How amazing is Amazing Thailand?!

The "amazing" part of Amazing Thailand is that every trip to Thailand offers a different experience and feeling. This 7-day itinerary takes Bangkok as the center and extends outwards. Bangkok's first stop is Songwat, located between Chinatown's back alley and the Chao Phraya River. It is said to be one of the best communities in the world. Songwat is one of the oldest trading areas in Bangkok. Today, old shops, Nanyang-style buildings, and street art coexist and thrive, creating a unique street atmosphere. The towering red giant swing is a landmark of Bangkok's old town. Opposite is Wat Suthat ThepWararam, one of the ten royal temples in Bangkok and a popular off-the-beaten-path destination in recent years. After saying goodbye to the giant swing, we walk to Mont NomSod, a popular milk bread shop in Bangkok. Long queues are common. Various flavors of milk are paired with toast with different sauces. No wonder it's so popular, the taste is really good. To experience the Mekong River up close, Asiatique The Riverfront, Bangkok's Ferris wheel night market, is in a prime location. While enjoying the scenery, it is also a large shopping destination, which is quite easy to navigate. Located on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok, Wat Arun Ratchawararam Ratchawaramahawihan is one of the famous royal temples in Thailand. It is known as the "Eiffel Tower of Bangkok" and was built to commemorate King Taksin, the 41st monarch of Thailand and a hero of Chinese descent. Wat Arun Ratchawararam Ratchawaramahawihan consists of a towering main pagoda and five smaller pagodas. The pagoda is decorated with colorful glass and porcelain, which shines brightly in the sunlight. Leaving Bangkok, we first arrive at Chanthaburi Province, which is about three and a half hours' drive east of Bangkok. Along the way, the Amazon Cafe at the rest stop is very eye-catching. Stop by for a cup of coffee, it's very comfortable. On the road, you will encounter large areas of durian, mangosteen, and rubber plantations, which are also regional landscapes. Chanthaburi is an ancient city. It is known as the "Land of Fruits", "City of Gems", and "City of the Moon". After breakfast, we say goodbye to Peggy's Cove Hotel and head towards the Blue Temple. On the way, the Nenam Phaya viewpoint offers stunning views of the sea and sky. The Catholic Church has a rich history. It is a landmark of Chanthaburi, the largest Catholic Church in Thailand, and the only statue of the Virgin Mary in the world inlaid with gemstones. The total weight of the gemstones exceeds 20,000 carats. The Blue Temple is solemn and elegant, with blue and white as its main colors. Our last stop in Chanthaburi Province is the old town and the floating community. Along the streets are shops of all sizes, with owners sitting at the door. Occasionally, cars and motorcycles pass by, creating a lazy atmosphere. There is also a popular snack shop on this street. It is said that the noodles here are the best in the area☝️We follow the local custom and join the crowd slowly, as if entering a bygone era. Leaving Chanthaburi Province, we arrive in Rayong, which is about an hour's drive away. The Rayong Marriott Hotel is located by the sea. The semi-open lobby brings in the natural wind, carrying the scent of the sea. It's very comfortable, and the fatigue of the journey disappears instantly. The room's terrace offers a direct view of the sea, with a beautiful view that lifts your spirits. We booked a Thai spa at the hotel. Before the massage, the therapist will first understand your physical condition and needs. After an hour of massage, you will feel refreshed and energized. After a good night's sleep and a hearty breakfast, we continue our journey, with options for a golden grassland hike or a boat ride through the ecological mangrove forest. It's a day of close contact with nature! Another water activity on this trip is a sampan ride in Chanthaburi. The coach will train you on the movements beforehand. After trying it yourself, you'll find that it's not that difficult! Remember, balance is the key! At the end of the itinerary, we return to Bangkok. Siam Premium Outlets Bangkok is only a ten-minute drive from Suvarnabhumi International Airport🚗 Shopping near the end of your trip is a great idea🛍️This is Thailand's premier outlet and shopping center, with a wide range of brands. Recently, there are many choices of sportswear with great discounts, making it affordable and easy to shop💰 In addition to shopping, there is also an outdoor children's playground decorated with colors🛝Whether you're traveling with friends👭or family, you'll have a great time! Highly recommended! We flew Thai Airways both ways. The outbound flight was in the morning, arriving in Bangkok a few hours later. Lunch was not delayed at all. The flight was also relaxing and enjoyable. First of all, the seats in the cabin are very spacious, and each seat is equipped with an entertainment screen. There are plenty of movies, TV shows, documentaries, and games to choose from. The airplane food is really good. There are two choices: curry noodles or egg rolls. My friend couldn't get enough of it and ordered another one. It's really delicious😋
