BANGKOK - CHINATOWN, MARKETS & STREET FOOD. HALF DAY BY LOCAL TRANSPORT & TUK TUK

BANGKOK - CHINATOWN, MARKETS & STREET FOOD. HALF DAY BY LOCAL TRANSPORT & TUK TUK and FOOD TASTING

Day 1

At 15:00, meeting with the guide and departure for this day of visiting the city, using local transport.
We go to the nearest BTS elevated subway station and head to Saphan Taksin station.
From here we will use the ferry to reach the Maharaj pier. The first visit we make concerns one of the most famous markets in Bangkok, the Phra Chan Market or Amulet Market, The market is located in the northern island of Rattanakosin near the Grand Palace and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha. For decades, it has attracted the most devoted believers of Thai superstition, creating a strong economy of local amulets. Phra Chan Market offers a curious insight into another side of Thai Buddhism.
Buddhist amulets are the main attraction of the market and many are willing to take an oath on them. The sellers suggest the suitable one, depending on your needs, "This will help your business. That will protect you from evil spirits. Those over there will bless you with a long life." So no wonder you can see some people wearing several hanging around the neck.
It is also interesting to ask the sellers of the most expensive amulets about their history, because of the high cost, it is certainly fascinating to discover the history, age and origin.
Wandering around the market, it is not uncommon to encounter fortune-tellers who offer their services at reasonable rates and “could” help you see the path you will have to take in your future.
With a Tuk Tuk, We continue to the Talad Pak Klong, the largest wholesale flower market in Bangkok. While it may not even be a typical tourist attraction, Pak Klong Talad draws visitors looking for Bangkok experiences off the beaten path. The area is a fascinating place to visit and experience the activity and hustle and bustle of an authentic market at work around the clock.
Talad Pak Klong is best known for its flower market, but fruit and vegetables are also found. The market is a feast for the senses. Dazzling yellow chrysanthemums, by the thousands, are piled next to purple orchids. In the side streets, the chillies form a fiery traffic light of color with the red, amber and green fill floors and overflow onto the sidewalks. Skinny old seniors compete with sassy youngsters, who push carts full of products to and from wholesalers. Passers-by are teased by jasmine gushes and the scent of orchids hangs heavily in the humid Bangkok air. All around the constant chatter of trade provides the soundtrack that plays softly during the day increasing in volume at night before reaching a crescendo in the peak trading hours before dawn.
Still with a Tuk Tuk, we reach the most famous STREET FOOD area in Bangkok, Chinatown.
In a city known for its nocturnal indulgences, the famous restaurants, banquets, trolleys offering street food are a "must", as also documented by CNN. You will always find carts offering noodle soups, pork skewers, or fried noodles in the classic Wok. Yaowarat, Bangkok's Chinatown, is a food district.
Started by the immigrants from southern China, who had brought their culinary techniques with them, then mixing them with sauces and local products, street food is a new category of food, an explosion of smells, of flavors that can only fascinate you.
You will taste some of the best dishes, choosing from Kwai Tiew (noodle soups), Pad Thai or Pad See Ew (both noodles prepared in the wok), surrounded by the famous Dim Sum, local treats and herbal drinks.
At around 7:30 pm, the Tuk Tuk will take you to the Hua Lamphon subway stop, for the return to the hotel (depending on the location, it could also be done by taxi).

The departure times, the indications of the duration of the trips and the itineraries are indicative. They may undergo variations for reasons beyond our control and not foreseeable

KOH PHANGAN - WELCOME PACKAGE

AVAILABLE FROM MONDAY 1ST JANUARY 2024 TO WEDNESDAY 31ST DECEMBER 2025

Unlimited Seats

ko Pha-ngan is one of the most famous islands in the world. It is well known for the Full Moon Party held every full moon at the beach of Hat Rin. A large number of tourists from all over the world visit the island, especially in the summer. Apart from beautiful beaches and amazing blue water, you can explore the natural beauty of numerous natural attractions such as waterfalls and mountains and discover the local lifestyle of coconut farmers and fishermen in the village of Ban Chalok Lam. As the island offers visitors all types of tourist attractions, it is a must-visit destination for both Thai and foreign tourists. Ko Pha-ngan is located approximately 100 kilometres from Surat Thani City. It has a total area of 168 square kilometres. The island, together with the island of Ko Tao, is part of Ko Pha-ngan District, which is the smallest district of Surat Thani Province. The island is dominated by mountainous terrain and has beaches, sand dunes and coral reefs. In the middle of the island are mountains running north-south. Plains cover only one-fourth of the total area and are mostly found on the west side of the island. On the east side of the island lie coastal mountains. Besides, the island has several bays where boats can dock in some seasons. Furthermore, the monsoon season of the island begins in October and lasts till January. Tourists are not recommended to pay a visit to the island during this time. Ko Pha-ngan has been inhabited by human for a long time. It is assumed that the first settlers on the island are the Malays from Nakhon Si Thammarat or from Pattani who immigrated to the island and were mostly fishermen. The evidence of this assumption is the names of some places on the island. For example, according to a former Ko Samii District Chief Officer, Ko Pha-ngan was formerly known as "Ko Raham", literally meaning the shadowy island. In addition, the names of some other nearby islands such as Ko Wua Ta Lap and Ko Lao Yu are originally from the Malay language. Furthermore, there is another story of the origin of Ko Pha-ngan's name. It is believed that the name is derived from "Lang Ngan", a local word used to refer to sand dunes that emerge from the sea when the tide is low. Moreover, the first syllable of the word Pha-ngan in Thai was originally spelt without Sara-Ah, the short Ah vowel. However, after when Ko Pha-ngan was made a minor district or King Amphoe in 1970 and later a district in 1977, the Thai government decided to officially include Sara-Ah within the name. As a consequence, the island's Thai name has two variations, i.e. one with Sara-Ah and one without Sara-Ah. Furthermore, the island was visited by four kings of the Chakri Dynasty, namely King Chulalongkorn, King Vajiravudh, King Prajadhipok and King Bhumibol. All inscribed their name on a rock near Than Sadet Waterfall, to which, interestingly, King Chulalongkorn paid a visit 14 times. Aside from the famous Full Moon Party, the island has a good reputation for snorkelling and diving. Visitors can go snorkelling to explore the natural beauty of coral reefs around the island. As an alternative, you can get on a boat which will take you to amazing dive sites near the island. The most popular sites are "Hin Bai" and "Samran", where different kinds of colourful corals lie, waiting for divers to discover its beauty. Also, these sites are home to a variety of fascinating sea animals, e.g. clownfish, harlequin shrimps and parrotfish. Besides, a one day trip to Ko Tao, which also possesses several perfect dive sites, is available. Ko Pha-ngan's major attractions: 1.Thong Sala 2.Hat Rin 3.Ao Thong Nai Pan 4.Hat Mae Hat 5.Than Sadet Waterfall National Park How to get to the island: From Surat Thani City, drive or take public transport to a ferry pier in Don Sak. A ferry ride from the mainland to the island takes three hours and a half. In addition, during peak season (December-April), those who wish to visit the island are recommended to book a flight at least one to two days before travelling. Tips for tourists: 1.You are not recommended to rent a motorbike if you are not familiar with roads on the island. Some roads are steep and some are unpaved with holes. Riders should ride carefully; otherwise it is better to rent other types of vehicles. 2.At the Full Moon Party, beware of pickpockets and snatchers. There will be lots of people at the party so take care of your belongings, especially, cameras, phones and purses or wallets. Besides, don't drink too much, particularly if you have to ride a motorbike or drive back to your hotel. 3.For those who would like to visit Khao Ra Peak, be ready for the adventure and don't forget to prepare your own medicines, food, bottles of water, sleeping bag and proper clothes. Also, to go to Khao Ra, all visitors must be accompanied by staff.
