Bangkok's canals have stories to tell. For centuries, these waterways are how people got around the city, but somewhere along the way everyone jumps on buses and trains instead. Now TTA Mariner wants to change that with electric taxi boats that zip you through the Old Town without costing a penny (yet).
The service connects Hua Lamphong to Banglamphoo, weaving through the bits of Bangkok most tourists miss. The vessels are owned and operated by TTA Mariner under TTA Group. Six-passenger boats stop at 14 piers along Khlong Phadung Krung Kasem, hitting spots like Hua Lamphong Railway Station (which links straight to the MRT), Ratchadamnoen Nok, Yodsae, Ministry of Energy, Thewet Market and Pom Phra Sumen.
It's the Bangkok you remember, except the boats run on electricity instead of diesel fumes. You float past century-old shophouses and temple roofs while everyone else sits in traffic on Ratchadamnoen Road. The canals give you a completely different angle on the city, one that most people forget exists.
Using it is dead simple. Download the MuvMi app, tap Boat mode and choose where you want to start and finish. Hua Lamphong to Banglamphoo? Done. The boats run from 9am to 5pm every day.
Rides cost absolutely nothing until 28 February. After that MuvMi starts charging from March 2026, with prices similar to their electric tuk-tuks. If you've been putting off exploring the Old Town, this is your chance to see it the way it's meant to be seen, from the water.
