Well, you can invite your friends and buy food, and enjoy live music. You may hop on to any of the boats at Saphan Taksin.

- Driving a Tuk-tuk until you drop: Tuk-tuk is nothing but a taxi without a door. In fact, it’s a rickshaw that is engine-driven. Once you board a tuk-tuk, make sure that you have to do a lot of negotiation. These engine-driven automobiles are more than fast and furious. Make sure you will smell all the carbon monoxide due to the low height of the Tuk-tuk. Anyways, be prepared to bid your lowest best.
