Thailand
Quieter than tuk-tuks, more breezy than using the buses, cheap as chips, better sights and smells and much more in tune with what the locals do.
There are stops all the way up and down the river, they come about every five or six minutes most days
First off, get a decent map. The bus map, available for 50 baht from Asia Books, is a good one. Next, head to the river and take a Chao Phraya river boat, either up to Nonthaburi, or down to the Skytrain station. Relaxing and cheap, with good scenery.
