Wat Samphran - incredible building 🐉

40 kilometers from the center of Bangkok is one of the most incredible buildings that I have seen in my life - a house that is wrapped around a huge dragon. This building looks just incredible and immediately amazes the imagination. This place is called Wat Samphran and there is a Buddhist temple inside the dragon. And in the area around you can find many interesting statues and unusual buildings. Tips for visiting: entrance to the temple is absolutely free, but you can donate money for its needs. It is also necessary to dress appropriately. And of course, get ready for an incredible adventure! #thailand #bangkok #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer #architecture

Wat Sam Phran

It is also know as the Dragon Temple because of the life-sized dragon wrapped around the temple. There are still many tourists coming here even it is already outside Bangkok. This is in Nakhon Pathom, stop by when you will go to Damnoen Saduak floating market. There is also a wishing well where you can choose your wish and if you can hit it with a coin it is said that it will be granted. Good luck. #temple #adventure #thailand

Bubble in the Forest- Bangkok Thailand

If your in Thailand. Visit this unique cafe and resto in Bangkok. Its 30 mins away from the city thru taxi/car. Enjoy their delicious foods with this amazing mini maldives cottage that are instagrammable worthy. 😍👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻#bubbleintheforest #Bangkok #Thailand #cafe #travelasia #southeastasia

#bangkoktrip Bubble in the Forest is a serene cafe located 50 minutes away from Sukumvhit 8. The unique themed cafe is an amazing place to unwind and get away from the hustle of the city. Although we went after dark, the best time to visit would be around sunset so you can enjoy the spectacular views of the cafe. Although it may take some to get there, it's definitely worth a visit. Do keep in mind though that they don't accept cards. Only cash. #falltrip #food #cafe

A beautiful place to visit, even though it's far, but worth it for relaxation, is like a mini-Maldives in design. Immersing yourself in the local culture and cuisine adds to the experience.

After The Rain Cage - An Instaworthy Cafe

#bangkoktrip #thailand #cafe #foodie #foodhunt #tripblazers #picturesqueview #bangkok One cafe that you definitely have to visit is called after the rain cafe and gallery located at 45 Song Khanong, Sam Phran District, Nakhon Pathom 73210, Thailand, opens daily except Mondays. This is one of the many unique cafe, a instaworthy one for sure where you will be able to dine infront of the waterways while enjoying the lush greenery and see fishes swimming below you. One most interesting thing about this cafe, if you soend more then 250baht per person, you are able to take the boat ride and row yourself around the waterways, tiring but fun! Food here was also surpsingly good but of course the prices here are abit more expensive. But hey, it's the experience and the uniqueness of this cafe.

I get to row the boat 🤩

If you are going Bangkok soon, you MUST definitely visit After the Rain Coffee & Gallery! You should heard of Bubble in the forest, and if you are going there you should make a visit to after the rain too as it’s quite near! So don’t waste the travelling time and visit 2 cafes 🤩 
I actually rented a driver for a day to bring us from our hotel -> Bubble in the forest -> After the rain -> Union Mall -> Jeh O -> Jodd Fairs -> hotel as it’s more convenient since the cafes are a bit far out and we scared we can’t get a grab back. 
Food: The food was not bad! 🤭 We ordered Peach Soda, Pink Lemonade, Mango Sticky Rice & Pork Neck butterfly pea rice to share since we already ate at BITF 🫶🏻 
There were 2 main big boats for you to take pictures and you get to row the boat around that area or you can also row the smaller boat to go one big round around the place🤣 it was quite tiring to already row the boat to take the picture area but the photos were so worth it! There was also a swing! Really love this place omg, you should definitely visit especially if you are also visiting BITF already! 
Price $: 450 Baht (~$18) for everything

A very natural cafe with lots of plants. The After the Rain Coffe and Gallery located about 45 minutes away from Bangkok.

The Dragon Buddhist Temple

#bangkoktrip #thailand #bangkok #temple #watsamphran #cultural Wat Sam Phran is a Buddhist Temple that has its uniqueness from the other temples in Bangkok. This temple has a dragon wrapped around the entire building and you have to walk up the temple via the inside of the dragon. It's a long walk almost up to 10-12 story high, and you are also required to take off your shoes. Entrance is free and you are also able to make donations or purchase offerings and head to the top of the temple. If not, you are able to walk up to catch a glimpse of the amazing view of the shrroind of wat Sam phran. The surrounding area of the temple has also soke unique sculptures like a wooden ship out fallen out of yhe sky and landed right next to wat Sam phran, and a huge turtle like sculpture as well. An interesting temple close to Bangkok and it's worth it to drop by for a visit.

Wat Samphran, the Dragon Temple 🐉

#fallishere An hour away from Bangkok lies Wat Samphran, a temple housing a 17-storey rose-coloured tower that extends 80 metres into the sky. What’s most eye catching about Wat Samphran is a massive dragon 🐉 encircling the circular tower, which was also what drew me to visit it. Within minutes after removing our shoes, we ascended 16 storeys from ground level, equivalent to the 16 levels of heaven in Buddhism, and emerged at the very top of the tower in front of the dragon’s open mouth, feeling triumphant but hot as hell 🥵

The Dragon Temple In Bangkok

#bangkok​ #temple #sightseeing #mustvisit #sculpture #thailand The famous dragon temple is located about 40km west of Bangkok, most people here either take a tour or even self drive is definitely possible! The Dragon Temple also called Wat Samphran is located in Amphoe Sam Phran that is a 17 story tower that extends up into the sky and by the side of it is a temple. There are many sculptures here and if you wanna head up to the top, you will be able to to go only on the weekend. I have to say it is one unique temple for sure!
