy the Chao Phraya tourist daily pass.

Just get on the Orange Boat which is a fixed rate boat. Each way costs you 18 Baht (does not matter how far). You would have to take 10 trips to make the daily pass worth it. If you plan your itinerary wisely, I do not think you will even take more than 5 trips.

But this Orange Boat is not as spacious and comfortable as the tourist boat. And there is no announcement.

But it should not be too hard to know which pier you are getting off and also you get to ride with the locals.

If money is not a problem then by all means buy the daily pass. Up to your preference.

Noted for the advise. Thanks all. But not sure how bad is the clamping of the street food now sad.gif hopefully i still got chance to try before they all kena ban 100% off the streets

Hi, I would like to ask if 1k baht per day sufficient for one person for transportation plus meals? Without shopping.
*
Yes, it is more than enough. Average per meal (meal+drink) would cost you around 80 baht to 200 baht. Depend on where you eat. Unless you eat at restaurant or hotel.

QUOTE(lawtm @ Apr 12 2017, 05:35 PM)
May I know what the limit powerbank can bring in to Bangkok??
May I know enough or not if I bring 30K baht into Bangkok for 4days?
*
I think by flight they only allow powerbank less than 40000.

My experience of 5 days 4 night trip to Bangkok. I spend of around 15~18k. Include meals, transportation and entrance fees for tourist attractions.

You can try this: http://life5tyle.com/2017/04/prachak-pet-yang-bangkok/

It is quite near to Chinatown, about 5 minute by tuk-tuk or taxi.
