Wat Phra Kaew

Out of the bustle of the floating market on another popular tour, the to the Standard excursion programs in Bangkok heard: Klong Ka Cha. Instead of the stolid wide barges of the floating market tours, very narrow cars be used where only two and two people can sit side by side. You will find use as water taxis in public transport on the Klongs. The powerful motor is on a long pole, with whose help the coxswain can instantaneously lift the lively screw out of the water. In this way, the drivers on the dense traffic channels with their vehicles that frenzied bring about stunning maneuver.
