Canal Boats

Mahakan fort - near Panfa boat station - this seems to be a typical design of a Thai fort on the

river or klong (canal).

Map showing how I got to Pantip Plaza by TukTuk and Canal Boat

I've discovered a new way to get to Pantip Plaza - get a TukTuk (about 5 mins from area of my hotel * costing about 30 Bhat) to Panfa Boat Station (shown above) and get a boat to Patunam - it only costs 10-15 Baht (I cant remember exact price) and only takes 10 mins. This compares to a bus journey of 1-2 hours (depending on traffic) - so it's actually quicker to go

by boat in Bangkok !!!! Below: One of the ticket collectors on my boat - notice he is

wearing a crash-helmet - for low bridges !!!!!
