222 Phetchaburi RdIf you want to visit a traditional floating market in Bangkok then Damnoen Saduak may not be your thing; it’s a tourist haven and is home to throngs of foreigners at weekends. To get to the market from Bangkok you need to board a bus at the Southern Bus Terminal; the journey takes approximately two hours. Of course you can also barter with a local taxi driver to establish a reasonable fare for the round trip. You need to be aware that when you get to the Damnoen Saduak area you will be approached to join several boats trips to the market. It’s far cheaper and quicker to catch a bus or take a taxi and then hire a boat to take a short trip later if it’s something you really want to do. Once you get to the market it’s a fun experience and very tourist savvy. You’ll be able to take photographs of the endless array of boats and the local ladies with their wooden sticks that they use to take the money from you and pass you your purchase. Damnoen Saduak is the tourist spot of floating markets; it’s not the most traditional, but you will have some great photos of your trip.

This ramen restaurant has the taste closest to what I tried in Tokyo. It's on Soi 39. You can walk there, too. We are on the Emporium side, so you go up the crossing bridge to the BTS entrance level then go down stair on the side of Emquartier, turn at Soi 39 and walk all the way to the end of Soi 39.

Accessible by BTS, this is a very authentic Thai food. It is very rare to see tourists here, but boat noodles are popular between the locals. This is where you experience both local cuisine and daily life of Thai people, by enjoying bowl by bowl of hot noodle soups.

Sightseeing
The grand palace
Snaking throughout Bangkok are the remnants of its pre-road days: the canals, or khlong, to use the Thai name. While most of these aquatic thoroughfares are now used only for drainage purposes, public boats continue to zip people around on two of the widest canals. In addition to convenience and fun, the boats offer vantages of the city that you otherwise wouldn’t get to see.
The Bangkok Canal Tourist Boat
This service is specifically launched for tourists in 2017, starting from Pratunam Pier. The boats are larger and more spacious than those used on the regular service, but they go slower, give you more time to get on and off, and employ tour guides who explain some of the passing attractions in sometimes comprehensible English.
Departing roughly every 20 minutes from 10:00 to 18:00, these boats start at Pratunam and cruise west on the San Saeb Canal, stopping at most of the same piers as the regular khlong boats (Hua Chang, Bo Bae Market, Phanfa Leelard). But from Phanfa Leelard they continue west on Khlong Banglamphu and make a final stop near the corner of Chakrabongse, Samsen and Phra Sumen roads, just north of Khao San Road and west of Phra Arthit Pier on the Chao Phraya river ferry lines. The tourist boats do not run east of Pratunam. Tickets cost 200 baht for a full-day pass. You can pay single trip price if you are using the public boat.

Wat Arun, locally known as Wat Chaeng, is situated on the west (Thonburi) bank of the Chao Phraya River. It is easily one of the most stunning temples in Bangkok, not only because of its riverside location, but also because the design is very different to the other temples you can visit in Bangkok. Wat Arun (or temple of the dawn) is partly made up of colourfully decorated spires and stands majestically over the water. Wat Arun is almost directly opposite Wat Pho, so it is very easy to get to. Entry to the temple is 100 baht. The temple is open daily from 08:30 to 17:30.

Located at the end of Chinatown's Yaowarat Road, near Hualampong Railway Station, Wat Traimit houses the world's largest massive gold seated Buddha measuring nearly five metres in height and weighing five and a half tons. In the past, artisans crafted the Buddhas in gold and disguised them from invading armies by a covering of stucco and plaster.
The Buddha at Wat Traimit was discovered by accident when it was accidentally dropped as it was being moved, revealing, under a casing of plaster, a beautiful solid gold Sukhothai style Buddha. Pieces of the plaster are still kept on display.

Wat Phra Kaew or the Temple of the Emerald Buddha (officially known as Wat Phra Sri Rattana Satsadaram) is regarded as the most important Buddhist temple in Thailand. Located in the historic centre of Bangkok, within the grounds of the Grand Palace, it enshrines Phra Kaew Morakot (the Emerald Buddha), the highly revered Buddha image meticulously carved from a single block of jade. The Emerald Buddha (Phra Putta Maha Mani Ratana Patimakorn) is a Buddha image in the meditating position in the style of the Lanna school of the north, dating from the 15th century AD.
