Review & FAQ:

Flowing from the central plains of Bangkok to the Gulf of Thailand, Chao Phraya River was named by King Rama I as ‘the river of kings’ in 1782. He built some of the most amazing temples along the river bank, which can now be seen among several 19th-century European-style buildings, beautiful churches, shops, restaurants, and houses with structures that resound with the design of previous eras.

The river is also home to a bustling flower and fruit market as well as a few floating restaurants where visitors can try some delicious noodle soup as they enjoy the view.
