| Description |
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chao_Phraya_Express_Boat" rel="noreferrer nofollow">The Chao Phraya Express Boat</a> is a transportation service in Thailand that operates on the Chao Phraya River. It provides riverine express transportation between stops in the capital city of Bangkok and to Nonthaburi, the province immediately to the north. Established in 1971, the Chao Phraya Express Boat Company serves both local commuters and tourists. It also offers special tourist boats and a weekend river boat tours, as well as offering boats available for charter. The 21 kilometres route is served by 65 boats and operates from 6:00 am to 7:30 pm (last departure from CEN-Sathorn pier of a yellow flagged boat) in weekdays and from 6:00 am to 6:40 pm in weekends and holidays. Current prices are from 9 Thai Baht (Local line for distance within one zone) to 30 Thai Baht (for green-yellow flag trip on its entire route from Pakkret to Sathon), depending on the type of boat and the distance travelled. The river boats carry an average of about 40,000 passengers per day.

It was conceived to alleviate traffic congestion on the nearby Phra Pinklao Bridge. Construction of the bridge took place from 1999 to 2002. The bridge was opened on 7 May 2002 and inaugurated on 20 September, which is the birth anniversary of the late King Ananda Mahidol (Rama VIII), after whom it is named. The bridge has an asymmetrical design, with a single pylon in an inverted Y shape located on the western bank of the river. Its eighty-four cables are arranged in pairs on the side of the main span and in a single row on the other. The bridge has a main span of 300 metres (980 ft), and was one of the world's largest asymmetrical cable-stayed bridges at the time of its completion.
