TEMPLE OF MARBLE
Wat Benchamabopit Dusitwanaram (Wat Ben), or Marble Temple, built with Carrara marble, is located near the Government Palace and the Equestrian Statue of King Rama IV. It is an ancient temple during the Ayutthaya period, it was originally called Wat Laem or Wat Saithong. During the reign of King Rama IV, the temple was restored by five princes and renamed Wat Bejamabopit (five princes). In 1899, King Rama V completely rebuilt the temple and gave it the name Wat Benjamabopit Dusitwanaram, which means the Temple of the Fifth King. He put Prince Narissaranuwatti in charge of the design and construction.
WAT SAKET (GOLDEN MOUNT)
Wat Saket or the Temple of the Golden Mount in Bangkok is an ancient temple dating back to the Ayutthaya period. Previously called Wat Sakae, the name was changed to Wat Saket during the reign of King Rama I. The Golden Mount, built under the rule of King Rama V, is 77 meters high and at the top reside many of the Buddhist relics found in the ancient city Kapilavastu.
Some other interesting things in this Bangkok temple are the numerous Buddha images, the temple hall, the pagoda, the scripture room and the Sri Maha Bodhi tree. This is another must-see place when visiting Bangkok.
FLOWER MARKET
The Bangkok Flower Market (Pak Klong Talad) is the largest wholesale and retail fresh flower market in Bangkok. The market has all kinds of popular flowers and flora-related items, including roses, orchids, lilies, and more. Most of them are sold in packs of 50 or 100 flowers each, and the prices are incredibly cheap. Part of the Old City, Bangkok's Flower Market is located on Chak Phet Road near Saphan Phut or the Memorial Bridge. Shops and vendors are housed in two- or three-story shops on either side of the main road. The market is located just south of Wat Pho (Temple of the Reclining Buddha) and has access to a riverside pier, so it makes for a great day trip combined with other historic Old Town attractions.

The word Lipe comes from the language of the Urak Lawoi people meaning a sheet of paper because the island has a flat area and no high mountains. It is located about 2 kilometres south of ko Adang. The highlight of Ko Lipe is the nature of the coral surrounding the island, beautiful bays, and soft sandy beaches. The main beaches comprise: - Hat Pattaya or Hat Banda Ya has a concave shape and fine white sand. It is the busiest beach because it is full of facilities for tourists, e.g., walking streets, resorts, restaurants, transfer points for passenger boats, and excursion boats to different islands. - Hat Sunrise or Hat Chao Le is a beach where you can watch the beautiful sunrise with fine white sand. Accommodation is available including the location of Chao Le or the Urak Lawoi community. Most of them are engaged in local fishing. When HRH Princess Sirindhorn came to Ko Lipe, she bestowed the surname to the villagers as Han Thale. Old cultural traditions of the Urak Lawoi people include the floating tradition Per La Chak, which is held 2 times during the 13th -15th evening of the sixth lunar month (May) and the 12th lunar month (November). The villagers build a boat based on the belief that it is to float away suffering and misfortunes from the community. - Hat Sunset is where visitors can watch the beautiful sunset in an uncrowded atmosphere.
