Boat Trip on The Chaopraya River in Bangkok - Part 1 - Wat Bukkhalo

In this video we take a river cruise around Bangkok by boat on the Chaopraya River. Along the river we get to see and experience the busy capital city from a different perspective. We also stop at several places along the way; Wat Bukkhalo, Wat Pathum Khongkha, Wat Khemapirataram, Wat Sam Phraya and Wat Kalayanamitr. Life on the river is varied and exciting.

Part 1 we stop at the first of 5 temples that are part of the tour Wat Bukkhalo.

Wat Bukkhalo was founded in 1767 during the Ayutthaya Period. Tourists rarely get here despite it being located on the Chao Phraya River. The temple features 2 fantastic Ayutthaya style halls with murals depicting the life of the Buddha. There is also stairs that you can climb up 3 stories to the rooftop where several Buddha images are shaded from the sun by small sala structures. Enjoy the breeze from the river and an impressive view while sharing the shade with the Buddha. Merit making in the form of feeding the river fish is quite common thanks to the riverside access and kids really enjoy doing this.

Enjoy the video!
