travelling guideline:
1. The best way to visit the Chao Phraya River is by cruise ship, so there are many local cruise ships. Before boarding the boat, look carefully at the location and boat logo. Generally, different travel companies will have logos of different colors. In addition, there will be some performances along the way, so it is recommended to ask before going up to watch them, because most of them require a fee.
2. The Chao Phraya River takes the central pier as its midpoint, and the north is represented by N. There are N1-N33, a total of 33 piers. The larger the number, the farther north. There are four terminals including S1-S4 to the south. The main lines include colorless local lines, orange lines, yellow lines, green lines and blue lines. Generally, the orange line and the blue line are mostly used by tourists. The blue line itself is a cruise route and is mainly targeted at tourists.
