Next stop, the Flower Market

The Bangkok Flower Market is the biggest fresh flower market in Bangkok. The market is named “Pak-Khlong Ta-Lad,” which means “the market at the mount of the canal.” It is open around the clock every day. Every night, late at night and early in the morning, there are varieties of fresh flowers delivered from all parts of Thailand here. The flower market looks like only flowers, but in fact it is full of things from the local area, such as vegetables, cooking ingredients, and seasonal Thai fruits. Then, every second here always looks busy.

Wat Pho is a breathtaking complex that houses the famous and impressive Reclining Buddha and the birthplace of Traditional Thai Massage. 

After that, go to the Royal Grand Palace and Emerald Buddha Temple.

The Royal Grand Palace, the jewel in Bangkok’s architectural crown, was built in 1782 AD. The former royal residences of King Rama I, II, III, and IV. It is still used for royal and state ceremonies.

In the same compound-located the most frequently visited by foreign tourists and locals, “the Emerald Buddha Temple,” which houses the most highly revered Buddha Image carved from one piece of jade.

Inside, it is so richly and intricately decorated that once entering, you will feel as if you were in the “City of Angels”. 

After that, go for lunch.

Lunch is at a local Restaurant.

After lunch, hop on a long-tail boat-dubed-“James Bond boat” because it got famous from the James Bond 007 movie “The Man with the Golden Gun,” in which some sections were filmed in Thailand.

Bangkok was once named the “Venice of the East” because there was canal net work that has been used for daily day lives.

Also, some of the Khlongs are still used as the waterway network for Bangkok transportation.
