It is the easiest evening for a family or a first night: clean, walkable, on the water, and the boat ride there is half the fun. Touristy, but honestly pleasant.
How to visit it well
- Take the free shuttle boat from Saphan Taksin pier.
- Calypso Cabaret is here if you want a show.
- Eat at the river-facing restaurants, not the food court.
