Welcome Set here is truly impressive. After a tiring walk, the refreshing butterfly pea flower drink was exactly what I needed, followed by my favorite Thai dessert.

The room where Sai is staying tonight is the 4/1 Garden Suite (located on the 4th floor). When she opened the door, she was amazed! Personally, Sai really likes this style. It feels like home.

The bathroom is divided into two sections.

The balcony in front of the room is a small garden with chairs for relaxing.

The room is equipped with Wi-Fi, so you won't have to worry about being bored.

In the afternoon, we arrived at the accommodation and saw that they offered food. So, my mother and I each ordered a set for lunch.

"If you're visiting this place, don't forget to order the Butterfly Pea Flower, Lime, and Honey drink. Not only is the color beautiful, but the taste is also very satisfying."

Rice with chili paste and salted egg + fresh vegetables and roselle juice. A menu that really impressed my mother. The taste is delicious and very satisfying.

Deep-fried organic fish with fish sauce and butterfly pea flower water. This is my own dish. I must say that the fish pieces are very large and delicious, worth the price. The taste is very good.

In addition to the above menu, there are many other options to choose from. (You don't have to stay overnight to enjoy a meal.)

Moving on to desserts, we have the Afternoon Tea Set: Enjoy a selection of traditional Thai sweets with your afternoon tea for 250 baht. Served at 2:00 PM. Reservations required. Call 097-1642910.

A nearby tourist attraction recommended by Sai is Wat Traimit Witthayaram, located on Mittraphap Thai-Chin Road in Talat Noi Subdistrict, Samphanthawong District. This ancient temple, originally known as "Wat Sam Chin," is believed to have been built by three Chinese individuals as a place for charitable giving.

The Golden Buddha of Sukhothai

The Phra Phuttha Maha Suwan Patimakon (พระพุทธมหาสุวรรณปฏิมากร), also known as the Phra Sukhothai Traimit (พระสุโขทัยไตรมิตร), is the largest solid gold Buddha statue in the world, as recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records.

This impressive statue stands at 3.91 meters tall and has a face width of 3.01 meters. It is composed of nine separate sections, with the lower portion being made of 40% pure gold. The face is 80% gold, while the hair weighs 45 kilograms and is 99.99% pure gold.

The Phra Sukhothai Traimit is believed to have been created during the Sukhothai period in the Maravijaya posture. It was originally thought to have been housed at the Wat Mahathat in Sukhothai Province.

During the reign of King Rama I, the statue was brought to Bangkok by Prince Maha Sura Singhanat. Due to the large number of Buddha statues brought from the north, proper care could not be given to all of them. A nobleman secretly covered the gold statue with plaster and placed it in a temple he had built. It was later moved to Wat Phraya Krai (Wat Chotikaram).

In 1955, the East Asiatic Company requested to lease the land (which was then an abandoned temple) for a sawmill. The statue was moved next to the pagoda and covered with a rough zinc roof. Nearly 20 years later, after the new ubosot and wihan were completed, the statue was moved again. During this relocation, the plaster covering the statue chipped off, revealing the gold beneath on May 25, 1955.

From the upper level of the viharn, descend to the third floor of the museum, where the structure and origins of the golden Buddha statue are explained.

Visit the Yaowarat History Center Exhibition on the 2nd floor.

The principal Buddha image in the ordination hall is a stucco statue of the Buddha in the Maravijaya posture, covered in gold leaf. It is popularly known as "Luang Pho To" or "Luang Pho Wat Sam Chin". Devotees often make offerings of jasmine garlands to the statue. King Chulalongkorn once visited the temple and praised the beauty of the Buddha image. "Luang Pho Mo", a former abbot of Wat Traimit Witthayaram, once distributed amulets in the form of the Buddha image, made of a lead-tin alloy. These amulets, known as "Luang Pho To Wat Sam Chin", were highly sought after and are now rare.

There are many delicious restaurants near the accommodation, such as "Kway Teow Pak Mor" (Auntie Meow's hidden restaurant). This restaurant is always crowded, so be prepared to wait in line if you want to try it.

The original text is empty. There is nothing to translate.

Jek Jea Muay Kiew, a restaurant located near my accommodation, is a popular spot with a bustling atmosphere. It opens early in the morning and closes in the late morning.

*** Guests staying at The Unforgotten B&B can choose from a variety of breakfast options.

Emerald Restaurant, a roast duck and crispy pork restaurant with a queue that stretches to the mouth of the alleyway.

In the evening, you can also walk to Chinatown for delicious food.

Sand pinned "Moo Satay Plaeng Nam" as the only restaurant she visited during this trip. This particular restaurant required a 90-minute wait for 10 skewers of delicious, yet time-consuming, satay.

The remaining shops could only walk past, as each shop had a very long queue.

The vibrant atmosphere of lights and colors at night.
