Hi lovelies, I know this is a super overdue post. You might be wondering why I am writing this post especially when this trip has been quite a while. I guess its the holiday season now where everyone is jetting off or planning for their next upcoming holiday because I have got requests from readers as well as friends and colleagues asking me about my Bangkok trip and I thought I would pen it down. After all, pictures and other information such as address put together are easier to comprehend.

On the second day in Bangkok, we left Abloom Apartments rather early, about 8 plus right after we had our breakfast in Abloom cafe within the premises of Abloom Apartments itself. I will try and find pictures of our room and do a review on Abloom Apartments soon. Its really a nice place to stay at especially for families if you are heading to Bangkok.

The driver suggested that we visit Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, 100km southwest of Bangkok. I will suggest getting there early to avoid traffic jams and crowds as it is one of the more popular tourist attractions in Bangkok.

Damnoen Saduak Floating Market

Damnoen Saduak,
Ratchaburi 70130,
Thailand

Opening hours: 9am - 12pm

I think we paid about SGD $45 or $47 each for the boat ride which is about 1 hour. Its not exactly cheap but I think its quite worthwhile if its your first trip to Bangkok and if you would want to experience the local culture and charming sights. 

Having said that, allow me to take your on a virtual tour of the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market. 

There are families living at the bank of the river, commonly known as  水上人家 in Chinese.

Most Thais are Buddhists so its a common sight to see them offering prayers to four-faced Buddha either at home, at temples or even on the streets.

The boat ride includes a visit to the sugar farm. They had like this 'bridge' which looked so fragile. I was afraid to even stand on it, much less cross it but to my surprise, its actually quite sturdy.

Reached Paew boat service.

Wat Pho (Temple of the Reclining Buddha) วัดโพธิ์
Na Phra Lan Road, Old City (Rattanakosin)

Entrance fee: 100 baht
Opening hours: 8am - 6.30pm

There was a very bad jam on our way back so instead of waiting for the traffic to clear, we decided to alight near Wongwian Yai BTS station and take the BTS to Siam BTS station (nearest BTS station to Siam Paragon) to have dinner there.
