With over 300 amazing islands off the Thailand coastlines, it can be difficult to choose which islands to visit and how long to stay. If you decide to visit islands in the Andaman Sea or the Gulf of Thailand, there are an assortment of ferries, speed boat and longtail boat transfer services available to get you island-hopping in no time.
River and canal transport
In Bangkok, the Chao Phraya River is a major transportation artery, with ferries, water taxis (the Chao Phraya Express Boat) and long-tailed boats. There are local, semi-express, and express lines for commuters, though the winding river means trips can be much farther than by bus. There is also the Khlong Saen Saeb boat service, which provides fast, inexpensive transport in central Bangkok.
