#Bangkok Itinerary
Bangkok, Thailand is a world-famous tourist resort city. Every day, thousands of tourists come to Bangkok for sightseeing and vacation. The Chao Phraya River is the mother river of Bangkok and even the whole of Thailand. There are many attractions gathered along the Chao Phraya River. This time I will introduce a one-day tour of the floating markets and temples along the Chao Phraya River. All attractions in the itinerary are free to visit and take photos📸, no tickets are required. You need to take off your shoes when entering the main temple building.
Itinerary introduction: First take public transportation or taxi to Opposite Wat Tha Phra ตรงข้ามวัดท่าพระ. After getting off the bus, walk about one kilometer to the first attraction: Khlong Bang Luang Floating Market ตลาดชุมชนริมคลองบางหลวง. This is the most famous artistic floating market in Bangkok. This floating market along the Chao Phraya River is full of artistic atmosphere and cultural and creative style. There are many handicraft shops in the market. Whether you are interested in handicrafts or not, you can participate in experience activities such as painting and beading to make the journey more interactive. There are also merchants selling huge colorful cereal circles by the river, which are not for human consumption but for feeding fish. Watching the fat fish in the river fighting for food is a vivid and interesting scene, and the bright colors of the colorful cereal circles make people want to try them. In addition to the handicraft experience, there are also many specialty snack shops and beverage stalls in the market. If you are tired of walking, you may want to find a seat by the river, sit down, enjoy local food, and quietly feel the gentle flow of the Chao Phraya River. The houses on the water around the market still retain their original appearance, and it seems that there are still residents living here. Whether it is daytime or sunset, this is a great place to take photos, and every shot is full of local flavor. Khlong Bang Luang Floating Market (Art House) is a great place to slow down and immerse yourself in Bangkok's art culture and riverside life. Whether you want to experience the cultural and creative atmosphere or experience the local characteristics, you can find your own memories of Bangkok here. After visiting the floating market, walk forward to the next attraction: Wat Khuhasawan Worawiharn วัดคูหาสวรรค์วรวิหาร. The temple is built on the banks of the Chao Phraya River, offering a view of the beautiful scenery of the river. The temple was built in the Ayutthaya era in the early Siamese dynasty. It has gone through hundreds of years of history. It is a veritable historical monument temple and a third-level royal temple. The temple building is tall and majestic, and the exterior decorative structure is full of Siamese cultural and artistic style design. It is exquisite and photogenic. After visiting this temple, walk about 500 meters forward and you will arrive at another royal ancient temple attraction: Wat Bot Ittharasanpetchวัดโบสถ์อินทรสารเพชร. The temple is thought to have been built towards the end of the Ayutthaya period, in 1767, and is built in the shape of a boat, with a large Buddha statue cast entirely in black bronze, believed to have been made by Laotian craftsmen. That is, he has a small face and a big body, and is a Buddha statue in a meditating posture. At the entrance of the small shrine, it was popular during the Ayutthaya period to build a large Buddha statue and a shrine to cover the statue. Very suitable for taking photos📸. There are not many tourists in the temple, it is quiet and peaceful, very suitable for a person to visit slowly and take pictures📸.
