Walking, you can forget everything for awhile and concentrate on your way.
Walking, take you to meet new friends
Walking, bring you new experiences even you lost the way
Let's walk.

Tanapat is a good name and this is the name of my younger sister with nick name Fon. She who spend and concentrate on her work and her duty as the first priority. She works hard, she laugh less but actually her soul crying for time to relax. So, to pamper her soul I took her out from the box and lead her on the road in Bangkok on Sunday.

Sunday is a good day for walking out in Bangkok because it is holiday so people wake up late then everywhere still not crowded in the morning. So, we started our trip at 7am and the meeting point is one of the most beautiful branch of Starbuck in Thailand located in Langsuan area.

7.30 we all 4 are ready to start the trip. We took taxi from Langsuan to Pak Klong Talad (flower market) because today is Sunday so the road are ours so it should be only 20 minutes we can reach to the market. 

But with the miscommunication with taxi driver. He understood that we want to go to Pak Klong Talad 2 which located another side of Chao Phraya River. That one is the new place for wholesales flower but not for tourist only for retails shops go there to buy flower for their shop. Then our tour started with crossed the river to Thonburi and then crossed back again hahaha.

Anyway, lost for next route. Finally, we reach to Pak Klong Talad.

Actually, I like white lotus more than pink. But today pink lotus also beautiful so Fon took pink one.

We started walking from the beginning of the market. Actually, the market open after midnight so at this time which is 8.30am many shops already closed. But we still see many shop for garlands and flower for people go to temple.

I like this walk way along the river. It very good for people walking and enjoy river view and there are only walk and bicycle allow on the area which is good for people who live there.

This is the place which Fon really want to come.

14.00: We left the temple and took shuttle long tail boat to another Wat Arun. But this time we did not get in to the chedi area because we just want to connect another shuttle boat cross the river to Bangkok side because there is no public pier in front of Wat Kanlayanamit.

The boat fare is only THB 4/person (from Wat Arun to Bangkok side) and from Wat Kanlayanamit to Wat Arun is THB 30/person
