Rolling with the BMTA - The Riverboat Shuttle

As everybody knows Bangkok is choked by ite eternal traffic jams which make comfortable transportation between 7 a.m.- 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.-7 p.m. almost impossible.
Canal boats and the riverboat shuttle are some of the few ways to get from A to B on time in the City of Angels.
The trip from Khao San (Phra Athit Pier) to the BTS link (Saphan Tahaksin Pier) takes only 15 minutes.
In addition, you spare yourself an intoxication by exhaustion fumes and get lots of photo opportunities on a southbound riverboat trip



To find out which boat belongs to which line, just check the triangular flag on the boats. The orange on stops almost everywhere




The pier at Khao San Road. Don`t let them confuse you: Some touts try to convince you that the shuttle boat is an „Express Boat“, which it is not. Just wait until…




…a boat like this one comes

Ugly on the daytime…




…cheesy at night




If one got off the boat on the wrong side of the river, these ferries will take you to the right shore




What isn´t in the picture, ist he enormous noise of this LOngtail boats engine



Slums im/am Fluss



Lots of buddhist monasteries on the river banks, which is why there are almost always monks aboard




During some seasons parts of the river are overgrown with this kind of water plants

Weeks of filming the movie „Pyaar Impossible“ spilled that much income in our now much too small wallets, that Nick and me spontaneously restarted our night time Burger King habit and made us carry our bed bug bitten bodies to BK at Khao San.

Never before had an american restaurant chain so accurately complied to my needs. Instead of three “Pepper Woppers” I could enjoy a “Triple Pepper Whopper” – pure beauty.
And as far as I remember, we spilled it down with some beer at Khao San Center – but I am not sure. It`s just the pictures that look a little like it.
