Bangkok's Floating Market
Posted by yv on 9:23 PM
New Floating MarAlthough it's known as Bangkok's floating market the Damnoen Saduak floating market is actually about 100 kilometers Southwest of Bangkok in Ratchaburi Province. If, like me, you've seen many pictures of people selling many colorful fruits and vegetables on the open waters of the canals then this has been on your list to see while in Bangkok. Although there are many different floating markets to be seen around Thailand, Damnoen Saduak floating market is the oldest and largest of them.

Penang is undoubtedly famous for its beautiful temples. If you walk around the streets of Penang you will immediately notice many temples with magnificent design and unique architecture. One of these many beautiful Penang temples is the famous Wat Chayamangkalaram, better known as the Penang Thai Temple, which is the only Thai temple in the whole of Penang. This Penang temple is famous for its gigantic reclining Buddha statue residing within the temple hall.

Wat Arun Thailand
Posted by yv on 4:03 PM
Wat Arun is a little unusual as it's really the only major tourist attraction on the Thonburi side of the river. It is open every day from 8.30am to 5.30pm. Officially, entrance to the Wat is 20B and the ferry crossing is 2B. Sometimes if you walk around the Wat grounds, you will be requested for a donation (with a book showing how everyone else gave 100B/200B), and sometimes the staff at the pier will cite some excuse and charge another 10B or so to let you through.
Other attractions fairly easy to reach from here are Wat Pho, Wat Phra Kaew, the National Museum, Chinatown the Ko Rattanakosin area, and the Banglamphu district.
