Before being connected by phones and laptops, connections took place mostly in the physical realm. The town square, the market, roads, and of course, rivers are an ancient way to connect with others. In Bangkok, the river still carries this function. Today we loaded up in a long tail boat and explored some lesser known estuaries of the Chao Phraya river.
Long tail boats are outfitted with flowers and long racing engines
Most temples in Bangkok have some river access - a nod to the old way
A monitor lizard on the banks of the river - 3 feet of ancient predator has survived on these rivers for millennia

My view
Homes line the river
Turning a corner
A man fishes from his porch
Our driver next to his intercooler
Homes
A river merchant
A swimming monitor
A market
A river temple
Someone’s colorful home
