Via Tien Pier
Tha Tien is the Chao Phraya pier next to Wat Pho and the starting point for most walking tours through the old city, crossing from one riverbank to the other. Two services operate from here. The Chao Phraya Express Boat (orange flag) stops at the main pier, and a separate ferry departs every few minutes for Wat Arun for just a few baht – the fastest and cheapest way to reach the Temple of Dawn. The alley behind the pier is lined with numerous cafes and Thai restaurants catering to temple visitors, making it an ideal spot for a lunch break between Wat Pho and Wat Arun.
The pier is a three-minute walk from Wat Pho's Maha Rat Road gate and about ten minutes from the Grand Palace. Sanam Chai MRT station is five minutes to the east. Thanks to its connection to the boats and the MRT, Tha Tien is the only transport hub from which the entire temple district can be reached without a taxi.

Tips for visiting the transport sector
Always photograph any existing damage to the scooter before setting off and keep your passport safe – hand over a copy instead (some shops insist on the original; avoid these). Wear a helmet; the police will fine you 500 THB for not wearing one, and accidents without a helmet will result in the loss of your insurance coverage.
