From Waarun, you can take a boat along the river and see the big Buddha statue. 1200 baht, although it's a little expensive, but the wooden buildings along the river contain the lives of the residents. Although it's not the beautiful appearance we want, I think it's not bad to see something a little realistic than just looking at something gorgeous and good.

In some places, rivers look more like canals. Pollution, garbage in the water, old wooden houses can be seen everywhere. There are also some river markets. Frankly, these rivers are far from meeting the standards of the Amsterdam or St Petersburg canals. River markets are very common in Africa and parts of Asia. I was interested in canals when I first saw floating markets in the 1980s. But now, I have gone to so many places that I think it is no longer interesting.

The Canal is not only an important tourist attraction in Thailand, but also a daily way of transportation and lifestyle of Thai people. Walking along the Canal, you can see many buildings with Siam style, which are very exotic.

There are many traffic boats on the Mekonan River in Bangkok. They are not only the patents of tourists, but also the important means of transportation for local people. The boats on the canal are cheap, convenient and beautiful. There is a station at each section. Buying good tickets at the station is like waiting for a bus. You must try it.

Bangkok road traffic is very crowded, in addition to the subway and light rail as you know, in fact, it is also a very fast way to take a boat on the canal. And the tickets are class. The farther the fare goes, the more expensive it is. In fact, they are not too expensive, but they are very fast, faster than the cars on the road.
