Tha Chang Pier is perched on a picturesque hilltop overlooking 198 Tha Suphan Alley , 10200, Thailand
we walked down here from Khao San road, and several times got wrong turn lol. As we decided to go to China town and the best and fastest way to go there is by the ship. So we tried to get ship at this pier because it is the closest one from our position, expectantly the pier is beautiful with old fortes and park!!. Ship is cheap, only 15 Bath and always full, it would be difficult to get free bench, but you would be happily stand at board and enjoy river scenery until the shipworker blow its whistle, it will ruin your hearing lol, seriously the sound is like million thunders cracking the sky, be remember always, be stay away from this shipworker
It’s yet an other pier like other piers but it’s more popular, cause from here you can get to Wat Arun. You need to take a small boat which ferry you across the Chao Phraya river and you have to pay just 5 baht. there is a market as well at Tha Chang pier… there are some food shops and restaurants too. It’s OK to spend sometime here…
Fairly simple stop without a lot of things around it (market, food stalls, souvenir vendors). Good to go to wat arun. Location is south of Thammasat university, not north as it is on Tripadvisor- north is Wang Na ferry pier.
Large guided groups are being funnelled through this area causing overcrowding, distress and hazard. It is a crush disaster waiting to happen.
Near Tha Chang Pier are the Big Palace, National Museum, Sanam Luang and food market. The Chao Phraya River is also a great way to enjoy the sightseeing of Bangkok city.
You are promised a lot of things, from floating market to temle of dawn. All you get is the temple which first you pay 30 baht to park the bout and additional 50 per person to enter. To finish it off they left of at the temple.If you are preparing to pay 30-40 € per person for 40 minutes in the canals, go for it. otherwise avoid at all cost!
We were approached by a vendor, however we asked the stalls and all were relatively the same price (about 400 baht per person). The vendor told us we would get a one hour scenic tour, see the floating markets, and they would drop us off at the temple of the reclining budda. We were a bit apprehensive at first and then thought, why not! Well…. we were whisked off to this boat which headed towards the canals. It was terrible! We thought maybe it would turn out alright once we started to get further in, but it was so nasty! The houses on the waters edge are rotting, there’s rubbish and junk everywhere and it smells really bad! We got to the “floating markets” which was literally one canoe with some junk in it waiting to the side of the river. We thought it was a joke (we were actually laughing because it was so ridiculous). After, we were dropped off at the pier near the reclining budda as promised, we were greeted by a women and two men who told my friend and I that we had to pay a 30 baht “landing fee” because it was a “provide pier”. It didnt seem like not paying was an option… All in all, felt pretty scammy to us ?
