21 NOVEMBER 2012 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: A ferry captain steers his boat across the Chao Phraya River. A network of ferries connect the Thonburi section of Bangkok to Bangkok proper, crossing the Chao Phraya River. The fare is 3 Thai Baht, about $ 0.15 (US). The boats are the fastest way to get from north to south in Bangkok. Thousands of people commute to work daily on the Chao Phraya Express Boats and fast boats that ply Khlong Saen Saeb. Boats are used to haul commodities through the city to deep water ports for export.    PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
