—— [Damnoen Saduak Floating Market] ——Damnoen Saduak Floating Market is located in the southwest of Bangkok. It is a rare market that still retains the style of Thailand’s former floating markets. It has a history of more than a hundred years. Many movies have been filmed here, and the most famous one is one in the "007" series.There are still local people living in floating houses built on the water. Most of the merchants are husband-and-wife shops, doing business on the river all year round. In the canal with lush tropical trees on both sides, boats carrying vegetables, fruits and small commodities shuttle through the narrow waterway. On the boats, local working women wear unique straw hats and shout loudly to sell their goods. During peak hours, such small merchant ships and passenger boats on the canal will cause traffic jams on the river, forming a lively scene. —— [Maeklong Railway Market] ——Maeklong Railway Market is mainly a place where locals buy their daily food, so it has nothing to do with tourists. Therefore, there are very few stalls selling souvenirs in this market. However, you will have the opportunity to see a variety of authentic food, daily necessities and groceries, and get in touch with the local people's lifestyle.There was no railway in the Maeklong Market before. However, the local residents refused to leave until the railway was built. The two sides could not reach a consensus on compensation. Finally, they reached an agreement that since there were not many departure time, only 8 per day, the vendors were allowed to set up their stalls and do business there. However, before the trains entered or left the station, the vendors had to pack up to allow the trains to pass. At the same time, the trains could only enter and leave the station at a speed of no more than 15 kilometers per hour. —— [Three-Headed Statue Museum] ——The Three-Headed Elephant Museum weighs 250 tons and is about 16 stories high. It is made of pure copper. The elevator in its legs leads to the museum in the elephant's belly to explore the mysteries of Thai elephant god culture. Feel the charm of architectural culture and religious art —— [Ancient Siam] ——"A thousand years of Siam, an ancient city in one day". The cultural heritage was granted by King Rama IX of Thailand.
