Muang Boran (Ancient city)
296/1 Sukhumvit Road
Bangpoo, Samut Prakan 10280
Thailand Timings: 9am – 5pm
This was our last day in Bangkok,Thailand. Today we opted Ancient city, which is around 30kms from our hotel. As usual we took sky train from Saphan Taskin station (2mins to this station from hotel we stayed) to Bearing station. From there we took taxi to Ancient city. Localites doesnt know if you tell ancient city, so better tell them Muang Boran...
It was already 10;30am by time we reached Ancient city. We dint know about Battery operated car, and thought tram would stop in all places. But later learnt that tram operates only in fixed hours, and covers only few places. So we decided to use battery car..
There are 4 options to go around Ancient city.
1. Drive in your own car/Rented car.
2. Use Ancient cities tram (but this covers only main places)
3. Use Ancient cities bicycle (not feasible in that hot sun).
4. Rent Battery car, and drive around yourself
Since this was last day, we dint exchange much Bahts, and ensured we have bahts for skytrain/Cab/Food and Entrance fees to Ancient city...I wanted to use Battery car and see more land marks which is not covered in tram. Ramesh immediately took taxi to nearest Atm to exchange dollars, but this took 30mins. Next tram was at 1;00pm. So we decided to take battery car for 2hrs and cover as much as possible and return back to tram for 1;00pm ride...
We rented a two seater battery car and went around, its a wide area and very easy to get lost, better to have a map and 110 Destinations List..
We just went in battery car and saw this land marks. There were simply so many things to see, I just dont remember there names. So here's a photo of what all we see....
Here is Idol's of Buddha in different postures, Standing,Sitting,Lying down...
Here are some more idols, depiciting various stories from Indian and Buddhist Mythology..
By then it was 12;30pm, we left the Battery car ( You can leave battery car in car stands, there are multiple stands in every 2kms..) We then went to Floating market, Ram nam restaurant, this is where next Tram picks people to Round around Ancient siam.. Floating market is the place where you have many restaurants, better to finish lunch here..
We had lunch in floating market and went to ram nam restaurant for Tram...Tram stopped only in main places, below are the places we saw in the tram stops. We first stopped by Village side market..
We then stopped by different Model, palace of Thailand...Some palace are allowed, while some palace are private and not let to visitors...
Here are some more palace and royal buildings..
It was 3;30 by time we finished tram round and reached the entrance, we decided to go back to hotel. As we had flight to Bangalore in night...We took Taxi till bearing station, and From bearing took sky train to Saphan taskin station.. We reached room by 4;45pm...We had already vacated room in morning, and kept our luggage in Reception..
Receptionist, offered we can use restroom near Swimming pool, freshen up and then head to Airport. So nice of them, we immediately grabbed new dress from luggage, headed to pool.We decided to spend an hour in pool as we had lots of time for flight.. We spent an hour in pool, and took shower and around 6;00pm we were ready to say Good bye to Thailand..
We took cab to reach Suvarnabhumi airport.. We finished check-in formalities and we had lots of time.. We went around airport and took this pictures..
