We departed from Surin province at 8:20 PM. The train arrived on time, which is a rare occurrence!

The train is not crowded, but there are a lot of insects. The ticket from Surin to Hua Lamphong costs 185 baht.

We arrived at Hua Lamphong Station at 5:10 AM. The train was very punctual. Okay, okay, let's go take a shower first. The bathroom fee is 10 baht.

- We headed to Sanam Luang first, as we were planning to visit the Royal Crematorium. We were told that there were free shuttle buses to Sanam Luang waiting at the station, so we didn't hesitate to hop on one.

Together, let's show the compassion of the Thai people.

The bus left on time. No, no, no. He was waiting for people. (The point is that we have been to Sanam Luang before, but we came by private car. We didn't know where it was, so we asked the uncle and aunt on the bus. It turned out that they were going to Sanam Luang too, so we followed them.)

We have arrived! There are so many people here, it's crazy! 😂 We have to queue to get our name tags for the event. However, there are a lot of soldiers around.

"Memories of being born during the reign of King Rama IX"

"I was born during the reign of King Rama IX."

"Born during the reign of King Rama IX."

"I was born during the reign of King Rama IX."

Where should we go next?

Let's enter the palace since we are already here.

"Experience Thailand's hidden gems in a profound way"

"Experience Thailand's Profound Charm"

"Experience the authentic charm of Thailand in a profound way."

Let's go to Wang Lang for lunch after a tiring walk.

In fact, we can walk from Silpakorn University to Thammasat University and then walk along Thammasat University to Tha Phra Chan. However, we can also take a bus from Sanam Luang to Thammasat University and then walk to Tha Phra Chan. Well, it doesn't matter.

Okay, the ferry fare is 3.5 baht.

The boat has already departed. Go to Wang Lang, Siriraj.

Feeling hot, cool it down with a single and happy vibe.

Let's walk around first because we've never been here before. Wow, there's so much food! Let's follow the reviews we read and look around before we buy anything.

Wang Lang View, a restaurant with a view of the Chao Phraya River. But I didn't actually go there, I just walked around the back of the restaurant. Haha!

The Wang Lang Market is a popular spot for food lovers. Many reviewers have visited the market and shared their experiences online. However, some reviewers have expressed concerns about the quality of the food and the service.

Following the positive reviews, I decided to give it a try.

Take a speedboat from Wang Lang Pier (Prannok) for 18 baht to Asiatique.

I would like to visit the Phutthamonthon Bridge.

"Experience Thailand's hidden gems in a profound way."

We have arrived at Asiatique.

Nationality

This phrase is in Thai and translates to "Nationality" in English. However, the additional "จร้าาา" suggests a playful or informal tone, similar to adding "lol" or "haha" in English.

Therefore, a more accurate translation that captures the full meaning and tone could be:

"What's your nationality? (informal)"

Sunset viewpoint

Chic angles

The same height, 300 baht for Thai people.

This shop is very beautiful.

I want to be a child again. I want to play.

Cityscape view, overlooking the capital city.

Outdoor barbecue

Riverfront view of the Chao Phraya River

City lights

Yearning for an inner light.

Leaving a beautiful restaurant, I loved it.

Venture outside one's comfort zone to embrace novel experiences and knowledge.

Waiting for bus number 1 to Bang Rak.

We arrived at Silom after taking bus number 75 to the Victory Monument, where we transferred to bus number 166 to Pak Kret for a break before our next tour.

Woke up at 5 am to catch the train that was supposed to arrive at Lak Si Railway Station at 7:41 am. However, it was delayed and arrived at 8:10 am. We booked tickets for the #Floating Train on the King's Dam sightseeing train. The ticket price was 270 baht for a round trip.

Arrived in Ayutthaya!

Arrived at Hin Saun, Saraburi.

The train is speeding by without stopping. The photos are blurry.

Hello, Pa Sak Cholasit Dam.

It's floating now, but it's not quite the unseen point yet.

The train is starting to curve, and this is where it will stop for us to take photos for 30 minutes. It is the only train that will stop for us to take photos at this floating point.

The friendships formed on the journey brought together people with diverse perspectives and ages, who despite their differences, found common ground and connected.

There are many photo spots, but there are too many people. So I came to this side because the other side is beautiful but very crowded.

Came with friends, but sat separately because there were only 3 tickets left.

The train is about to depart! This is the last minute to capture this angle.

At the end of the road in Khok Salung, let's go down to the market. The villagers are waiting to welcome us, along with the mayor who will open the ceremony.

The market is bustling with tourists.

The train reversed direction and stopped at the Pa Sak Jolasid Dam again for a tour of the dam. Passengers were given until 3:30 PM to explore the area.

The tram ride costs 25 baht per person. The ride takes 45 minutes and goes to the top of the dam, where you can visit the Luang Pu Yai Pa Sak temple.

The train is chugging along.

As the tram departs, we catch a glimpse of the vast expanse of the dam stretching as far as the eye can see.

Wow, a golf cart rental costs 300 baht per hour. If we rent it for two hours, it will only cost 500 baht.

"Grandfather of the Great Forest"

"Luang Pu Yai Pa Sak"

This view is 360 degrees, wow!

Breathe in the fresh air deeply.

Visually appealing, resembling the sea.

Feeding the fish in the wild! It's an investment of 5555 baht. Take off your shoes and get into the water for a close-up encounter with nature.

Goats are also available, with goat's milk for 20 baht per bottle. They all seem very hungry.

A bustling market scene unfolds as local residents warmly welcome tourists. The market boasts an array of renowned products from Lopburi province, including an abundance of plants that, unfortunately, cannot be taken home.

"Khai Ling," a sweet delicacy from the ancient city of Lopburi, is a delightful treat worth savoring.

It was late. The tourist train announced that "the train will arrive at Hua Lamphong Station later than scheduled." We chose to get off at Bang Sue Station to transfer to the MRT, which I had never taken before because I always take the BTS. It was so funny! I put in a coin, but it wouldn't let me out. Okay, okay. We took the train to Chatuchak Park and then walked to Mor Chit to return to the college. Because, because, I have an English class tomorrow morning. Bye, bye! See you on the next trip, soon.
