It is in many ways one of the few areas that remains reminiscent of the more traditional way of life of the city\u2019s residents. You can find quaint local villages and markets still untouched by the onslaught of modern development continuously wreaking its way through the city.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_74294\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/thon2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-74294\" class=\"size-full wp-image-74294\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/thon2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/thon2.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/thon2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/thon2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/thon2-75x75.jpg 75w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/thon2-88x88.jpg 88w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-74294\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image from creativecommons.org<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Some of the few existing narrow waterways are also around this area of Bangkok. The city was once famous for its canals and waterways, although this is much less the case today. In the past they functioned as the main form of transport before the Thai king began laying some of the first roads, many of which covered the smaller canals.<\/p>\n<p>Today, the&nbsp;<em>khlongs<\/em>&nbsp;(canals) still run boats for transportation on the broader waterways, mainly servicing commuters who need to get across the city by boat. The canals in Thonburi definitely give more insights into what you might call a \u2018local\u2019 side of Bangkok.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_74296\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/thon5.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-74296\" class=\"size-full wp-image-74296\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/thon5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/thon5.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/thon5-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-74296\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image from creativecommons.org<\/p><\/div>\n<p>You are much more likely in this area of the city to catch sights of families still living in wooden homes, especially if you are gliding by on a canal boat. You\u2019ll see families eating together children playing in and around the alleys. These sights are not so familiar in other areas of Bangkok in the present day, which many people feel is the result of over-development and the constant influx of strangers.<\/p>\n<p>You can access some of Thonburi\u2019s famous landmarks by using public transport like the BTS Skytrain. But many people would agree that the best way to get to this stretch of Bangkok is by river, usually on the Chao Phraya Express Riverboat service.<\/p>\n<p>So if you want to get away from the main tourist spots of central Bangkok and its materialistic shopping mall trail and find a more authentic glimpse into the city, head west.

It is one of the oldest in the city, and is set on the Thonburi bank of the Chao Phraya River. Wat Arun is also known as \u2018The Temple of the Dawn&#8217;, and is definitely not to be missed on any visit to the city. Because of its age the temple is also quite unique in design, and stands out quite significantly from many of the other temples that you may be likely to see around the city.<\/p>\n<p>Wat Arun is an unmistakable part of the riverside skyline and is particularly stunning as evening falls and it becomes lit up as the sun sets. It is comprised of colourfully decorated spires and has a majestic kind of presence next to the water. It can get quite busy with tourist, especially during peak season, and early morning is the best time to visit.<\/p>\n<h6>Location:&nbsp;158 Wang Doem Road, Wat Arun, Bangkok Yai, Bangkok 10600, Thailand<\/h6>\n<h6>Open:&nbsp;Daily from 8am to 5.30pm<\/h6>\n<h6>Phone:&nbsp;+66 (0)2 891 2185<\/h6>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>\n<h4>Wat Kalayanamit<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div id=\"attachment_74298\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/kalayanamit.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-74298\" class=\"size-full wp-image-74298\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/kalayanamit.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/kalayanamit.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/kalayanamit-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-74298\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image from creativecommons.org<\/p><\/div>\n<p>It\u2019s true that Wat Arun is the main temple in this region of the city that people go to visit.

You might notice the old Bangrak Fire Station, the Sino-Portuguese buildings, and even the normally well-concealed Portuguese Embassy.<\/p>\n<p>Then there is the equally magnificent Assumption Cathedral of Bangkok, and the impressive First Siam Commercial Bank, all of which look the grander from such an elevated viewing position.<\/p>\n<p>The wines and cocktails ae unlikely to be the cheapest that you\u2019ll find in the city, but the glasses are a generous size, and stopping by this amazing spot even for an hour will make your night that much more interesting.<\/p>\n<h6>Location:&nbsp;Millennium Hilton Bangkok, 32nd floor, 123 Charoennakorn Road, Klongsan, Bangkok 10600, Thailand<\/h6>\n<h6>Open:&nbsp;Daily from 5am to 1am<\/h6>\n<h6>Phone:&nbsp;+66 (0)2 442 2000<\/h6>\n<ol start=\"6\">\n<li>\n<h4>Baan Silapin (Artist\u2019s House)<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div id=\"attachment_74304\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/by-ashabot.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-74304\" class=\"size-full wp-image-74304\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/by-ashabot.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/by-ashabot.jpg 924w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/by-ashabot-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/by-ashabot-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/by-ashabot-816x612.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-74304\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image by ashabot from creativecommons.org<\/p><\/div>\n<p>So Baan Silapin translates as Artist\u2019s House, and that\u2019s exactly what this 200-year-old wooden house is. Located right on the on the water\u2019s edge, the house exhibits various types of art including paintings, clothes, masks, puppets, carvings and statues. The Artist House is a little off the beaten track in terms of the average trail, and so goes under the radar of many visitors to the area.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s worth checking out though if you are remotely interested in Thai and Bangkok culture, and there are a couple of interesting features to the house. Amazingly, there is a chedi (temple spire) hidden away in the middle of the house that apparently dates back 600 years!<\/p>\n<p>Traditional Thai puppet shows are presented, usually on a daily basis, on a small wooden stage in the house. There is also a small restaurant coffee shop on the premises.<\/p>\n<h6>Location:&nbsp;Soi 28, Wat Kuhasawan, Thonburi, Bangkok Thailand<\/h6>\n<h6>Open:&nbsp;Daily from 10am to 6pm<\/h6>\n<h6>Phone:&nbsp;+66 (0)2 868 5279<\/h6>\n<ol start=\"7\">\n<li>\n<h4>Khlong Lat Mayom Floating Market<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div id=\"attachment_74306\" style=\"width: 778px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/floating.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-74306\" class=\"size-full wp-image-74306\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/floating.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/floating.jpg 693w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/floating-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-74306\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image from creativecommons.org<\/p><\/div>\n<p>This is one of the closest traditional floating markets to Bangkok. It is about 10 km east of the city, and not too far from Thonburi\u2019s Wongwian Yai BTS Skytrain Station. (You won\u2019t be able to get the way there this way though, and may need an additional Grab car or taxi).<\/p>\n<p>This local market is nothing like some of the more famous ones on the tourist trails in terms of size. It does give some authentic insights into local culture though, and is fun and cheap. You\u2019ll see many different variations on the theme of Thai food in a place like this, and although you are unlikely to encounter anyone who speaks your language here, you will find the charm of an authentic, local, Thai floating market.<\/p>\n<p>The canal at Khlong Lat Mayom is actually quite narrow. This means just a handful of boats next to the bank, right below a bridge that is pretty low. Some of the boats prepare meals, and patrons sit at low tables on the waterfront. Some people sit on small wooden stools and order various dishes cooked on the boats.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the fare available is along the lines of noodle-based dishes such as boat noodles, pad Thai, and <em>kanom jeen<\/em>&nbsp;(cold rice vermicelli). There are also various omelettes and other \u2018fast food\u2019 type dishes. It certainly won\u2019t be expensive, and there are usually drinks being sold by a cart vendor.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There is another, larger section to the market which is on the land, with fresh fruit and vegetables on one side, and all manner of snacks, desserts, and freshly-prepared food on the other. You\u2019ll find the highly colourful stocks of tropical fruits quite exotic-looking, and inside the market there are other items like cheap clothing, home accessories, toys, and even fresh flowers.<\/p>\n<p>There is another similar market within less than 5kms\u2019 range of the market. It is at Taling Chan, and many people who make the trip to Khlong Lat Mayom often go on to the other on afterwards to make it more worthwhile.<\/p>\n<p>You can get to Taling Chan by hopping on a long-tail boat, and you will get further insights to the local life in the area, getting away from the thrall of Bangkok at the same time.<\/p>\n<h6>Location:&nbsp;15 30\/1 Bang Ramat Rd, Bang Ramat, Taling Chan, Bangkok 10170, Thailand<\/h6>\n<h6>Open:&nbsp;Saturdays\u2013Sundays from 8am to 5pm (closed on weekdays)<\/h6>\n<ol start=\"8\">\n<li>\n<h4>The Royal Barges Museum<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>This is the museum where you can take a closer look at some unique and impressive-looking Thai barges.
