The Taksin Bridge Pier, also known as Sathorn Pier, is a major transportation hub in Bangkok and the main pier for the Chao Phraya Express Boat Service. This pier provides a convenient way to use the river as a mode of transportation and access popular destinations such as the Grand Palace, Wat Arun, and Chinatown. Located just under the Taksin Bridge, the pier is easily accessible via the Saphan Taksin BTS Skytrain station, which provides quick access to other parts of the city.
Sathorn Pier is important for tourists and commuters alike, as it serves not only regular boats but also private tour boats and water taxis. Its location on the Chao Phraya River allows visitors to enjoy a scenic ride along the river while taking in the impressive Bangkok skyline. The pier is also surrounded by street markets and restaurants, making it a lively meeting place.
