Samut Prakan is located around 40km south east of Bangkok and it is a nice place for one day trip. The Muang Boran Ancient City is a place we must visit in this area. It is a very big museum park occupying over 200 acres in the shape of Thailand. The museum features more than 100 structures of Thailand's famous monuments and architectural attractions. These monuments are built and located geographically following the shape of Thailand. Some of the buildings are life-size replicas of existing or former sites, while others are scaled down. Since the park is too big to be covered by foot, it is advisable to rent the buggy which can carry 4 persons. We can operate the buggy on our own and we took 4 hours to cover the museum. For a more detail viewing of the museum may take up to 6 hours. There are many beatiful structures in nice surroundings for photography. Other places of interest that can be included in this day trip are the nice Wat Asokaram (temple), watching many sea gulls at Bangpu Recreation Centre, the huge reclining Buddha of Wat Bang Phli Yai Klang and the giant three headed elephant statue at Erawan Museum.

Last two times when we visited bkk, we actually wanted to visit but was not in our first choice! This trip, we actually wanted to postpone our visit again as we thot it is just another ordinary museum, but we are wrong. The place is beautiful, the stained glass roof top, the intricate stairways, the beautiful landscape garden, the peace... Make sure you climb all the way to the top for a great surprise!! ???? Recommended!

The best thing is plenty of table fans in building. After the walk from Kheha station, it was a relief to dry sweat. I like to walk or take public transport like buses, bts totally avoiding bike taxis. though after sunset, the building steps leading to meditation hall are very windy. I also liked the chandeliers in meditation hall, very beautiful indeed.

To think that this wat is located not far from where I live, and had never visited all this time, it was certainly a temple worth the trip! I went into both the stupa (the bell shaped structure) as well as the actual temple across the street, and both were VERY grand and amazing that this wonder exists away from the much more well known temples in Bangkok! I think the most iconic feature in the stupa, is the giant happy Buddha! You can also go up a total of 6 stories all the way to the top and where eventually, the way up becomes a continuous spiral walkway.

Normally, I drove to Pattaya or may be Amphawa or Hua Hin but this time we tried Bang Kachao or Sri Nahkhon Khuen Khan Park and Botanical Garden in Phra Pradaeng District, Samut Prakan instead. See from the many reviews, you may also take BTS [Stop at Bang Na station] then you take the boat and you may rent a bike to go to this park, water market and explore this little island or so called 'The Green Lung of Bangkok' too. But as you know, we drove and rent a whole day bike [THB 50 per bike per day], we also bought some water and food to go along and the mission is only to bike, to stop for photos and to enjoy! Nice, fabulous, energy boosting and fun! Why? There are so many green stuffs, pond, birds and a lot of places for you to take nice photos to post on your social media. Try one day and you'll like it - See our great shots!

Outstanding visit. Faultlessly clean, really good food and an excellent selection of beer, wine, spirits and soft drinks. Very spacious showers with complimentary consumables. If you have a layover in BKK this is the place to go ????
