The Thai Dragon Temple that I've been wanting to visit for years, I finally saw it this time ✌️

Ever since I saw this Dragon Temple on Instagram a few years ago, it has been constantly on my mind. I've been to Bangkok several times but always missed it. This time, with the visa-free city walk in Thailand, my wish finally came true! 📍Wat Sam Phran, also known as the Thai Dragon Temple, is located in Sam Phran District, on the western outskirts of Bangkok. Address: 92 Sam Phran, Sam Phran District, Nakhon Pathom. 🚗Transportation: Grab. We took a taxi from Khao San Road and it cost about 500 Thai baht, taking about 40 minutes. 👔Dress code: Try not to dress too revealingly. Shoes need to be removed before entering the temple. 💰Entrance fee: There is no entrance fee, but at the wish-making area, you will be asked to make a donation and write your wish. There are also several other donation points inside, so it's recommended to have some change with you. Apart from the wish-making area and the donation at the top, I didn't donate anywhere else (because I didn't have any change left 😂). 🌟The Dragon Temple is actually a nunnery with pink walls and a dragon winding its way up. It looks very unique and spectacular from afar. You can climb up along the dragon's body (a total of 11 floors) to reach the roof for prayers. Surprisingly, there are also many giant statues guarding the temple. 🌟Tips: 1. Shoes need to be removed before entering. The interior of the dragon's body is quite simple, with bare concrete floors and fans for ventilation on each floor. It's not too stuffy walking up. Once you reach the roof, you can also make a donation to receive gold foil to stick on the Buddha statue. 2. Remember to have some change with you. We didn't have any and ended up donating a lot 😂. 3. There are many giant statues next to the Dragon Temple. You can take photos with them if you like. 4. Apart from the giant architecture, there are also giant lizards. One suddenly appeared behind me when I was taking photos, which scared me a bit. 5. It's quite difficult to get a taxi back. We waited for 30 minutes before we could get one. Remember to allow enough time for your return journey.

I get to row the boat 🤩

If you are going Bangkok soon, you MUST definitely visit After the Rain Coffee & Gallery! You should heard of Bubble in the forest, and if you are going there you should make a visit to after the rain too as it’s quite near! So don’t waste the travelling time and visit 2 cafes 🤩 
I actually rented a driver for a day to bring us from our hotel -> Bubble in the forest -> After the rain -> Union Mall -> Jeh O -> Jodd Fairs -> hotel as it’s more convenient since the cafes are a bit far out and we scared we can’t get a grab back. 
Food: The food was not bad! 🤭 We ordered Peach Soda, Pink Lemonade, Mango Sticky Rice & Pork Neck butterfly pea rice to share since we already ate at BITF 🫶🏻 
There were 2 main big boats for you to take pictures and you get to row the boat around that area or you can also row the smaller boat to go one big round around the place🤣 it was quite tiring to already row the boat to take the picture area but the photos were so worth it! There was also a swing! Really love this place omg, you should definitely visit especially if you are also visiting BITF already! 
Price $: 450 Baht (~$18) for everything

Dragon Temple 🐉 is located a hour drive west of Bangkok. it’s one of the most particular buildings I’ve ever seen. We climbed through the body of the dragon all the way to the rooftop where we watched an incredible sunset.

The Three Little Pigs Farm, Nakorn Pathom, Thailand: This cafe is located in Amphoe Sam Phran which is about one hour drive from Bangkok. There are a lot of trees and they also have organic farm there together with mushroom farm. #wintergetaway #wintergetaway

In addition to crocodile performances and elephant performances in the park, there are also time periods. There will be a magic show before the elephant show begins. The first few magics are still very obvious. The latter few magic tricks are quite skillful. The overall viewing is still quite strong. Two people have performed magic for a long time, and it is very hard to finish the use of the props on the stage. The elephant performance is divided into several different scenes for performances, royal family, football players, ancient struggles, etc. The personal most interesting thing is the last chapter, the restoration of ancient wars, Thai live performances, fighting The between is also very interesting, the actual scene restoration is also very realistic, the thatched cottage on the high platform actually burned directly with the fire, really admire the Thai people's 'straight brains'. At the end of the performance, there will be a sugar cane banana next to it, 20 baht, which can be used to feed the elephant, and can also take photos with the elephant. Of course, the photo is a tip.

Wat Samphran Dragon Tower Temple

When in #bangkok don’t forget to stop at #watsamphran #DragonTowerTemple it’s so beautiful and peaceful. Meet the locals and monks and don’t forget to donate to help keep the temple open to the public. It’s free to enter but donations are requested. It’s handicap friendly and gives panoramic views of the city. Get your red ribbon to add your prayer to the pole at the top. 10/10 definitely recommend.

"Thai" Fun | Having afternoon tea by the blue water is so chill.

| Having afternoon tea by the blue water is so chill. 🤩 Bubble in the Forest in Nakhon Pathom, floating coffee. The atmosphere and environment are comparable to the Maldives, really not exaggerated! The time spent with friends eating food and taking photos here is so relaxing~🥰 🌴 The blue water, with floating wooden houses, water walkways, high-altitude viewing seats, lush green environment and unbeatable frangipani... A casual shot is a blockbuster, the key is that there are no mosquitoes, and the girlfriends are here, enjoying a relaxing and comfortable afternoon tea time, chill~ 📸 Photo check-in tips: It is recommended to go early, with fewer people and cool; the second-floor terrace can take a panoramic view; the terrace has a net hammock for check-in; each water house has a swing for taking pictures; the wooden walkway is crowded and cannot be avoided, and the later stage can be applied; it is recommended to wear brightly colored clothes 🍹 Food: The drinks are good, quite distinctive, except for coconut water, they are all good-looking; the food has Thai characteristics, if you pursue cost-effectiveness, it is recommended to order a set meal directly 🚗 Transportation: It is a one and a half hour drive from here to Bangkok. It is recommended to play with the surrounding attractions. ⏰ Business hours: 10:00-21:00, most of the time you need to make an appointment in advance, 300 baht per person, which can be directly deducted from consumption. Go on time, otherwise the appointment will be cancelled because it is too popular 📍 Bubble in the Forest Cofe

The secret of Maldivian cafe in the suburbs of Bangkok Bubble in the forest

Located in the outskirts of Bangkok, there are many packages for the beautiful view cafe on the Internet, but you can actually make a reservation directly and go there by yourself. You can make a reservation through the official LINE or fan group, and then remit the deposit to the store. There are also operators online to assist with reservations, and there may be a charge. NT$100-200. The entire park is full of exotic Nanyang style, and the entire lake is very comfortable. There are also special meals that the service staff will bring to you from the lake, and they are paired with swings. The whole thing is very chill. If there is an area with an eaves, the private room must be booked in advance. There is no discount. There are also some travel agency groups that are specially designed to take photos. There is no time limit and you can really take hundreds of photos before leaving. The food part is very affordable, with fried food, desserts and drinks, and special dishes to choose from, but the food is not memorable. Some of the private rooms in the environmental section are equipped with electric fans, which are very thoughtful and suitable for spending half a day playing. #100WAYS OF TRAVEL #wangmei scenic spot #check-in holy place #travel cool experience #Thailand #Thailand free travel #Bangkok #Bangkok free travel #boys photo #wangmei cafe
