Leisurely Journey: 25-28 June 2025
Although I have been to Bangkok many times, I still have many firsts on this trip...
🏨: First time staying at Grande Center Point Hotel Ploenchit
💞Reason for recommendation: Super convenient location near BTS, walk to the Four Faced Buddha is only 10-15 minutes, if you do not want to walk can take a stop to Chit Lom, and the hotel has recently Hong Kong people love Let's Relax😌
🗓️Itinerary: Day 1
No arrangement too far trip, arrived at the hotel is early, check in means to 1400 to be able to go to the room, but fortunately can be early to the room, into the room the first feeling is comfortable, light, clean and small terrace, convenient for smokers🤭
📍First stop: First to the recently very hot EM business district
Em Quartier, Emporium and EmSphere
BTS is very convenient to arrive, one mind is to see really such as what travel experts, celebrities said so attractive, but I can sincerely tell you "plain" is a very large shopping mall, Em Quartier so-called air garden is the mall from the ground to the top planted a lot of green plants 😑 , there are many restaurants to choose from, but if you want to go to famous restaurants 🛍 or dining 🍽 why not Central World or Siam Paragon more convenient choices are also many, everything.
📍The second stop is to visit the night market, although there are many large and small night markets in Bangkok I have walked, but so far the more preferred is Jodd Fair Market.
💞Reason for recommendation: relatively new larger, neatly arranged, cleaner place, separate different areas operation, many food choices, currently very hot volcano ribs, all kinds of seafood, fruit, everything, want to buy souvenirs 🎁 also many local creation handicrafts, but also can go to the bar 🍺 relax, live band 🎶, good atmosphere
🗓️Itinerary: Day 2
📍First stop: 𨗴 Lo Ancient City
Had an early lunch at Central World and started off, the route was simple, take the BTS line all the way to the end station Kheha station (E23)
Walk to the roadside at Exit 3 and you can see many double-row seat cars of No. 36. Tell the driver that you have to get to Li Luo Ancient Town and it's ok. The fare is 20 THB😉 10-15 minutes will reach the park, because I have bought tickets online before, so to the ticket exchange office to exchange tickets is ok (recommended to buy tickets online is cheaper) The counter sister will hand out a map of the park, and very keen to explain to you where the popular photo spots, see the map park is really very big 😆 suggest interested friends best to rent a Golf car outside the center 🛺 1 hour TH 1 hour THB is relatively cheap, or not afraid of the scorching sun like sports friends can also rent 🚲, but I because no license plate and no sense of direction so the counter sister suggested I join the sightseeing car, only 80 THB to have 2 hours of service, driver uncle along the way will also explain, although Thai mixed with English 😅
Every time you get to a popular photo spot, you can get off the car and walk to take pictures, 80 THB is seriously worth it, but it is really not recommended to explore on foot, the park is really big, after walking your feet should not work😖
📍Stop 2: Night Tour of the Chao Phraya River (Purchase tickets on the website in advance, you will receive all information after confirmation)
From reading online that there are many options for night cruises on the Chao Phraya River, I chose THE LUXURY WHITE, because it only officially launched in December 24, using Grab call before departure 🚗To ICONSIAM, because I only on in 2015🛳, 1745 from the hotel, I thought I had time to walk ICONSIAM, but I didn't know that I got out of the hotel🚗 to the neighborhood and started to be jammed with traffic🐌, watch the time minute by minute So over ... I was anxious, the driver uncle also felt my uneasy mood, finally walked out of the neighborhood and looked at the watch was 1930, the driver uncle immediately lifted the sea up 🏎 speed forward, arrived at ICONSIAM is 1945, I still have to go Pier 4 to exchange tickets, but because the entrance is inside the Food Court so very crowded, I had to run to ask secur brother, I do not know if secur brother saw me very anxious, really very grateful 🙏🏻 he actually took me to run to Pier 4 to exchange tickets, I can successfully 🛳, really first night trip to the Mekong River, 🛳 there is a live band, can slowly enjoy the scenery on both sides.
🗓️Itinerary: Day 3
Because the weather was not as expected 😭😭 it was raining heavily, the water market that I originally wanted to sit 🎡 all failed, I had to switch to 🛍
📍First stop: Central World
I believe you are not strangers, but there is a shop still want to recommend to you, you buy aromatherapy usually go to Karmakamet although more choices, but because too many choices into the store feel very turbid smell, I will recommend you to the 2nd floor of antidotes, although only a counter selling aromatherapy supplies, but staff relatively nice ❤️ price is also reasonable.
📍Second stop: Nana Night Market
As lively as ever, after dinner returned to the hotel, because booked Let's Relax😌, not too much surprise, I do not know if because the hotel guest also gave two oil massage😊
🗓️Itinerary: Day 4
Check out early to the airport again 🛍, now many cosmetics and perfumes within duty free have 30% discount 👍🏻 I certainly will not miss.
👋🏻 👋🏻 Bangkok ❤️❤️
