After walk out from elevator, we enter via an encapsulated vertical garden and walk on the Staircases made of wood with a combination of artificial grass covered walls, organic vines and a big mirror.

Although the corridor entrance to the outdoor is Design simplicity, but pay attention to its left design, it is a bit like a maze design. The scene is stylish and without the formal atmosphere typical of rooftops.

日本 -东京 (Part 29 #迪斯尼海洋 – 2 )

我的#日本 #东京 之旅 (Part 29) #迪斯尼海洋 – 2

在游玩那美丽的迪斯尼海洋南欧小镇“地中海港口”后，就在继续我们的冒险旅程，现在就让我们到“地心历险记”作为设施故事背景的“神秘岛”。

神秘岛中心巨大普罗米修斯火山是它的核心和最显出的特征同时也是尼莫船長的研究基地。普罗米修斯山的地底行走車采用电脑控制与迪斯尼未来世界的跑道相似的技术。“地心之旅”的惊险之旅，你会听到那恐怖及尖叫的呐喊声。

之前我们曾在上海的迪斯尼乐园玩过它的未来世界我觉好恐怖。但我们看这儿更恐怖，所以我决定放弃不玩。如果你想试试你的胆量就过来玩吧。

搭乘地心电梯的轨道隐藏在山内，一场黑暗的惊险之旅让我们发现了地球深处的秘密以及尼莫船长隐藏的海底基地。跟随我们登上尼摩船长的潜艇，探索那梦幻般2万米深海洋世界的任务。

在迪士尼海洋中，神秘岛是你可以探险的地方之一，但我们并不认为它已经结束站。我们把它作为起点因为那儿有着表演节目和游乐设施。

看，那一千零一夜故事里的阿拉丁魔法地毯来载我们沿着阿拉伯海岸体验着那充满着神奇与神秘的阿拉伯之夜的世界。

 
我们与故事里的辛巴达一起开启了冒险之旅。PU!PU!，与水手辛巴达和小悦虎的扬帆航向未知的大海了！！！快登上船与他们一起出发吧！让我们在这黑暗的旅途一起迈向充满勇气与友情的冒险。只要相信心中的罗盘，就一定能找到世上最珍贵的宝。身处在那黑暗的旅程在看看你左右两旁那逼真会动的人偶，又是一趟不一样的旅程。在这宫殿庭院里，有一个大人小孩都爱的双层式旋转木马，里头有以神灯精灵，骆驼等多种造型。在迪士尼海洋，坐上飞天魔毯，在茉莉公主的庭院上自由飞翔。

 

 

 

 

在那，我们观看自称世界上最大的魔术师夏旁和性格开朗的神灯精灵精彩的魔术表演。注意：在迪士尼海洋中，不要在剧院内拍照。对于我们来说，这是一个非常棒的节目。它把真人秀，魔术表演与3D神灯精灵结为一体看得我们

开怀大笑。P/S:虽然全程都是以日语为主。接着我们步行到迪斯尼海洋中美洲的丛林深处，有着古代文明的遗迹“失落河三角洲”探险去。在废墟之中我们发现到一座墨西哥遗迹阿兹特克金字塔遗迹。由于季节性，印第安纳琼斯冒险旅程，水晶骷髅头魔宫游乐设施暂时关闭。

 

我们又再去观看了节目表演，名为“走出黑暗森林”。在迷失的黑暗一位名为梅的少女是如何走出黑暗的森林。虽然我们在观看不同的表演节目时占用了大量的时间，但迪士尼海洋节目是有水准，所以我们认为这是物有所值。

在迪斯尼海洋，你也可选择乘坐渡轮，白天你可开启一段充满惊险的冒险之旅；夜晚让倒映在水面的璀璨灯光为您带来如梦似幻的浪漫之旅。

未完待续。。。。。

日本 – 东京 (Part 28 #迪斯尼海洋 – 1)

我的#日本 #东京 之旅 (Part 28) #迪斯尼海洋 – 1

东京迪士尼海洋其中个象征地标「水之行星」（AquaSphere），这是一座有着大型地球模型的喷泉，为在入口广场。

我们有个梦想就是玩遍全世界的迪斯尼。作为一个巨大的迪士尼爱好者，续上海迪斯尼后，我们当然不会错过在东京之旅参观迪斯尼度假区。每次对我们来说踏入迪斯尼，就好像走进了另一个不同的小镇一样。身在这美丽及奇幻的小镇，我们可以体验奇妙，冒险的生活和感受那梦幻及美妙的感觉。

是的, 我相信很多人都很熟悉迪斯尼，但是在日本东京却有座世界唯一的迪斯尼海洋。当然，不论是陆地还是海洋的迪斯尼主题公园都是令人难以置信的神奇及梦幻之地，并体验着里头无穷的乐趣。当然，如有你有足够的时间我们建议大家可购买3天或4天的迪斯尼通票，以尽情的游玩享受东京迪斯尼度假区的两个主题乐园。

 

 

表演者以东京迪士尼海洋另一个象征地标第位在整个乐园中央的「普罗美修士火山」背景表演。

好像处在欧洲小镇

在单轨列车自拍

我们许多人的心都跟着迪斯尼乐园一起成长，在大家童年时我们对迪斯尼乐园有着一股的憧憬。所以来到这迪斯尼乐园，大家童年的回忆都一幕幕浮现在脑海里。迪斯尼乐园与迪斯尼海洋的不同之处是迪斯尼乐园是有历史和经典的乐园同时它也是迪斯尼主题乐园的创始者。

然而迪斯尼海洋虽然是适合各年琳娜层可是它的设定更加以成年客为主。该乐园提供比东京迪士尼乐园更广泛的餐桌服务选择，与东京迪斯尼乐园不同之处是该乐园有提供者酒精饮料。两个主题乐园一日票的价格为相同，都是7400 日元。

而我们的行程是一日游，所以我们就选择了东京迪斯尼海洋。它是一座把海洋大冒险和创想的大海打造在这乐园，乐园的七个主题海港把大家的“EPCOT”心及梦想给拉近了。它的所有主题区域国家的气氛和装饰都非常逼真，让我们仿佛身在其中的感觉。

这是里头其中一栋酒店

迪士尼海洋的港口

位于迪斯尼海洋景区里头的酒店。

看，我们今天遇到谁？你今天有抬车吗？

跟随者我们乘搭者电动列车前往这奇妙，神奇，冒险的小镇吧。乘迪士尼度假区线，一条环绕东京迪士尼度假区的单轨列车，在JR舞滨站和度假村内的主要目的地之间提供交通服务。不论你在哪站下站，票价统一为单程260元，而我们当然是在迪斯尼海洋下站哦。注意： 此处可用“Pasmo 卡”。

在迪斯尼度假村乐园，如果你使用快速通行证就可免排队，以最少排队的时间玩尽所有你最爱的游乐设施。这些机器位于出入口旁边，您只需扫描打印的电子票上的QR码即可获得印有指定时间段的快速通行证。可是快速通行证的数量有限，而且快速通行证的机器的队伍有时需排长达一小时。

所以我们决定不要使用快速通行证而直接进入东京迪斯尼海洋。东京迪士尼海洋有两个象征地标。第一个是「水之行星」（AquaSphere），这是一座有着大型地球模型的喷泉，为在入口广场。第二个是位在整个乐园中央的「普罗美修士火山」。

 

乐园整体以航海探索为主题。因受海洋的传说和故事启发，东京迪斯尼海洋是以七大海港为主题。所以到这你会有一种时光海港旅游之旅的错觉，以为自己真的到了不同国家的海港。乐园入口处是地中海港口，并同时有六个航海主题港口：美国海滨，发现港，失落河三角洲，阿拉伯海岸，阿拉伯海岸，美人魚礁湖，神秘島。

请记住：您必须从工作人员手中接过迪士尼海洋指南地图，如果您想要观看令人难忘的迪士尼娱乐节目，请留意入口处附近的布告板节目时间。

入口处附近的布告板节目时间

首先，我们先看到的是“地中海港口”，它是以南欧的海港小镇为主题，风格参考了文艺复兴时期地中海意大利西北方的菲诺港，五渔村，威尼斯的运河，葡萄牙和西班牙海岸边的要塞等地点。可是它的游乐设施与表演很少，以商店和餐厅为主。此外，地中海港湾内还有「东京迪士尼海洋观海景大饭店」，它是东京迪士尼海洋公园最重要和突破性的特色之一。

Thailand – Bangkok 2018 ( Part 10 Taling Chan Floating Market)

Our #Thailand #Bangkok Travel (Part 10 #TalingChanFloatingMarket)

Boats🚤🚤 🚤sold with different kinds of food are a trademark attraction among the Thailand. It also known as Floating Market where they originate from a time when water transport played an important role in daily life.

Although today the roads of Thailand are now able to connect to most of the city, town, some farmer boats are still used to travel and make the market. One of their purposes is to allow domestic visitors and international tourists to be able to experience the culture of riverside shopping. In Bangkok, the most popular markets are Damnoen Saduak (100 km from Bangkok southwest) and Amphawa district( 72 km from Bangkok, a tourist attraction for local and traveller where merchandise place.

Taling Chan Floating Market is small and still fairly traditional where only open on Saturday and Sunday from 07.00 -16.00. Although is a smaller floating market but you still can enjoy of take a shopping around street market, short of boat trip, and…Plus, eat some local food and seafood at riverside market. It more likes the food Floating Market.

OK!! let`s go, let’s go to Tailing Chan Floating Market. We take the sky strain🚊🚊🚊 to the nearly station and take the taxi🚖🚖🚖 to the entrance of market.

Before entry the floating market you can see the market outside.

Some local fruits sell at here.

Waiting for the boat.

See, we see the children play at the water

Once we hop off, we find market stalls onto the nearby covered street where vendors sell various types of beautiful flowers and shrubs. Bright, colorful, and unique plants🌻🌱can be had with a relatively cheaper price. Once after walk the botanical section, we continue on through the busy stalls whose have selling everything from souvenir to locally harvested tropical fruit🍌🍍.

Along the walking street portion of the market, appetizing aromas from the plethora of food stalls entice you easy to find a lot of different variety Thai street food, snacks and drink🥤🥤.

You just buy the ticket from the worker at ticket counter and wait on the Taling Chan Pier. Ride on a beautifully decorated long-tail boat down the winding waterways round trip to the temple and feel local touch to the whole experience.

Sit on the boat, It always feel relax and refreshing😗😗😗while breeze blow to us, look the lush greenery overflowing into the water and at the life of people living by the water. We can hardly imagine that this simple township is still preserved in this metropolis of Bangkok. The boat tours ride for a quite ride through the canals that overlook the residences of local residents; whether it is a modern brick-concrete structure and a traditional characteristic house. Many people were hanging out on their porches, waving🖐🖐🖐 and smiling to us as we passed.

The boat we sit 🙂 

A lot of fish and be careful that river will spray you

In the middle of the cruise, the boat would lean against a pier and you can buy the grain granule to feed the fish in the river. The fish in the river will flock to grab food, so you must be careful that the river will spray on you. During the boat trip, we also saw children playing in the river; we don’t know why we have a feel of went back to the old Bangkok. Although it is not 100% like the old Bangkok, it still retains some shadows on the banks of the traditional Bangkok River. At the end of the boat trip, we would get off the boat and wander through the temple along the canals. The boat trip is taking about an hour and ride back to Taling Chan Pier.

Feeling hungrier? After getting down from boat, you will find both of your side selling the dishes. Eating traditional food that’s been prepared on a boat and the boats are positioned along the edge of the pier. Plentiful seafood is prominent feature, most of seafood cooking on barbecues from enormous grilled salt-crusted whole fish🐟 🐟to prawns🦐🦐crabs🦀🦀, scallops, mussels and more. Aside from the seafood, expect Thai market staples like noodle soups, meat satay skewers, hoy tod mussel omelettes, pad thai, and somtum papaya salad alongside an array of accompanying northeastern Thai dishes.

The tables and chairs here are very interesting, it is not the table and chairs we usually dine. So we just like local Thai, remove our shoes and sit on the low tables on raised platforms. We take some order for combination of dishes with around us. Order a salt-crusted grilled fish🐟 🐟with lemongrass cost around 150 Baht. One of our favorite Thai food. It is so fresh and fabulous. Eat pad thai, noodle soup🍜 🍜and clam with price around 40 Baht to 60 Baht. Although the serving is small but we no care the most important the dishes is delicious😋😋😋.

We are sit and relax with eat our lunch by the river, jovial atmosphere and we enjoy all of this with feels like ‘local Thai”. Tune into local Thai traditional musicians as they play their instruments for few hours in the center of the market for an added authentic touch. After you’ve tired out your feet, you can stop by for a Thai foot massage. However, we did enjoy our time there.

A fish you must try at here.

日本 – 东京 之旅 2018 (Part 27) 皇居

我的#日本 #东京 之旅 (Part 27) #皇居

名为“富士见橹” – 重建于1659年江户城的遗迹中最为古老的三层橹楼 

虽然皇宫坐落在东京市中心，但四周却被漂亮的护城河和覆盖着树木的场地包围着，这是繁华都市中少见珍贵的自然风景。皇居有三个花园是免费开放于大众。其中有我们之前于游玩及讲解的东京御苑东御苑（皇宫东园），小京外苑（皇宫外园）和北丸之谷公园。这里是东京市最大的绿色地区，其场地受到细心的照顾，是游客参观的首选目的地。

然而，任何对历史，文化和自然有兴趣的人也不会错过参观天皇居住的地方“皇居”。皇居是江户时代德川历代将军的居城。在1868年明治维新后，天皇把居住了一千多年的皇居从京都迁到了东京。

Thailand – Bangkok 2018 ( Part 9 MBK Shopping Center )

Our #Thailand #Bangkok (Part 9 #MBKShoppingCenter)

The city of Bangkok is undergoing massive change and development, from the street markets to the planning of large infrastructure projects .With development, Bangkok is definitely a paradise for all shopaholics. The massive, modern, multi-storey shopping malls provide a myriad of choices for every budget and need. Prices are reasonable, quality generally high and the range and variety is pretty amazing – silks, gemstones, tailor-made clothes and traditional handicrafts are all highlights of Bangkok shopping. From the most luxurious to the cheapest, it including clothing👗👔, shoes👠👞 bags👜👛, apparels, jewelry💍💍, to branded luxury goods and even electronic devices such as mobile phones and laptop computers💻💻, you can find almost anything of your fancy here.

Ok, we admit that we are the shopping queen. We love shopping🛍🛍🛍; in Bangkok we can treat our self without overspending😊😊😊. During our trip, we prepared an empty luggage to Thailand for buy something goods. But Bangkok also known as produces first-class fake goods. Fake goods of all types abound and can be bought at a fraction of a cost of originals. For our suggestion, if you want beware fakes goods, you can same as us buy the goods in the shopping mall or store which have the Refund Tax counter. 

We love shopping so much.

For our shopping trip, the first stop we chose MBK Shopping Center🏙🏙🏙, the largest shopping mall in Asia when it opened in 1985. Since then, many malls in Thailand have outdone MBK in size especially nearby Central World and Siam Paragon. Even so, the price of goods more acceptable for local Thai so its attract and the majority of shoppers are Bangkok residents also popular with tourists. With total of 8 floors and more than 2,000 stores, many stores selling authentic merchandise are also available.

One of the main cause, we go to shopping in MBK Shopping Center is 4-story Tokyu Department Store. Tokyu Department Store is a Japanese department store chain;This is a department store that meets the needs of diverse age groups. It always visits by many Thai residents and tourists. The department store more focus on Japan branded and goods meanwhile sells branded fashion items, gadgets and cosmetics💄💄💄 mainly. It also dedicated to men goods and business wear👔👔👔, filled with sportswear👕👕👕, household and electrical, watches and stationary✏🖋. It’s also having provided duty-free counter.

Let’s face it: We like shopping, and travel shopping abroad is often as interesting as treasure hunt. Shopping in Tokyu Department Store, as a shopper hunter quick discover sports shoes👟👟👟 and buy it when wear for comfort. Discovery Casio Watches⌚⌚⌚ buy it, not only I like its designs and the suitable price with original goods. Oh! Feel joyous for buy of them😘😘😘.

You can find some international brand at Tokyu Department Store

A counter for refund tax at Tokyu Department Store

he number fashion store in MBK Shopping Center is less compared to other shopping mall. If you are searching for camera📷📷 and hand phone📱📱, MBK Shopping Center has a huge numbers of electronic suppliers are available to meet your demand. You can find a plenty of various gadgets and devices in countless electronics stores. Variety and accessory of camera can find in MBK Shopping Center. Whether it’s brand-new or second-hand hand phones, you can buy them, or even if you face the hand phone broken you also get them fixed by skillful mobile phone repair technicians here.

Looking for authentic Thailand handicrafts to decorate your home or to gift your relatives and friends？With skills that are passed down for generations, the art of Thai crafts has long been a reflection of Thai people’s creativity and ingenuity. One of reason tourists can’t miss going to MBK Shopping Center where you can buy well-crafted keepsakes from all provinces of Thailand. It includes a treasure trove of fine art and handicrafts, antique and semi-antique furniture, paintings🖼🖼, delicately carved jewellery, wood and stone carvings, masks🎭🎭, woven and dyed fabrics.

Bargaining when shopping is a way of life in many parts of Thailand, and MBK Shopping Center is no exception to this (Note: Tokyu Department Store is all priced, can’t bargain). Most vendors and staff at stores speak good enough English, though non-fixed prices are often bargained by you and the vendor taking turns in typing numbers into a calculator. It cause both loved and hated by the travellers.

Many of people say, now in the store in MBK Shopping Center are all clear of fakes except maybe for t-shirts with distinctive logos and such. But some of them remind that Sometimes their counterfeiting techniques are very realistic. If you ask us which are correct, we also don’t know, it depends on your view. 

Shopping also no forget to selfie

日本 – 东京 2018 （Part 26 皇居东御苑 ）

我的#日本 #东京 之旅 (Part 26) #皇居东御苑

东京车站周围虽有无数的高楼大厦，然而里头竟然还有个大儿美的花园，游览花园可能是最便宜和让自己放松的方式来享受这大城市。我们建议你把目前是日本皇室和皇室的官方住所的花园应该放在你其中一个游玩旅游景点。

在参观皇宫（稍后解释）的同时，我们也游玩了皇居东御苑。皇居东御苑建始于1961年，将皇居东区旧江户城的本丸、二之丸、三之丸的一部份整顿为皇居附属庭园。皇居东御苑也名为东京东御苑，包括原本丸和二丸丸地区，总面积21万平方米。 它仅有其中一部分的地方是开放于大众。虽然没有江户时代的原始建筑物，但仍然可以看到当时的护城河，城墙和入口大门，这也令人印象深刻。

不知为何我好爱这花园的石头哦。

哈哈哈，旅行最爱就是自拍

在这你可看到有些人在这野餐

位于皇居东御苑的建筑有东京音乐厅（Toukagakudo）和三藏丸子（帝国收藏馆），以及宫内厅音乐，档案馆和宫内厅书陵部。在本丸，我们可以看到一个大草坪，很多人坐在那放松着享受四周环境。

沿着路上的道路，我们看到一座城塔遺跡在丘陵上，那城塔曾是城堡最内层的建筑它就这么在我们的眼前。江户城是曾是德川将军的住所，于1638年建成并日本历史上最高的城堡塔。但仅在几年后的1657年，它就被一场遍及全市的大火摧毁，并且自此以后未被重建。

在这座被烧毁的城堡塔，只剩下墙壁的石块，我们可以近距离地看到用来建造城堡墙壁的巨大石块。 我们走上城堡塔大院的一部分，并俯瞰着一片洁净无暇的宽阔棕色草坪。在本丸地区也可以看到许多武士训练馆的遗迹。

如今只剩一部分的城堡塔

来到这儿不要错过二之丸具有江户时代风格漂亮的日本花园，里头栽种着日本各地的各种植物。本丸和二之丸是代表日本江户时代遗留的花园之一。

在东御苑的大手门的入口处你还可以参观帝国收藏博物馆。在博物馆里，我们看到珍贵的艺术品和工艺品的珍藏，通过帝国家族世代相传。这些收藏包括来自世界各地，各种时代和国家的艺术。注意：博物馆内是不允许照相。

我们最爱自怕了

Thailand – Bangkok 2018 (Part 8 Mae Nak Phra Khanong ) 2018

Our #Thailand #Bangkok Travel (Part 8 #MaeNakPhraKhanong )

Whether you believe in ghosts or not, belief in ghosts in Thai culture is both popular and enduring. In the history of Thailand Buddhist popular beliefs intermingled with the legends about the spirits or ghosts of the local folklore.

One of the popular urban legends in Bangkok and most popular ghosts👻👻👻 is that of Mae Nak and her child. Every Thai person has heard of Mae Nak, the tale of Mae Nak has been filmed several times over the past few decades and every movie was a box-office hit, cementing Mae Nak’s place in Thai popular culture. Even every Thai child growing up fed on ghost stories and almost some of them believe unequivocally in the facts of ghosts.

With unknown whether Mae Nak really existed or if her story is purely myth, we decided one of our Thailand travel planning is look for Mae Nak Phra Khanong. 

This is Nak and her baby

Before have a visit, firstly understanding for here’s the story circumstance. So, this time we would like to tell a story what happened in the Phra Khanong district of Bangkok in the middle of the 19th century.

Now follow us temporarily back to the 19th century; at that time, Bangkok was much more of jungle with many waterways🌫 🌫🌫and canals that cut through the city. The main form of transport in those days was by boat, and the lifestyle of the people was closely tied to the rivers and canals. Phra Khanong is one such small river that flows through the southeast outskirts of the capital, although back then the area was so rural that it was essentially part of the countryside.

The story is about a beautiful young woman named Nak, who lived on the banks of the Phra Khanong Canal and her undying love for her husband, Mak and expecting their first child together. Mak was sent away to war, as men during the age often were. Unfortunately, the birth was traumatic and both mother and child died😥😥😥, unbeknownst to Mak away at war. According to Thai belief, a pregnant woman who dies together with her child creates the most powerful and frightening type of ghost possible. Faced with such a bad omen, the villagers don’t carry out a proper cremation of the corpse according to Buddhist tradition, and instead they hastily bury the body in a shallow grave. They are buried immediately, but Nak’s spirit refuses to let go of the earthly realm. Simply say, it is strong belief.

When Mak returns home, however, he finds his loving wife and child waiting for him. Neighbours who try to warn him that he is living with a ghost are all killed by Nak. Slowly, Mak starts to realize that something isn’t right when his old friends and acquaintances in the village avoid him. Mak soon learns the truth and runs away in fear. Discovering her husband has fled, Nak is very angry😡😡😡 and pursues him. Mak then runs to Wat Mahabut temple, which a ghost cannot enter, as it is holy ground. In her grief, Nak terrorizes the people of Phra Khanong, furious at them for causing Mak to leave her. However, in the end, Nak’s ghost was conquered by a mana-high monk and trapped her in a crock and he throws it into the canal.

There are differing versions of the rest of the story. As far as the fate of Mak is concerned, in some versions he becomes a monk took the jar of Nak ghosts around with him. whereas in others he starts a new family. In some stories, Mae Nak reappears as an enraged ghost👻👻👻.

OK!! End of the story, let’s us go back to modern time. Her dwelling🏠🏠 and burial⚰ ⚰place is fabled to be located where the Mae Nak shrine sits to this day; behind of Wat Mahabut, the location is located in On Nut, Bangkok. We take the sky train🚊🚊🚊 to On Nut station and walk toward Wat Mahabut.

along the road you’ll notice many fortune tellers and shops selling a variety of offerings to offerings to Mae Nak and her baby.

You can buy from here to make your wish

All of these consecrate  are giving to female ghost Mae Nak 

Before arrived Wat Mahabut, along the road you’ll notice many fortune tellers and shops selling a variety of offerings to offerings to Mae Nak and her baby. It including flowers and candle, traditional Thai women’s clothing, cosmetic, handbag and children’s toys. You’ll find Mahabut temple at the end of this lane unlike the other temples in Bangkok, Wat Mahabut isn’t renowned for its historical legacy or its ancient architecture. At the same time, it’s famous for a ghost, a female ghost, the legendary Mae Nak who has virtually become a household name in the community and beyond. Note: make sure walk toward stall and through the road in row of stall.

We are arrived the canal with several of old house opposite the river. And these old houses are where the legendary female ghost Mae Nak lives with her husband. You can imagine and look back to 19 century ago of Mae Nak, it would have been completely rural. You can guess that ghost is living in one of the house. Some residents still rely on rowing plastic boats coming between banks of the canal.

The Mae Nak Shrine is at the back end of the temple grounds in the area right by the river, in a small wooden building. NOTE: Cannot use camera🚫📷 in the Mae Nak Shrine building but you can use hand phone for take the picture. The interior of the shrine is set up to look like female ghost Mae Nak living quarters. People bring her many consecrate including colourful dresses, handbag👜 👜cosmetic products💄💄, candy, flowers🌼🌼and candle🕯🕯 , toys, children clothes, food for her and her child👩‍👦. 👩‍👦.The television is always on during day and night.

Whatever the truth, the Mae Nak Shrine is an interesting attraction in Bangkok. People pray at her shrine, asking her spirit for bless lives with good fortune and safety. Some time you will see the local people also release blessings beside the canal. In Bangkok, you’re never far away from both the ultra-modern and the sacred-ancient, and this is what makes the city so fascinating. So while tourism in Bangkok, what could be more fun for visit a legend of ghost.

It’s about 1.6km distance from station to the Wat Mahabut. If you choose to walk, turn into On Nut road. During our walk distance, we would see a row of old building opposite of the road. After that, you would see the Big C supermarket. Walk straight for several hundred meters beyond, you should be at a several of old house along the sidewalk.
