Damnoen Saduak Floating Market
Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, located southwest of Bangkok, is a rare example of a market that still retains the traditional Thai floating market atmosphere. With over a century of history, it has been a filming location for many movies, most notably one of the James Bond films. Local residents still live in stilt houses built along the waterways of Damnoen Saduak Floating Market. Most vendors are husband-and-wife teams, conducting their trade year-round on the river. Boats carrying vegetables, fruits, and small goods weave through the narrow waterways of the canals, lined with lush tropical trees. On board, local women, wearing distinctive straw hats, loudly hawk their wares. During peak season, these small merchant boats and passenger boats create traffic jams on the canals, forming a lively scene. Most visitors to Damnoen Saduak Floating Market choose to tour the market by boat, experiencing the fun of shopping from above. Of course, strolling through the covered walkways on the banks offers another unique experience, with vendors selling fruit there as well. If you see food that you like from the vendors on the boat, you can ask them to come ashore.Damnoen Saduak · 18.9km from Bang Phae

Phra Pathom Chedi
Phra Pathom Chedi is located inNakhon Pathom Province, 80 km west of Bangkok, Thailand. Phra Pathom Chedi was only 39 m high when first built. By 1853, the pagoda had nearly collapsed, and King Rama IV rebuilt it. The second pagoda was partially destroyed by heavy rain. It was later expanded by King Rama V, resulting in the current structure. The pagoda now consists of 3 pagodas built in different periods, one nested inside the other, a rare design in pagoda architectural art. The pagoda is 120 m high, with a 40 m spiral spire and a circular base 57 m in diameter. Viewed from a distance, the golden pagoda resembles a giant bell, looking spectacular against the backdrop of blue sky and white clouds. Inside the golden pagoda are a golden Buddha statue and a reclining Buddha, housing precious Buddha bones and relics. Additionally, the ashes of King Rama VI are interred within the pagoda. The base of the pagoda consists of two massive platforms. On the first platform where the main pagoda sits, there are two models of the "pagoda within a pagoda," introducing visitors to the history of the pagoda's two reconstructions. The platform is planted with many trees transplanted from Sri Lanka, creating a quiet environment with swaying shadows. There are 4 Buddhist halls on the second platform. The eastern hall is magnificent, housing a statue of Sakyamuni. Behind the statue, the wall features a mural of a tree, surrounded by patterns of dragon kings, hermits, and bird kings. The westernhall is the Reclining Buddha Hall. In front of the hall stands a tree that is 300–400 years old, a precious treasure of the hall. The southern and northern halls also have their own unique features. Additionally, 24 bell pavilions surround the pagoda, arranged in groups of 6 at equal intervals. Every year in mid-November of the Buddhist calendar, the Phra Pathom Chedi Festival is held on the square where the golden pagoda is located. At that time, devotees, merchants, and tourists from all over come not only to worship but also to trade goods and watch cultural performances.Nakhon Pathom · 17.5km from Bang Phae

Maeklong Railway Market
Maeklong Railway Market is a traditional open-air market situated directly along an active railway. It extends along both sides of the tracks with densely packed stalls, primarily selling fresh vegetables, fruits, fish, seafood, meat, dried goods, and local daily food, serving both local residents and tourists from all over. A notable feature here is that trains pass directly between the stalls. When a train approaches, vendors quickly retract the awnings extending over the tracks and move goods away from the tracks. After the train slowly passes, they put the goods back, unfold the awnings, and continue their daily business. It is adjacent to Maeklong Railway Station, and you can browse most of the stalls by walking along the tracks.Mueang Samut Songkhram · 31.5km from Bang Phae

Rajadamnern Muay Thai Stadium
Rajadamnern Muay Thai Stadium is a highly prestigious professional Muay Thai venue in Bangkok, regarded alongside Lumpinee Stadium as one of Thailand's two main modern Muay Thai arenas. The stadium began construction in 1941 but was halted due to material shortages during World War II, resuming after the war and hosting its first match only by the end of 1945. Initially an open-air venue without a roof, it was fitted with a concrete roof in 1951 and has undergone multiple renovations and upgrades since. Today, it stands as a modern enclosed stadium, embodying a condensed history of Thailand's professional Muay Thai. The gym hosts frequent matches year-round. On fight days, professional fighters from across Thailand compete here for the gym's own rankings and championship titles. Unlike performance-oriented bouts for travelers, these are real fights that count toward professional records: fighters wear mongkon headbands and perform ritual dances to traditional music before the match—the elaborate wai khru ceremony is worth arriving early to witness. During fights, every sweep kick and knee strike lands with full force in high-intensity clashes, so be mentally prepared. Each seating area offers a distinct experience—ringside seats provide close-up action, while the upper stands are packed with local veteran fans who roar with every powerful hit, creating waves of cheers that let you experience Muay Thai in its rawest form.Bangkok · 58.8km from Bang Phae
Chao Phraya River
The Chao Phraya River is the customary name used by the Chinese community for the river known in Thai as "Chao Phraya." The term "Chao Phraya" originates from Thai, literally meaning "mother of waters," while its Thai name is often translated as "river of kings," both reflecting the river's significance in Thailand. It originates in the northern mountains of Thailand, flows south through the central plains, passes the ancient capital of Ayutthaya, and runs through the heart of Bangkok before emptying into the Gulf of Thailand. Including its upstream tributaries, it stretches over 1,000 km. Bangkok grew alongside this river, once crisscrossed by waterways and dubbed the "Venice of the East." Even today, the Chao Phraya River remains a vital waterway for local transportation and daily life. Taking a cruise is a classic way to explore the river. By day, the water bustles with public ferries, cargo boats, and crossings, resembling a watery highway for Bangkok residents, while traditional floating markets have mostly relocated to tributaries. Along the river, historic landmarks like the Grand Palace, Wat Pho, and Wat Arun glide past, juxtaposed with modern malls like ICONSIAM across the water. A short ferry ride from Tha Tian Pier leads to Wat Arun on the opposite bank. At night, the river transforms as lights illuminate both shores, with Wat Arun's porcelain-clad spires shimmering softly. Sightseeing and dinner cruises set sail, offering a distinctly different atmosphere from the land-based experience. If timing allows, an evening cruise lets you witness both the sunset and the city lights, capturing two faces of the river in one trip. △Sparkling Chao Phraya River △Enchanting night view at Chao Phraya RiverBangkok · 56.5km from Bang Phae

It's a very good wax figure. There are always good promotions. The entrance fee starts at 100 baht and up. There are also beautiful Thai costumes for rent, in case anyone wants to get into the atmosphere. Most of the figures here are important Thai people and the place simulates Thainess.

Maeklong Railway Market is one of Thailand's most unique markets, and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys novel experiences. My first visit, I was captivated by the unique spectacle: vendors laid out their wares alongside the tracks, displaying a vibrant market scene of fresh fruits, vegetables, and seafood. When the train whistled, the vendors quickly tucked away their awnings and merchandise, only to return to their original positions after the train passed. The entire process was fluid and orderly, a truly remarkable sight. This "train passing through the market" spectacle is rare, offering a glimpse into the local lifestyle while also being filled with surprises and fun.

Overall, it was pretty good, the food was decent, and my parents were quite satisfied. The Unique isn't very big, but you can see the luxury of other larger ships while sitting on it. I think the price-performance ratio is quite good.

Every Saturday and Sunday of the month, Photharam Beach hosts a walking street market along the embankment. There are many shops, lots of food, and live music. Watching the sunset at Photharam Beach in the evening is also incredibly beautiful.

We had such a fun evening on the White Orchid dinner cruise! Even though it rained, the service was still excellent. The food selection wasn’t huge, but everything we tried was delicious. There was plenty of entertainment, with singing and shows throughout the evening, and we even got invited to join in the dancing! A lively, memorable experience and definitely worth it.
