Mo will take everyone on a train ride.
I arrived at Hua Lamphong Station at 6:30 am to buy a train ticket. The morning atmosphere was still calm and peaceful.
Ticket for train 111 from Bangkok to Den Chai. I don't know the price, my assistant bought it for me. 5555
The third-class train. Wow, it must be perfect (I thought). No, huh? The third-class train is the lowest class, the economy class. The ticket says "no seat." At first, I was confused about what "no seat" meant. When I got on, I realized that we could sit anywhere, but when the owner of the seat arrived, we had to get up. Oh, so we might have to stand. It's not comfortable to sit like this.
However, the owner is probably not here yet. Even if they were, they would only stand for a moment. It's better to look at the atmosphere outside. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the light rain, the crowds, and the vendors along the way. It's better to look out the window. 5555
We have arrived at Monkey City, accompanied by a light drizzle.
The army marches on its stomach. It's better to eat first. The pork brought from Bangkok to eat in Lopburi... good.
The first stop, huh? The train arrived as soon as I saw it, running through the light rain. Rain is not a problem.
This is exactly like the reviews I've seen.
This angle is a popular spot for photos, and the real place is even more beautiful than the pictures.
How beautiful it would be if the sky were clear today.
The correct route is to first visit the Shrine of the Black Prince and then proceed to the Three-Peaked Prang.
I will not participate in this discussion. 55555 The monkeys are like a huge colony. The best thing to do is to stand at a distance and not approach the group of monkeys. My head almost came off, and the monkeys also snatched Brown. TT
After leaving the monkey, I walked back and found a park with tents set up. There wasn't much there, but the highlight was a Ferris wheel.
Mo wants to play on the Ferris wheel.
Taking a quick moment to snap a few photos before moving on.
The highlight of the visit is the Narai National Museum, which offers a map guiding visitors through 12 points of interest, each with detailed information. (A full review with pictures will be provided later.)

This is the spot, the same one as on the brochure cover.
Love
Hello, Happy
This is Mo's friend. I found her sleeping in the exhibition hall. We chatted for a while.
The intoxicating fragrance of dok gasalong blossoms lured me in, their beauty beckoning me closer. The air was thick with their sweet scent, creating a dreamlike atmosphere.
Dreamy and whimsical.
Please help! The mill has fallen.
It's time to go. The herbalist said the train is coming soon.
I haven't finished taking pictures yet. I haven't been to Street Art yet.
Wow! Mo is so handsome! Mo is a model and someone asked to take a picture with Mo. Mo is shy.
Looking beautiful before leaving
And I really have to go now. Where should we meet next time? Don't forget to follow Mo, it's fun.
