Bangkok-Phuket-PP Island travels (Day2)

Day2: July 23,

Today we had to change hotels, is located in the Chao Praya River (Mae nanhe) Millenium Hilton Hotel in the West Bank, is to get up at seven o'clock in the morning, who knew a fast sleep, wash at nine o'clock is completed, go to the first floor of the hotel to eat breakfast buffet, very, very good, some are not, we are quite satisfied.

Temporary study on a route, looked at the map, the Hotel looks away from BTS Sukhumvit Line of Mo Chit (MU-7) station not far away, we decided to do in the past, then light Siam Center transfer Line to the Terminal Silom Saphan Taksin (Textron bridge) station, and then the ferry to the Mainland or a taxi to the Hilton Hotel, mainly want to look at the Bangkok along the street.

You can see on the map, Mo Chit station away from Bangkok's famous Chatuchak Weekend Market (figure plus weekend market) is very near, but unfortunately, this trip to Thailand has no chance to glimpse.

(Mo Chit station on the right side of the car, I feel a lot of cars are out, stop too intensive)

Follow route, we soon Saphan Taksin station to, it should be faster than a taxi, the Metro, look ahead is seen chaophaya River, Mae is also very muddy river, walk to the River, feeling very anxious, water

We can be found next to the river bank to the other side of the ferry terminal, ready to call back in the other side of the car, I didn't expect that should see Shangri-La, Hilton, Sheraton, Peninsula, the hotel's common Terminal, has its own exclusive ferry.

(Saphan Taksin station near the uncompleted, all balcony)

Wait 20 minutes or so, at the Hilton Hotel, the hotel's exclusive ferry away from the Terminal is not very far, about one o'clock in the afternoon we went to Hilton Hotel.

(Hilton Hotel location, near Mae Rio do Sul)

After the foreground registration, toss a half a day get your room key, a short rest, consult to Grand Palace (large Palace) and Wat Arun (Temple of dawn) look at this time is the afternoon, we did not eat, but eat too much in the morning, and not a little hungry.

Downstairs, the lobby attendant helped us call a cab and tell us the time to point to the Grand Palace, the length of time, let us look at the Temple of dawn, tomorrow at the Grand Palace, not only a taxi to the Temple of the dawn.

On the way to go to the Temple of dawn, the taxi driver words really much, unfortunately did not quite understand, our four English is very poor, but the driver of the pronunciation is very poor and made 51THB, gave him 70THB, this guy didn't give us a change, said Thank you directly to the find the change as a tip.

Dawn Temple of tickets is 50THB/person, we come to this time, tourists seldom, it should be said that the tourist season.

(Temple of dawn, looks gorgeous)

See some of the local people are very devout in the bow down, burning incense, is to take your shoes off.

The main tower of Temple of dawn is three layers, just open the following two-tier, but particularly steep slope basically fast 90 °, but a 30-year-old woman with left and right of foreign, wearing a pair of slippers with kids, hanging from the camera, it climbed up is impressed.

The Temple of dawn, follow the map to find, see China Town, should not be far away, but on the other side of the River, take the Cross-River Ferry (across the River Ferry), the cost is per person, to make it to the other shore 3.5THB, next to Wat Pho is (wofosi), wofosi, into the yard to yard inside do not need to pay to the houses look if you need sleeping Buddha to buy tickets, there is nothing to see, came out.

Go half a day, feel that China is still a distant Town, at the bus stop no stop sign indicates, find a Tuk-Tuk, but on four individuals are too crowded, but also less secure.

(Tuk-Tuk, however this relatively new)

In addition to the jewelry store and hotel nothing else is feeling so Chinese people love to eat, there's nothing to see in China Town.

And go N long road nor less, Northwest, Southeast, in accordance with the directions on the map, go to the direction of a path, go straight on, tired we all walk, just at the insist, at noon and didn't eat it is tired and hungry.

Heard about this on the road to the end of the Terminal, but in the way of the corner, I saw a similar versions, make rice noodles snacks, several people eat special fragrance, hitting up our appetite, really don't want to go, and each of them to a bowl, also at 7-11 next to the supermarket to buy four cans of beer, although not very tasty, but sharp chilli, eat or quite fragrant, weight too little, two eaten, alas, this meal can only be counted as a main meal before "appetizer".

Eaten after the Terminal more than 10 minutes just to wait for a ferry to the Sheraton Hotel, Hilton Hotel on the other side of the Sheraton Hotel, but need to River City next to the Sheraton Hotel at the Pier by Hilton exclusive ferry back.

At the Sheraton Hotel roadside saw a lay person, eat, and also many saw a fish, a thought in Central World eat fish, abdominal

The child also twitched, finish eating this up, then go back and a meal, not to spend a few bottles of beer, 630THB.

Back to the hotel quickly, at ten to eleven more chat, wash after went to bed.
