・This time, we will introduce you to the great outdoors of Bang Kajao, which is only 30 minutes away from central Bangkok! This is a recommended spot for those who are traveling in Bangkok and want to feel nature, but have limited time and money.✨ 🌟Cycling through nature🚴♂️ You can rent a bicycle for a day at Bang Kajao for about 80 baht! It's a lot of fun to ride around nature on a bicycle even on a scorching hot day with temperatures over 35 degrees🌱 ⚠️You will need a passport to rent a bicycle (copies are allowed, I showed mine and they just took a photo📸) 🌟There are also many places to rest✨ There are several stylish cafes in Bang Kajao! This time, I stopped by a gelato shop🍨 The store was air-conditioned, and I could choose from three flavors for only 45 baht, which was very reasonable! The taste was also very good 😋 📍https://maps.app.goo.gl/7YUwkbJh6WdDEfaM9?g_st=ic 🌟Floating market and park athletics! This time I went on a Monday, so the floating market was closed 😢 (I recommend going on weekends) However, the park is open every day and is rich in nature, so you can feed the catfish in the pond and do bird watching, which are rare experiences. Also, although I didn't go this time, there is something like an athletic park in Bang Kajao that children and families can enjoy together! ! ! 😁 🌟You can also watch fireflies at night 💡⠜ I heard that you can see fireflies at night...! If you want to see fireflies, I recommend staying overnight in Bang Kajao! (Because the return boat takes time) 🌟Easy access! It takes about 15 minutes by taxi or motorbike taxi from BTS Phrom Phong to Khlong Toei Port (about 50 baht). From there, take a boat for a few minutes for 20 baht one way and land at Bang Kajao 🚢 (cash only) You can also get to Bang Na Pier from BTS Bang Na Station in about 10 minutes 🚗³₃ Why not enjoy the great outdoors away from the hustle and bustle of Bangkok?😊 #Bangkok #Thailand #thailand #watphobangkok #Nature

#summerdream I had a chance to visit Phra Pradaeng, so I had the chance to pay homage to Lord Ganesha, the great king of success. Inside the Great Temple of the Gods, there are many sacred objects to pay homage to, such as Thao Wessuwan, Mother Sri Uma Devi, Mother Durga, Mother Lakshmi, Mother Kali, Mother Saraswati, Lord Shiva, and many more. It is a spiritual refuge for many people. Today, I had the chance to join the ceremony to pay homage to Lord Ganesha. The ceremony was attended by a Brahmin who told me everything and advised me on how to pay homage by passing under the legs of the father. The first round, I held my breath and told him about my worries. The second round, I breathed normally and made one wish. Another corner where there were a lot of people was the worship of Grandfather and Grandmother Sri Suttho. There were a lot of people. For those who are into spirituality, I highly recommend it at the Great Temple of Lord Ganesha, Bang Krachao.
