Rajinee Pier
Rajinee Pier

Rajinee Pier, also written as Rajini Pier (ท่าราชินี, RTGS: Tha Rachini, pronounced [tʰâː râː.t͡ɕʰīː.nīː]) with designated pier number N7, is a pier on the Chao Phraya River located at the Wang Burapha Phirom Subdistrict, Phra Nakhon District in the area of Pak Khlong Talat on the Rattanakosin Island. The pier is named after Rajini School, one of the oldest all-girls secondary schools located right beside it. The pier serves the Chao Phraya Express Boat and is known for its scenic views. From this side of the river, one can see Santa Cruz Church, the pagoda of Wat Prayurawongsawat, and three adjoining white Thai-style pavilions that house the City Law Enforcement Department's head office, which was once the Thonburi Provincial Hall. Altogether, this area is known as Kudi Chin, a historic neighbourhood dating back to before the founding of Rattanakosin (present-day Bangkok), originally settled by Thai people of mixed Chinese and Portuguese descent. Rajinee Pier is situated between Yodpiman Pier (N6/1) and Wat Arun Pier (N7/1) and is among the busiest, both for passengers and tourists. It offers convenient connections to other public transport systems, including the MRT Blue Line at Sanam Chai Station, as well as several BMTA bus routes, such as lines 5, 4-48 (7ก), 2-38 (8), 3-41 (47), 2-9 (53), and 2-45 (73). In 2022, the pier was renovated as part of the Marine Department's Smart Pier initiative and reopened in late December. The facility is a two-story passenger terminal covering 1,277 square meters, with a rooftop terrace serving as a riverside viewpoint and multi-purpose space. Its interior design highlights elements of Thai identity, blending modern functionality with cultural aesthetics.

Wat Kanlayanamit
Wat Kanlayanamit

Wat Kalayanamitr Varamahavihara (Thai: วัดกัลยาณมิตรวรมหาวิหาร, RTGS: Wat Kanlayanamit Woramahawihan, IPA: [wát kanlajaːnamít wɔːráʔmahǎːwíʔhǎːn]) is a Buddhist temple (wat) in Bangkok, Thailand. The temple is located in Wat Kanlaya sub-district, on the Thonburi bank of the Chao Phraya River. The temple was established in 1825 by Chaophraya Nikonbodin (born To, Thai: เจ้าพระยานิกรบดินทร์ (โต)), a wealthy Thai Chinese trader, who donated the temple to Rama III. Chaophraya Nikonbodin was an ancestor of the Kalayanamitr family, whose descendants include Saprang Kalayanamitr. A poem inscribed in the temple reads: Wat Kalayanamitr Varamahavihara is one of three family temples of the Kalayanamitr family, along with Wat Rakhang and Wat Chakkrawatdirachawat Woramahawihan. The family name Kalayanamitr derives from a poem inscribed in the temple.The ordination hall, stands out on the riverbank. It houses a huge Buddha image, Phra Buddha Trai Rattananayok (พระพุทธไตรรัตนนายก), or Luang Pho To (หลวงพ่อโต, Big Buddha) in Thai, known among the ethnic Chinese as Sampokong (ซำปอกง; Chinese: 三寶公). It is the largest Buddha image in Bangkok, in the same style as the Big Buddha at Wat Phanan Choeng in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya. Therefore making the ordination hall of this temple very large and clearly visible from the river. Both Buddha images are regarded as representatives of both Buddha and Zheng He. Thais and Thais of Chinese descent hold fast to the belief that paying respect to the image brings prosperity and fortune, as well as safe journeys throughout the year.
