You will need to take another 45 mins through the highway\n323 towards Saiyok district, where the nature bank of the country is, in order\nto reach Phutakien Pier (Resotel pier). Travelling from Suvarnabhumi airport will need around 40+ mins more as it is away from\nthe Bangkok town. In\ntotal from Suvarnbhumi, you will need to travel approx. 3.30 hrs to Phutakien Pier (Resotel pier). However, during long\nholidays, Thailand New Year (Song Kran) and New Year period or even Friday\u2019s nights, it is more time due\nto the traffic congestion. On the back back to Bangkok, it could take longer than 3.30 hrs due to the traffic\nrushing into Bangkok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:24px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"h4 wp-block-heading\">PUBLIC TAXIS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"798\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.riverkwaijunglerafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/taxis.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1481\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.riverkwaijunglerafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/taxis.jpg 798w, https:\/\/www.riverkwaijunglerafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/taxis-300x217.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.riverkwaijunglerafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/taxis-768x554.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 798px) 100vw, 798px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Why do not choose public taxis? \u2013 The drivers are not familiar\nwith the way.
