try it, same as a boat ride in the canals

Actually it is more for tourists, long stayers never use them, they are too expensive , stinky hot , you better take a motorbike taxi or real taxi or BTS train, or subway.
But first time visitors love it , and that is o.k. too , only drivers are sheeters ( not all) often asking too much for a ride, offer 50% less and they take it
