Ferry home via Wat Arun

We exited Wat Pho realizing we were hot and fatigued and decided to head home rather than take in the famous Wat Arun. First, we caught a boat which crossed the Chao Phraya River to Wat Arun, had a quick drink and glance at Wat Arun as we headed to the Blue Flag Chao Phraya Tourist Boat which took us from the Wat Arun Pier to the end of the line at Phra Arthit pier. We would highly recommend this boat as a good way to get to many of the main sites walkable from the river. A 15-minute walk along the river, through a park and down a bridge took us back to our neighbourhood. As usual, we were relieved to get to our room, turn on the aircon, hop into the shower, and cool down before heading out for dinner nearby.Read more
