Hi Cheshire I wondered why that Wharf didn't have a number. Does make it a little confusing. I did use Chao Phraya Express Boat service from Central Pier. If your going to scoot about the River all day 150 baht is a good deal I think. They have a pretty good Website with good touristy type info. http://www.chaophrayaexpressboat.com/en/tourist/ Damn shame Wat Arun has closed down for 3 years. They must have put the scaffold up when I got on the boat to leave. Looking at Wat Arun I couldn't help think of the Antoni Gaudi I wonder if he got his inspiration from

Correct. So Glad I saw it before it closed for renos. http://www.nationmultimedia.com/national/Wat-Arun-stupa-to-be-closed-for-three-years-30215244.html No problem we are off to The Grand Palace The Emerald Buddha, Thrown Hall Palace, National Museum and the City Pillar Shrine just one Pier up at Maharaj Pier (9)

Using the BTS Skytrain to get about Bangkok. Forget Taxis and Tuk Tuks the BTS is a fantastic way to get around in Bangkok. It takes a small amount of practice and you will be an expert in no time at all. On the BTS system all instructions are in English so if you just remember the simple steps you can easily work out finer details on the fly. The BTS Skytrain consists of two lines Sukhumvit and Silom. The two lines intersect at Siam Station.
