Central Thailand Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

This cave was discovered about 200 years ago and was named Phraya Nakhon Cave, the name of the discoverer. It cost me much sweating and tired muscles but it was worth the climb.
Wat Lokayasutharam located in the Ayutthaya Complex. It is the largest reclining Buddha in Thailand.
It's a floating hotel!   A lovely place to relax, if a little damp.  Beautiful to recline in your hammock and watch the stars (no electricity here).
One of sixteen gates into the complex of Wat Pho guarded by Chinese giants. Wat Pho is known for the enormous 45 meter long, reclining Budda and is also known as the center of Thai massage. 
The Grand Palace and the Chao Praya river are close by as other must-see sites.
#Architecture
Ancient City, or Muang Boran in Samut Prakan is Thailand's version of Nayong Pilipino. Ancient structures of Thailand are showcased together with the locals' architectural craftmanship where replicas are meticulously designed in every nook and cranny from floor to ceiling almost looking like those were the original.

Bangkok City Centre
Enjoyed a morning at the famous RBSC. This club has everything and is situated in the new heart of Bangkok. If you get the opportunity, do visit. They have a horse racing track and have events open to the public. If you are a tennis fan they have the only grass tennis courts in the city.  It is amazing how much space this property takes up in the heart of the city. #architecture

So much potential but the rooms need a refresh and a good clean. They smell strongly of cigarettes.

Still had a mild smell of ...
