Longtail boats on the Andaman Sea, Thailand

Dustpaw and Sandpaw gossiping in the apprentice’s den, probably about how smelly Gray, Fire, and Raven are. In my AU Dust still has a little crush on Sand, but it doesn’t stop them from being close and it fades away before they become warriors, I am changing it so that he isn’t Ferncloud’s uncle. (Yucky)

I use @bonefall ‘s gender roles, molly, tom, and gib for my AU but transitioning between is acceptable and fairly common.

He’s always been closer to mollies than toms, he takes some bullying from his second mentor Darkstripe about as well as Tigerstar. Which is why he redirects his feelings into his beef with Firepaw. Longtail would tease him occasionally but didn’t discourage his interests. When Dust finishes his initial apprenticeship Longtail and Sandstorm encourage him to pursue extra training as a camp keeper which is typically done by mollies. He’s protective and doesn’t wander, he’s not super assertive and shows the typical tom behavior of not arguing or participating in major drama.

Sand is in a similar boat, she doesn’t behave like a typical molly and is much more interested in border patrols and hunting. Anything that involves roaming around the territory and socially stimulating, which is a very Tom-like behavior. However she’s not passive, quick to argue and assert her opinion whenever possible. Since she’s so quick to pick a fight, most cats don’t pick on her for it, but that doesn’t stop rumors and whispers about her being too ‘unreliable’ since she’s always wandering.

That’s why they get along so well, they both behave atypically of their assigned genders showing a mix of Tom and molly, but neither display behavior of Gib-ness or desire to transition.

Ma sportoltunk is kicsit, én nem akarok konyhásnéni karokat!!!

Kemény evezés volt, ellenszélben,sziklák között, miközben a longtail boat ok száguldoztak mellettünk.

Aztán természetesen piacozás és különleges csülök, amire persze bevettem egy dipankrint 😂

Gosh imagining the dynamic between grandpa Shriketail and Jayfeather makes me love Longfire even more-

Like their similarities and how Shrike/Long could help Jay get over his internalized ableism seen in the books, and instill the fight in Jay to get what he wants. Jay feelings deemed always being put with Brightheart and Shrike/Longtail only to realize these two were the strongest warriors because they learned to work with and know how to cope with their disabilities. Ofc Bright and Long aren’t in the exact same boat as they were injured later in life while Jay grew up blind but bc he was so young he also learned to hate his shortcomings from the cats around him, not letting him be a warrior, always pitying and babying him, openly talking about whether he could ever have a happy life.

I dunno I just think it’s such a good character to help Jayf grow throughout PO3

YES THIS!!!

At first I wanted Jay to immediately feel a lot less insecure about his blindness because of Shrike, but I really like the idea of him having an arc about it and overcoming his internalized ablism over time!

I think that though Thunder has had plenty of experience with disabled cats, (especially deaf ones since they have had three existing at the same time) they still have issues with ablism! I think that the Order could still really baby Jay because he was born blind, and maybe the Order is unsure of how to teach him to be a warrior due to him never having had vision!

I think Shrike would have stood up for him a lot and tried to fight for Jay, but from Jay’s young baby brain perspective, he views this a demeaning to him, he doesn't want to be stood up for, that would mean he’s weak! 

I think he would feel like everyone thinks lowly of him, and he lashes out and copies what he experiences, thinking lowly of other disabled cats and not wanting to be like them. But over time he learns that that is bullshit, and the disabled cats of the Order are the strongest ones here! And its okay to accept your disability and not be exactly like non disabled cats (I feel like Jay tries really hard to be a “normal” cat rather than accepting that he is disabled, which holds him back from fully learning the right techniques to be a warrior) 

Jay could have a dark forest trainee arc too, and realize and learn respect for his mentor and grandfather, which would lead him to quitting the DF! 

I want him to still become a Healer, but I think he would over time come want to be a healer on his own, and be in denial about that fact because he is so determined to prove himself as a warrior and he thinks that choosing to be a Healer would be viewed as him giving up. He ends up choosing to train as a Healer last minute right before his warrior ceremony!

Elephant Hills Day 2:

We went to a big lake that was made by a hydroelectric dam. The water was very blue and the mountains were very steep and high. We took a longtail boat to a floating camp and had some tasty lunch. We fed the fish some bread and went swimming. We made some new friends with some kids from the UK.

Exploring Bangkok on a Chao Phraya River Cruise: A Journey Through Thailand’s Beating Heart

Bangkok is a city of contrasts, where tradition harmonizes with modernity, and serenity meets the bustle of urban life. Amid its skyscrapers and chaotic traffic flows a river that has shaped the city's history, culture, and daily life—the Chao Phraya River. Often referred to as the "River of Kings," the Chao Phraya is the lifeblood of Bangkok, a waterway that not only connects the city’s past and present but also serves as one of the most scenic routes to explore its many wonders.

One of the best ways to truly appreciate Bangkok’s rich tapestry is by embarking on a Chao Phraya River Cruise. Whether you opt for a simple commuter ferry or a luxurious Chao Phraya Princess Dinner Cruise Bangkok, this river journey offers a fresh perspective of the city’s iconic landmarks, a glimpse into the local way of life, and a chance to step back in time, if only for a while.

The River of Kings: A Historical Lifeline

Historically, the Chao Phraya River was Bangkok’s main artery, sustaining life, commerce, and culture. The riverbanks became home to early settlements, royal palaces, and magnificent temples. Today, it continues to serve as a hub of activity, with everything from bustling markets and local homes on stilts to luxury hotels and restaurants lining its shores. While Bangkok has expanded far beyond the river, it remains a key part of the city's identity.

The Chao Phraya isn’t just a scenic backdrop; it’s an integral part of Bangkok’s soul. As you cruise along the water, it’s easy to imagine the grandeur of Ayutthaya, the ancient capital of Thailand, whose relics and influences can still be found in the architecture of the city.

Choosing Your Chao Phraya River Cruise

There are numerous ways to experience the Chao Phraya River. Whether you’re a budget traveler or someone seeking luxury, there’s a Chao Phraya River Cruise for every style. Let’s break down some popular options:

Public Riverboats (Chao Phraya Express Boats):

These are the city’s main water transport, ideal for those who want a quick and affordable way to get around. You can hop on and off the various piers to visit key attractions. A full-day pass gives you unlimited travel, making it a great way to explore on your terms. The public boats allow you to see a mix of local life, from office workers commuting to markets along the river to tourists navigating between landmarks.

Private Longtail Boat Tour:

For a more personal experience, hire a traditional longtail boat for a private tour. These slender, colorful boats with their distinctive motors provide an up-close view of the river’s smaller canals (klongs), giving you insight into the quieter, more local side of life in Bangkok. You’ll pass through narrow waterways, see traditional wooden homes on stilts, and perhaps even witness locals fishing or selling goods from their boats.

Chao Phraya Dinner Cruise:

If you’re looking for a more luxurious experience, several companies offer evening Chao Phraya Princess Dinner Cruises. These cruises feature gourmet Thai or international cuisine, live music, and a slow-paced tour of the river’s most famous landmarks under the glow of twilight and city lights. Some of the best views on these cruises include the glittering Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn), the Grand Palace, and the numerous bridges that span the river.

Highlights of a Chao Phraya River Cruise

While the journey itself is part of the appeal, the real magic of a Chao Phraya Dinner Cruise lies in the landmarks you encounter along the way. Here are a few must-see sights that you’ll pass by during your journey:

Wat Arun (The Temple of Dawn):

Wat Arun is one of the most iconic landmarks of Bangkok, with its towering spires and intricate mosaics. The temple, named after Aruna, the Indian God of Dawn, is best viewed during sunset when its prangs (spires) glow golden in the fading light. It’s a breathtaking sight and one that you’ll want to capture during your cruise.

The Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew:

Sitting majestically on the riverbank, the Grand Palace is a dazzling spectacle of Thai architecture. For over 150 years, it was the home of the Thai King and the royal court. Within its grounds lies Wat Phra Kaew (Temple of the Emerald Buddha), which houses a revered Buddha statue carved from a single block of jade.

Wat Pho (The Reclining Buddha Temple):

A little farther from the river, but still visible from certain points, is Wat Pho, home to the enormous reclining Buddha. Wat Pho is also considered the birthplace of traditional Thai massage, and visitors can take advantage of its on-site massage school for a relaxing treatment.

IconSiam and Asiatique The Riverfront:

While the temples offer a spiritual journey, the river is also a gateway to modern Bangkok’s lifestyle destinations. IconSiam is a luxury shopping complex where you can find high-end brands alongside a floating market-inspired food court. Further downstream is Asiatique, an open-air mall combining shops, restaurants, and an amusement park with a large Ferris wheel offering panoramic views of the river.

A Blend of Culture, History, and Modernity

The beauty of the Chao Phraya River Cruise is how it connects the old and new. On one side of the river, you’ll witness the timeless serenity of ancient temples and historical sites. On the other, towering skyscrapers and glittering malls reflect the energy of modern Bangkok. The river embodies the contrasts that define the city—a place where past and present flow seamlessly together.

As you glide along the water, the rhythm of life on the riverbanks unfolds before you. Vendors sell fruits and flowers from their boats, monks in saffron robes walk in meditation, and the hum of the city rises in the distance. It’s a sensory experience that offers a deeper appreciation of Bangkok’s diversity.

Practical Tips for Your River Cruise

Chao Phraya Cruise Price:

Prices vary depending on the type of cruise you choose. Chao Phraya Princess Cruise tickets for a Bangkok Dinner Cruise start at around 1,000-1,500 THB for adults. The Chao Phraya Dinner Cruise Rate depends on inclusions like meals and entertainment.

Chao Phraya Cruise Timing:

Public ferries operate throughout the day, while Chao Phraya Dinner Cruises typically depart around 7 PM, offering a two-hour evening experience. It’s best to check specific Chao Phraya Cruise Booking platforms for the exact timings.

Chao Phraya River Cruise Booking:

You can easily Book Chao Phraya Cruise tickets online through various travel platforms, or purchase Chao Phraya River Cruise Tickets at the dock. Make sure to book in advance, especially for popular Bangkok River Cruises during high season.

A Journey to Remember

A Chao Phraya River Cruise is more than just a scenic boat ride—it’s an immersion into the heart of Bangkok. From the tranquil temples to the buzzing city life, the river tells the story of Thailand’s capital in a way that few other experiences can. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a seasoned traveler, this journey will leave you with lasting memories of one of the world’s most vibrant cities. So, step aboard a Chao Phraya Princess and let the river guide you through the wonders of Bangkok.
