Bangkok - Chao Phraya River

The River of Kings
That's the loose translation of Chao Phraya and it makes sense - this is a massive river that splits Bangkok in two. I can see how it was the lifeblood of the place in ancient times. This is a shot from a bridge looking eastward towards downtown.

There were many tugs pulling barges as well as pleasure bloats speeding by. Close to me, a group of small boys were splashing around at the river's edge.
