Bangkok-Phuket PP8 day tours detailed record 3. Bangkok next day

12 February (Sunday)

Today going to play a number of famous attractions: lying Buddha Temple (WAT PHO), Royal (Royal Palace, THE GRAND PALACE includes Jade Buddha Temple), Dawn Temple (WAT ARUN), a night to go to purchase the weekend market.

A hard day.

Departure from the hotel, walking through Buddha, then go for a brief period, that is, there is a light rail station (Rajdamri Road Station), take to the end station Saphan Taksin, got to the charming River cruise of terminus.

You can evaluate yourself today to take light rail's money (price in points in the map), if more than 100 baht a person, you can buy a day ticket for light rail (One-day Pass), it is worthwhile to point.

To the Terminal, we can look at the left a big point of terminals is available to foreign tourists sit in the cruise terminal, the right one is for people to sit in the public transport of the ferry.

Dock site in fact are the same. In fact, there's no need to sit on cruise ships, no need to buy a boat ticket for 1 (100 Baht/person) because is really not so much money. But some people will cruise the Advisory Department strongly recommend to you to buy 1 ticket, do not know who such as we would buy myself:) you ignore him, walk to any of the dock and so the boat came up, jump, and so naturally the conductor to departure, you have to go to which terminal you buy much. To China town in Terminal 5, the flower market 6, to the Grand Palace wofosi No. 8, to rely on the road No. 13 (but still have some way of).

We went straight to no. 8.

The boat you don't need to find a way, because there are thousands of foreigners go there to, you just follow the crowd walked the OK.

Wofosi and Grand Palace side by side, turning to the right is the entrance to wofosi left around a large section of the wall to into the Grand Palace, it is recommended that you first play lying Buddha Temple.

Wofosi not tickets, go to play content that is not to say that we play a natural.

In Thailand, into the Central Hall of the temple is to take off my shoes and cannot go in the hat, but dress doesn't seem to say so on the Raiders, both wofosi or Grand Palace, I saw a sleeveless shirt, shirt is so into the sling. However it is best to wear a pair of decent point socks, I see a Chinese person look like tourists, take off shoes socks two followed is broken big hole, heels dew in the full view is losing face.

Play wofosi, along the Grand Palace of white walls to embark on a long, got to the gate.

Along the way, there will be some look like good guys burst you HELLO, ask you where to go, don't ignore it. Grand Palace foreign tourists to buy tickets, 250 baht/person, including the Jade Buddha Temple of tickets. Local people don't have to buy a ticket, it's a bit unfair. Entrance free tourist map, staff bawled let everybody take, if you like what people use which hailed the State language to you, we first speak Japanese, see our no response then say "Chinese here", HA HA, very little meaning. Take the Chinese tourist map is very easy, and look at the road, there are introduced, very good.

Everyone down to play, hard to take pictures.

Large Palace, many places are closed, you cannot get in, you can only see the outside. However it is Thailand's weather is not conducive to tour in such hot weather, physical exertion and soon, so be sure to remember to bring a big bottle of water or fruit juice, timely replenishment. Thailand's tourist attractions, not like China, everywhere has a store, you can buy all over the water. Like the Grand Palace, we play in a circle, only the export is a rest in a store, you can have a drink.

Out from the Grand Palace has been noon, near many bars, restaurants, we just found a home for a lunch.

Mr. ate a fork cooking (we call it a fork cooking, as it did in respect of pork and pork), I had a white chopped chicken and (of course we take the name), taste and our side difference is not too much. How much did remember, anyway, has dozens of baht. In the vicinity of someone trying to sell to tourists constantly "water markets", said about an hour, take you to a charming River side swimming a circle, the famous water market there. We'd love to, but lack of time, had to do it.

Back to the Terminal, there is also a ferry boat, is to get you off the river side to the other side of the River.

We are going to the Temple of the dawn of the river there to sit on. 3 baht/person, very simple ferry. A few minutes.

The main temple of the dawn is several pretty big stupa, most centres to receive tickets 20 baht/person, but it seems only to aliens accepted.

Inside you can see, the largest stupa can only be climbed for the first layer, and then to have stairs but no visitors. This makes us very happy, because the Tower staircase is high and steep, but we have played out in the Sun.

Then ferry back, we'll go back to the terminus, because we need to get to the weekend market! can't go too late, so hurry.

When you sit still sit to the light rail, but this time in SIAM station, this is a transit point, you can transfer to another light rail line.

Transfer is very easy, just down the side of the car and jumped on the opposite side of the car, on the one platform. It is convenient that the transfer station than Shanghai knows how much convenience. After the transfer has been sitting on earth station on your left. Also follow the flow of people, there are thousands of foreigners there are countless locals toward the weekend market.

The market really is a lot of Ah, and Nanjing jingqiao market, sell anything, even see selling vegetables.

However the market is very simple, not like the Golden Bridge market have building, is worn a little flat.

If you want to go over is not possible.

You can only pick up what I want to see. This market does not have clear business district, just opposite of the set. The price is relatively cheap, but be sure to do so, of course, not like the us down the half band. For example, I bought a JIRead product, Thai silk do chopstick, inside a pair of chopsticks, a pack of six pair of chopsticks, offer 70 baht a package, we bought a package, last a total of 11 500 baht. It was the size of an elephant head, price 350 baht a, we bought 2, 550 baht transactions. A 50 cm tall wood Thai woman, 280 baht also to 200 baht, a Thai silk Thai Pearl, approximately 300 baht also to 200 baht, also bought Thai silk cushion set 2, Thai silk table flag 1, Thai style pattern of small handkerchief 20, wooden framed shiny decorative wooden box, 5 package Thailand small vessel on Thailand perfume of small souvenirs. Bargaining is an art, it depends on individual skill, our power is very general.

Go to the market more than before to change some money, if you have enough money, the market has a Bangkok Bank's currency exchange point, the exchange rate is also good to go point road, because the market is very large.

Summing up, or it's cheap, so be sure to buy enough, especially to a co-worker, friend with lots of souvenirs, be sure to buy more, to Phuket, don't be such a good price. We returned home, I felt very sorry that for fear of crime, many things didn't buy, now that I think a lot of regret.

Back to the hotel, exhausted, was sleeping.
