 .River taxi: empirical but effective
The shuttles of the khlongs are convenient, fast and cheap means of public transport.

9 bahts ticket delivered by the controller.
>> The price, without surprise, is proportional to the distance. Detailed tables, available on the departure and on the connexions, propose the tariffs, but only in thai. Thus, it is important to precisely know the place of arrival and to indicate it to the controller. He will deliver you a ticket mentioning clearly the cost of the run. There are seven possible prices, with or without change (3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 or 15 bahts). The boat does not systematically stop at all the stations. Therefore it will be necessary for you to appear, leaving your seat 100/150 meters before the arrival of the taxi to the pontoon. It will only remain for you to play the equilibrists on the edge of the boat until the lightning stop along the quay. Good luck! (/JZ)
