On a lazy Sunday, My husband and I along with the thai class group (Jovelle (filipino), Moni (Cambodian), Said (Kahsmiri) accompanied by Ajan Miaow (Thai) was waiting for the van which will take us to Samut Songkhram (Gulf of Siam). For more photos please click here.
The first stop was breakfast or should I say brunch. Delicious scallops at 20bht for 5 pcs straight from the griller, miles and miles of sandbed due to low tide (you can hired a boat to the sea - half hour ride for only 50bht!) and ohhhhh so fresh seafood, which locals have for picnics with around Don Hoi Lot.
Stopping at one very interesting temple (Wat), the most famous abot's body still in pristine condition is kept at a glass room where devotees can visit and pay merits. Near the glass room there's a beautiful stuppa containing the Lord Buddha's relic surrounded by golden mystical statues.
Last but not least is the Talat Nam Amphawa! Beautiful shops, a bit of the old, a bit of the young. Wonderful food, loads to shop about and a thriving floating market where we had our delicious porky noodle soup.
We finished the trip with a boat ride to see the fireflies. It was a good ending for a good trip.
