Took BTS train to Saphan Taksin station and took the orange flag Chao Phraya express boat to N8 Tha Thien. It was 12 baht to N9 half a year ago. It costed 15 baht/person now.
En route - Holy Rosary Church
It was very high tide at Chao Phraya River today.
We had to get off at N8 Tha Thien where Wat Pho was to transfer ferry to Wat Arun. But the area to the transfer pier was flooded till ankle.
We had to take off our shoes to get across.
This is the bridge linking to the pier to get over to Wat Arun
It costed 4 baht per person to cross over to Wat Arun.
