Along The Grand Canal of Bangkok: The most famous piers you Never Miss!
Bangkok is the capital city of Thailand that once used the canal as the main route between each part of the city. On this modern-day, public water transportation is still famous even traveling on land is closer to Bangkokian's daily life more than 100 years ago. The waterway spread through the entire capital and some of them could use as transportation routes. The Chao Praya river as the most important river of Bangkok is one of the major transportation that brings suburban and the business area to get closer than the other transportation.

When we look back into the historical records, Thai people are living together with the river not only for bangkok's transportation but they built the culture and shaping it related to the river. You could see the temples standstill both sides of the river and sometimes you could see the palace next to the river too.
