As we had 5 people in the group, we booked this type of Taxi from the Grab app which can accommodate up to 6-7 persons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As today was a weekend, our first destination was the famous Chatuchak Weekend Market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Open on Saturdays and Sundays, the market is a must-visit destination for those looking to experience the vibrant culture and bustling energy of Bangkok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Known for its lively and eclectic environment, Chatuchak Weekend Market is divided into sections to help visitors navigate its extensive offerings. However, part of the charm is exploring the maze-like layout and discovering hidden gems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

One thing you must try is the Mango Sticky Rice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After a few hours exploring the Weekend Market, we proceed to the latest Mall in Bangkok, The Emsphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>
\"\"<\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We finally got our share of Noodles and Pork Trotters rice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We went to Sathorn Pier again to check out the various Ferry rides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

These were the places frequented by visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Some rides cost between 500 to 1000 baht.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We decided to get the All Day River Pass which allowed us to hop on and hop off to multiple places along the Chao Phaya River.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Here comes the ferry. There were upper and lower deck seatings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We preferred the lower deck cause it’s hot up there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We alighted at Phra Arthit, the upper limit of the ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Wat Arun, also known as the Temple of Dawn, is one of Bangkok’s most iconic and stunning landmarks. Situated on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River, this magnificent temple is renowned for its striking architecture and intricate design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The central feature of Wat Arun is its towering prang (spire), which rises over 70 meters high and is adorned with colorful porcelain and seashell mosaics that glitter beautifully in the sunlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We decided to ride back to Icon Siam as there were many sections within the Mall that we had not visited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Our aim for today is “Chill”. So let’s Chill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, cold drinks to cool off the heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>
\"\"<\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Followed by the Noodles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
