Day 10 Bangkok, Chinatown & Floating Market
Early morning we head to southern bus terminal via taxi, then bus to floating market at Damnoen Saduak. This place is located 104km from Bangkok, required 2 hours to reach and cost around 80Baht if by bus, or 150Baht by private van (can be found in victory station also). But we wanted to try the local bus system, so we head to southern bus terminal. The only thing was we arrived here at a wrong timing, it was raining since morning till noon time. Luckily, there are many canoes on the river but not as many as usual (sunny) day. We managed to try some noodle soup, local fruits and souvenir etc.
We took to noon private van back to Bangkok and reached around 2pm. Next destination was Chinatown (well, we ask the driver to drop us at Hualamphong station). Here, we visited Wat Traimit (3m tall, 5.5 tonne with solid gold Buddha with Chinese style building), Kuan Im Shrine (on opposite of the street, built on 1902) and Talat Mai (wholesale market place for most of Bangkok’s street hawkers).
At night, we go to Siam Paragon to meet Sze yee’s friend and dinner at Ban Khun Mae (means mother’s kitchen). After that, we wanted to go to Sirocco Sky Bar for the night view of Bangkok city, but we were not allow to enter as non appropriate outfit. Too bad… Suan Lum Night Bazaar, where is another night market.
