Waterways of Thailand
 

   Thailand has a huge variety of watercraft with boats of all sizes, shapes and colors navigating the Kingdom’s many internal waterways. As of 2011, there were 3,999 km of principal waterways, of which 3,701 km had navigable depths of 0.9 m or more throughout the year. There are numerous minor waterways navigable by shallow-draft native craft, such as long-tailed boats. In Bangkok, the Chao Phraya River is a major transportation artery, with ferries, water taxis, rice barges, and long-tailed boats. There are local, semi-express, and express lines for commuters, though the winding river means trips can be much fasther than by bus. There is also the Khlong Saen Saeb boat service, which provides fast, inexpensive transport in central Bangkok.
