scenes from chao phraya
We took a boat from the Saphan Thanksin Station, up the Chao Phraya River towards the Grand Palace.
Traveling the murky river is as if watching history unfold, as old architecture blends in with the modern contemporary, and landmarks progress with the punctuations of time. Nuanced with rich cultural influences - from Chinese villages to British colonial mansions, right down to the uniquely pointed Thai temples - nothing seemed planned and fitted, and yet they seem to just blend seamlessly.
