Meeting Point
Meet up at BTS On Nut
- We’ll meet right in front of Century The Movie Plaza Sukhumvit (connected to BTS On Nut Station). From there, we’ll catch the BTS Skytrain heading south to BTS Pak Nam Station. The train ride takes exactly 23 minutes, giving us a comfortable, air-conditioned glimpse of the outer suburbs.
Ferry Crossing & Phra Samut Chedi
Once we arrive at Pak Nam, we’ll take a short walk to the pier and hop on a local ferry to cross the Chao Phraya River. Our destination is Phra Samut Chedi (often called the 'Floating Pagoda'). Built in the early 19th century, this iconic white chedi used to sit right on a small island in the middle of the river, serving as a spiritual beacon for sailors coming into Thailand. Today, the surrounding water has been reclaimed, but it remains a deeply sacred site for locals, rich in history and completely free from the usual temple crowds.
Sunset by the River
We’ll take the ferry back to the Pak Nam side just in time for the golden hour. We'll take a leisurely stroll along the riverside promenade to soak in the breeze, watch the boats pass by, and snap some beautiful sunset photos.
Stroll & Shop at the Night Market
We’ll take a relaxing walk through the bustling market lanes. You can browse through local goods, enjoy the colorful stalls, and see how locals spend their evenings. (Feel free to grab a light snack or a refreshing drink along the way if something catches your eye!)
Head Back to Bangkok
After the local market tour, we’ll walk back to the BTS station and take the train back to the city.
