Transportation
B. แม่น้ำเจ้าพระยา ท่าพายัพ Chao Phraya River / Payap Pier (3.2 km.)
The Chao Phraya River is the lifeblood of Bangkok. And not just because of its rich history. Around 50,000 people still use its ferries to get to each day. Slow barges bearing cargo coast upstream. Kids still frolic in the russet-brown water. Wooden shacks, mottled by the elements, still lurch over the water.
The nearest pier from Baannai is Payap Pier. From here you can take the Orange Flag public line to get around Bangkok by boat which is lots of fun and a more adventurous mode of travel than skytrain, taxi, etc.

Born in Italy as Corrado Feroci, he came to Thailand during the reign of King Rama V, and soon became an inspiration for his progressive outlook and amazing talent. In 1943, he helped found an arts school that would later become Silpakorn University. The historic building has been carefully renovated and is now open to the public as a café and gallery.
