How to use it
ท่าtâa is a landing place, so ท่าเรือtâa-ruea covers everything from a wooden jetty on a river to a container port. Bangkok's river boats stop at piers called ท่าtâa plus a name, such as Tha Chang by the Grand Palace. Boat tickets to the islands are often sold with a minivan ride from your hotel to the pier.
