Boarding a Long Tailed Speed Boat in Bangkok
Monday 26th September 1994. I enjoyed a trip on the Chao Phraya River and Bangkok’s canals (the klongs) in the long tailed speed boat which followed the one in the photo at the pier.
My boat was a little smaller and lower in the water and there was quite a step down into the boat. The river was running fast and two Thai guys were having trouble holding the boat steady. Another passenger jokingly asked if many people fell into the river when trying to get on the boat. Our guide answered by saying, “Not too many lately. Only two last week.”
