Yesterday we took a river boat along the Khlong Saen Saeb River to the Khao San Road! Described in the guide book as 'dirty and dangerous' - it was was more dirty (and smelly!) than dangerous and more interesting than taking a taxi.
The taxi boat arrives and it's all go to get on... then speeds off to the next stop! A few stops down the boat just stops...everyone scrambles of and runs and hops on the next avaliable the boat! It cost 12 baht (22p!) for a 20 min manic cruise.. The boat was crowded and you hang on to whatever or whoever you can, when another boat passes.. watch out for the wave of dirty smelly (OMG.. it is smelly!) water that gushes in the boat!

From Phanfa Leelard Pier it's a 10 min walk, passing the Royal Pavilion Mahajetsadabadin, to the Khao San Road... shopping haven! Super busy with backpacker and anyone looking for cheap beer and a 50 baht (92p) Pad Thai!
