We decided to take a boat along the river so that we could see some of Bangkok's sights and it was great!
There are a number of ferry stops along the river so you can get on/off easily. We decided to get the orange flag boat which cost 15 baht per person one way. It's much cheaper than the tourist boat and it is almost equivalent in route and boat quality, minus the information, so I would recommend it. It's a nice way to view the City with a bit of a breeze and less walking, which is great in the heat. We went during the daytime, but I imagine at night it's very pretty.
The river itself is, unfortunately, quite dirty so isn't that appealing. It is fairly wide and there is some quality architecture along its course. We saw a great number of fish in one location, all near the surface like someone was feeding them though that wasn't happening at the time so it was a strange phenomenon (picture below).
Overall, it is a nice way to see Bangkok and explore the City, I'd recommend it!
