The tour guide told us about the water orchid thing and the monitor lizard. He said that the king was so smart and intelligence that he was the one that order the monitor lizard to be placed in the river. The monitor lizard will clean the river and cleanse it. As for water orchid, it was meant to clean the river through the smell so it would not be so smelly.

Through the view in the Chao Phraya River, as we pass by the canals the tour guide told us that there are few area whereby the place the Burma attacked the country. We then listen and listened till Mr. Thomas fell asleep.

We laced through some canals and realized that no wonder that Bangkok was called the “Venice of the East” by the European tourists.

We ended the river tour when we reached the Grand Palace. Even though Bangkok has become a modern city today, for those who seek for the slow and peaceful pace amidst the bustling Bangkok can opt for the Chao Phraya River tour.
