So destination was set, the route ought to be more interesting than getting stucked in the traffic by a cab. I took the journey by my usual favourite way - going by BTS to Sephan Taksin and took a local boat to Phra Athit Pier.
The scenery by the Chao Prya River is terrific, especially during dawn or dusk. Since I have never taken the initiative to wake up so early in the morning, dusk would work for me :) There are lots of temples ( Wat) along the river, including Temple of Dawn, Wat Po, and Grand Palace. The local boat fares are very cheap, it costs about 12 baht for a trip. If you are told to pay 500 baht for a cruise, I'd recommend you not to take that cruise. Experiece the cheap and interesting way and save the money for some beers or better meals later :)

When the boat passed by the Temple of Dawn, I gasped. It was so pretty and I promise I'll try my best to wake up for the dawn scene. I bet it would be breathtaking! One day, I would, and I'll write and take lots of pictures!
About 30-40 minutes of boat ride, we arrived at Pra Athit Station and not more than 10 minutes walk, I already had a beer in my hand with some moo ping and pad thai in Kaosan Raod. :)
