Actually, Nonthaburi--Pibul 3 Pier is a hub of all style boats as same as Central Pier (Sathon-Saphan Taksin (BTS S6 Station).

Getting on boat at Banglumpu--Phra Arthit Pier and then get off Tha Chang Pier for traveling to Grand Palace is the first step to experience this service (See Boat Pier).

As we've mentioned above, as the meaning of word "WIN", the motor bikers are worried about their time to speed and reached the destination by competition with others, so they are not mind though you will always remind them that you are driving so fast!!. The last answer of Thais, mostly don't mind about their safe, they're so worried about the time hanging with traffic ways. It's the alternatively decision for you as we've been proud to attention before choosing. Trying, it's amazing.
