Upriver to Nonthaburi

This morning we took a trip up to the last Express Boat stop in the Chao Phraya River, the town of Nonthaburi. A trip anywhere on the boat costs 15 baht, about 50 cents, so quite affordable. Here are a few pictures of that journey. 

The express boat arriving. 

A house on the river 

A small pier at the river which belongs to the Wat and the Teak Museum we saw the day before. There are vendors there selling fish food which people toss to the waiting catfish which are smart enough to hang around the area. Our friend Judy Abel reminded us of this phenomena. River plus temple equals catfish feeding. (See next picture)

On the boat it can get crowded. 

A temple complex along the route 

And a Chinese temple too 

The market in Nonthaburi. That's Geordie on the left. 

Crabs for sale

And vegetables

How much ?

A temple on the other side of the river on our return trip

Love the angles one can get from a boat on the river. This is the Rama VII bridge which we drove over on our way into Bangkok. 

Over-the-top light fixture at our favourite dessert stop where we had blueberry cheesecake tarts after our trip up river. I cheated and used the star widget on my camera.
