Hi all,
It is time to leave Bangkok to Eastern seaboard. It is going to be a a lot of fun! We're visiting the "100-Years Market", a genuine Thai local weekend market, where you can see places of business from yesteryear, like barbers and herbalists, in their original setting.
In the same neighbourhood is the temple with the giant reclining Ganesha statue, also well worth a visit. Interesting garden and pond, and definitely great photos ops :)
Not far from the Ganesha is Chachoengsao's most famous temple, the most interesting sights at the temple, however, are not related to religion – they are the temple’s resident bats which reside in the trees within the temple grounds. They are the world’s largest bat species, the bats have a wolf-like face, reddish-brown fur and a nearly 1-meter wingspan.
Last but not least is visiting the temple on the sea, famous for it's huge amount of tiny bells which visitors (and their loved one(s)) inscribe and leave there.
Lunch will be overlooking the ocean at Bangpoo. You can also feed the seagulls there. They are famous for their tricks, like snapping up bread you throw before it hits the water, though be warned - they are not afraid of people and may sometimes come a little too close.
The ticket for this trip will be 950 THB. This will pay for your guide, the VIP van (+ driver + fuel). We will be visiting a restaurant overlooking the ocean for lunch, which provides great seafood. You can choose your own lunch here - this lunch is not included in the ticket price. Any personal shopping is naturally not included either.
To confirm your seat, please make a transfer 950 baht to the following account;
