However, we stayed at the Holiday Inn Express Bangkok Sathorn at Jong Nasi Station, which is a bit away from Central World. In addition, we took GrabTaxi several times at that time, and found it easy and addictive. We simply called a taxi directly from the hotel. The one-way trip was about 150 baht.

Dalinjiang Market
When walking from the T-shaped intersection to the Dalinjiang Floating Market, it was a market where agricultural and fishery products were exhibited and sold at the beginning. The straight road was lined with various stalls selling flowers, gardening supplies, vegetables and fruits, various Thai snacks or small shops. Jewelry and various products may not be very exquisite, but the types are very diverse and the degree of repetition is not too high. They are quite local products and will not feel too commercial.

At that time, I wanted to take the 1-hour itinerary, but at the time it seemed that only 2.5-hour Orchid Garden itinerary was sold on the spot. I wanted to understand the sailing schedule and other details of the itinerary. Give up!We also followed very casually, just walking around the waterfront.

The Dalinjiang Floating Market is actually a riverside market. The stalls are the boats on the water. There are not many stalls. The main thing is that you can come and eat cheap seafood.If there is enough time, of course, arrange a cruise to see the houses on the water on both sides of the strait.As previously suggested, the floating market is a very worthwhile itinerary, after all, this is unique to Thailand.
With the title of Oriental Venice, Bangkok has vertical and horizontal waterways, well-developed and busy water transportation, and a floating market with both history and tradition. It also brings a strong Thai-style cultural landscape.More importantly, many experts have warned that Bangkok will be like Venice, where the entire city will sink below sea level and become a real city of water.what! ! (Shocked)
According to the report of the research group established by the National Reform Commission of Thailand, the urban area of Bangkok is only about 0.5-2 meters above sea level. The greenhouse effect has caused sea level rise, the density of high-rise buildings in the urban area is too high and continuous construction, and the long-term super pumping of groundwater Under such factors, even more experts boldly predict that by 2030, the urban area of Bangkok will be below sea level, and this has also been a national issue that has attracted much attention in Bangkok for many years.
Of course, for Thais who are naturally optimistic, they are not afraid of the sky falling down. Even if the ground sinks in the water, I believe there will be many humorous ways to deal with it.Not afraid, not afraid!At that time, the whole city will be my floating market, just as the Prime Minister of Thailand Prayut promoted the brand new Phra Tun Khong Khong Kasen Canal Floating Market in early 2015.
