Over the river from our Condo is Thonburi, which was the capital of Siam before the King decided the swamp on the other side of the river looked...umh...swampier [a good thing as it made it more difficult for the war-like Burma folks to march their Elephant Cavalry over to sack the city]...this was about 200 years ago.
So, I crossed an older, steel bridge at the end of Param3 Road, travelled along Rat Burana Road, visited the river under the fabulous Rama9 bridge, near the KBank Obelisk [where I worked for nearly 3 years when I first came to Bangkok], then on to the new Bhumibhol01 bridge [not sure if cyclists are permitted but no-one stopped me], and home.

Here is a gallery of pics I shot during this ride...very river-related:
