Saturday morning I got up late a lot. For holiday Think a holiday. Afternoon, which is likely to go.
Days prior to the site manager Suggest a coffee shop to see Vivi's good, but the love interest is the view of "Wat Arun" here think that the long boat that does not play Leisure holiday. I tend to invite home to Wat Phra Kaew to worship Lord Buddha image and sightseeing boat river. Evening will find the whole walk Chang. Today we should do that again.
Need to start at Si Phraya Pier. Because I want to Chao Phraya Express boat.

During the waiting ships. F asked the people waiting for seats on the boat. Should I go left or right when asked and walked to read the label. Description of signs that the boats by observing the three flags that flap on the three ships that are yellow, blue, orange in another sign to say that Tha boat park which will replace the abbreviation by which some of the waterfront that the PM and followed by numbers. Now I am on the third (Si Phraya), we need to 8 pm (Tha Tien) and I can ship up to two lines are yellow lines and orange lines.

No long waiting time f the boat satisfied. Enjoy sightseeing river.
So close to the vision in front of Wat Arun. I kept shooting.
The vertical wave from the boat and to see pictures of the temple.

Arrived.

I love this pier. It is a wooden row houses. From souvenir shops that sold the same collection.It then started dinner. The sale of the lot. Is focused on the craft of Thailand.
Have come here at night. To eat and drink liquor shop Po Tha Tien river scenery looked delicious sitting night
At night the area here Is intended to extend along the sides. The space center area for walking. However, if I drunk It makes me have to walk any stalk. Fear of a disturbance in the bed. But today is not image that atmosphere. It is not just the afternoon dinner.

But I have never before Vivi cafes to use navigation that is fitting to ask where the coffee shop “Vivi”?
Thai people always obliging. Whether any where. Through the hassle of storage to store. I still have enough time to explain. If I see a Shop Seven Eleven. I have to walk two Soi. Then to Soi 2. In sum, that each I want to go to the store. Enough to think that Shop Seven Eleven as existing everywhere in Thailand Become the key note of the path already described. Or this is a convenience that also SEVEN Eleven support you Ha..ha..

Walk over and see and shop. I add coffee to each other.

Decorated restaurant is cute watching people act one sitting most A comfortable group of friends talk indefinitely. Table below is a full sit out. Need to be seated inside the restaurant as it comes.

This is the table where I sit as a gay sofa can look through the glass. Out to see people sitting outside.

From the corner after a seat here. Rose has two fresh flower bouquet Chu. Notice that the table that we sit Placed a teddy bear.
Every corner of the shop are animal dolls placed almost anywhere. I do not know why. May be the owner's personal collection or as a form of decoration shop.
Not bad seats, I add nothing to taste each other. Walking to a snack from the cabinet. I order two different desserts is one of my water, add ice cream kiwi - Strawberry with cappuccino cool
Add to my son. Black Forest Cake with post Strawberry smoothies.

Asked if that work? Taste. Good or blank I would like depending on people.
Because time sitting in the shop. Customers who have purchased one home for dessert dessert only intend to buy.
No one living for me or other people sitting in the shop.

But for that I can add to the sound of two people for two Strawberry smoothies.
For dessert and coffee with plain ice is new, it was not anything different from that used to taste.

About the name here. The coffee shop to watch the beauty of Wat Arun on the other side of the river I have this picture.

It's the time. Noted that this evening because people are much more.
I should give someone else a chance to come sit. I get to the ferry ride sightseeing of Wang Lang Pier.Let's go to Tha Chang Pier.

Titles evening. At Tha Chang Pier. Tha Wang Lang Pier.
© the ride like the Ferry Pier Tha Chang. Which must pass Tharat Woradit. This is an important ceremony of the water of the king

Thailand Explorer : Watarun

Wat Arunrajawararam Rajaworamahavihara ( Wat Chaeng ) is situated on the west, or Thonburi bank of the Chao Phraya River opposite Wat Phra Chetuphon Wimonmangkhalaram (Wat Pho). Originally it was named Wat Makok, and later, Wat Makok Nok, as it was paired with Wat Makok Nai (Wat Nuan Noradis). It is said that after fighting his way out Ayutthaya, which was besigned by a Burmese army, King Taksin arrived at this temple just as down was breaking. He later had the temple renovated and renamed it Wat Chaeng, the Temple of the Dawn. During his reign, which is called the Thonburi Period, WatChaeng was the chief temple, and for time, there were enshrined the Emerald Buddha and another important Buddha image, the Phra Bang, both of which had been removed from Vientiane.
During the Bangkok Period, the temple has been renovated and extended, and it was given its present name by King Rama IV.
The most prominent structure, which stands in the front, is the phra prang. This is a Khmer-style chedi which is 81 meters high. Adjacent to this at each of four cardinal derection are smaller prang and mondop. All of these structures are decorated with brightly colored pieces of porcelain. Tourist often climb the stairs of the prang to gain a panoramic view of the city and the river. In days gone by when visitors from other lands arrived by sailing up the river, the prang was the landmark telling them they had at last arrived in Bangkok.
There is a great deal of interesting art in the temple. The murals in the phra ubosot were executed by artists during the reign of King Rama V. Around the phra ubosot are many Chinese statues as well as statues of elephant, and near its entrance are the statues of Nai Nok and Nai Reuang, two men who immolated themselves to attain anlightenment.

Thailand Explorer : The Story of Sanam Luang

Sanam Luang has been a place of central importance for the Thai people for centuries. Sanam Luang is Thai for royal ground, and it is a place where the King performs state ceremonies.
In the past, Sanam Luang was an open field located between the Grand Palace and the Palace of the Second King. It has been used as a site for the cremation of kings, queens and nobility since the reign of King Rama I. For this reason, in former ti mes it was officially known as Thung Phra Meru (cremation ground).
During the reign of King Rama III, when Thailand was engaged in a conflict with Vietnam, the King wished to demonstrate to other nations that Thailand was such a fertile, flourishing country that even the area in front of the Grand Palace was culti vated. Sanam Luang was then a normal plot of land, used for growing rice. When there was a Royal Funeral, it would be smoothed over to prepare for the event.
During the reign of King Rama IV, when the ground was still used for farming, King Rama IV changed its official name from Thung Phra Meru to Thung Sanam Luang.
Sanam Luang has been used as the cremation ground for all of Thailand's kings and Royal Family members except for King Rama VII, who died in England. The most recent cremation rite to be held there was for Queen Rambhai Barni, in 1986.
