New Experience in Bangkok - Cruise in the Evening

Thanks for my friend's arrangement. I did have a fun and relaxing trip in Bangkok. My friend booked a cruise as the official kick off of our 5-day trip.

This cruise ship was so crowd. Relax, it's a water bus instead.


















Here is our cruise ship which is in traditional Thai style. The gal in pink was responsible for dancing and music instrument performance.

















View from our cruise ship. The site was probably built by the Chinese community as there are Chinese characters on the buildings.


















Wat Kanlayamit - The temple was served as a donation to the king from a Chinese nobleman around 200 years ago. The main building is in Thai style while others buildings in the site contains touches of Chinese style.



Wat Arun - The Khmeter-style tower of this royal temple was once the tallest building in Bangkok.

Besides of beautiful view along the Chao Phraya River, the local Thai food was good too.

Wat Rakhang - The name means bell temple since there are many bells insides.

Royal Grand Palace - the official residence of Thai king and also one of the most popular tourist sightseeing spots. The actual scene was much more beautiful than the photo as my camera is not good at night.
