Since 1967, Thailand's Government Savings Bank has been serving the thousands of Bangkok residents who live along the city's busy Chao Praya River and its connecting canals by bringing the bank to them. On a boat.
We sent a camera and writer out with the bank's two boats for the day to check out this unique personalized service. Sure beats having to hunt for an ATM.
