Today, while driving down south, the two of us stopped at Porto Go Tha Chin. I believe that anyone who has passed this route must have stopped by. Everyone says that this is the starting point of their journey. But I personally like this place because it has a lot of food, both general stores and drive-thru stores. There is everything, both savory and sweet, whether it's KFC / Starbucks / Salapao Waraporn / Cha Tra Mue (the only drive-thru branch). And the facilities are no less, such as: - Air-conditioned bathrooms - Electric car chargers - Indoor walkway parking - 🐕Plus, this place is also pet-friendly.

Hello cafe hopping ☕️ Today, I'm here to review a newly opened coffee shop in Mahachai. I must say that it's super cool, super chic, beautiful from every angle, and has a classy personality. The shop is decorated in a minimal + authentic style. There's a large mirror for taking full-body photos, and there are many tables. You can sit and work, sip coffee, or take chic photos. Every corner is suitable. ☕️ In terms of coffee, we ordered an Americano, which tasted good. It had a slight nutty aroma. There were no roasts to choose from, but there were a lot of drinks on the menu. There was also cold-brew coffee (starting at 60 baht). 🧁 In terms of bakery, there are cakes, breads, and cookies to choose from. The prices are quite high, but after trying it, we knew that they used good quality ingredients. (I had the Chux Cream for 95 baht. It was delicious and had a super vanilla pod aroma.)

It was my first time riding a 3rd class train from the original station, Ban Laem, to Mae Klong Railway Station. Since my nephew is crazy about trains, he loves them the most. He wanted to ride and see them, so I got the benefit too. Along the way, we passed houses, rice fields, and forests. To be honest, I was a bit scared, but there is safety. The journey took 1 hour, and the price was 10 baht for adults and 5 baht for children. It was fun. Too bad I didn't plan properly, otherwise I would have brought shrimp, shellfish, crabs, and fish back to grill. But if anyone is interested in taking a train, I recommend this station. There aren't many people. The only crowd is at Nok Thong Meow at Mae Klong Station. #Ban Laem Railway Station #Visit Samut Sakhon

✨ Travel by Train Samut Sakhon From Wongwian Yai Railway Station to Mahachai Station, cross the river to Tha Chalom. We will take you to visit 5 beautiful temples that we would like to recommend. For those who love temples, merit-making, and spiritual worship, you must stop by 💯 🔶 Let's start at the Samut Sakhon City Pillar Shrine or Chao Pho Wichian Choti, Mahachai Subdistrict. It is built in the style of a Chinese pavilion. It is a sacred place and a center of the minds of fishermen in the province. Every time before going out to fish, fishermen must perform a ceremony to worship and light firecrackers in front of the shrine for good luck. Behind the shrine is a Thai-style building designed by artists from the Department of Fine Arts. Inside is the largest and most beautiful city pillar in Thailand. 🔶 Wat Laem Suwannaram, an old temple in Tha Chalom Subdistrict, is notable for its 300-year-old church, built entirely of wood and designed by Chinese craftsmen, so it has a blend of Thai and Chinese art. Around the church are 18 Buddha images, so it is called "18 Arahants Church". Inside the church is the principal Buddha image called "Luang Pho Dam". In addition, there is also Somdej Ong Phra Pathom Phra Phutthasikhi Chakraphat Muni Samputchayanti Sri Sakhon, a Buddha image dressed in royal attire. 🔶 Wat Yai Chom Prasat is located in Tha Chin Subdistrict. It is an ancient temple that is approximately 400 years old. It is believed to have been built since the Ayutthaya period. It is notable for its wooden door panels that are carved deep into the wood with 4 layers, giving it a 3D image. The Fine Arts Department registered it as a national art object in 1962. 🔶 Wat Lang San Prasit was built towards the end of the Thonburi period in 1780 and is located in Tha Chin Subdistrict. It is another temple with stunning beauty. And inside the temple, there are many sacred things enshrined, such as the Buddha image of Luang Por Tan Jai, the image of Phra Maha Kajjana, etc. 🔶 The last temple is Wat Suthiwat Wararam or Wat Chong Lom, located at the mouth of Samut Sakhon Bay, Tha Chalom Subdistrict. There are interesting things, such as the statue of King Chulalongkorn, built to honor his visit to Tha Chalom and establishing the first sanitary district in Thailand, and the temple of Luang Pu Kaew, the former abbot. When he passed away, the faithful brought his remains in a beautiful gold urn, along with a statue of him in a meditation posture. Inside the temple, there are also thousands of swallows living and nesting. 🚗 When visiting Samut Sakhon, Mahachai Subdistrict, Tha Chalom, and Tha Chin, don't forget to stop by to pay homage to the sacred objects of the province for good fortune. 🙏🙏

#Places to visit near Bangkok Samut Sakhon Province has stories of important people who have influenced the history of Thailand. Stories that have been passed down from generation to generation, such as “Phan Tay Norasing”, the helmsman of King Sua, who has “Phan Tay Norasing Shrine” for us to worship until today, in Samut Sakhon Province. Within the park, there is a mangrove forest study trail that has been preserved and is home to Wat San Phan Tay Norasing, as well as the Phan Tay Norasing Shrine, which was later rebuilt by the Fine Arts Department to replace the old one that collapsed because the old one was very dilapidated. Inside the shrine, there is a life-size statue of Phan Tay Norasing in a helm position, which is a spiritual refuge and highly respected by the villagers. Villagers like to come here to make a wish and when it comes true, they make an offering with boxing gloves, a paddle, or a glass chicken statue because historically, he liked boxing and cockfighting. In addition, in the shrine, there is the execution post of Phan Tay Norasing, as well as the remains of an ancient teak boat, which is made of large teak wood and is approximately 300 years old. #Worship and pray for blessings #Central Region Team

Today, Bomiko will take everyone to change their sleeping place. This place is not far from Bangkok and is also near a tourist attraction like Don Hoi Lot. Baan Talay See Kream Resort is a chain of accommodations in the Lung Khan restaurant group. From Bangkok, drive along Rama 2 Road, past the ring road into the city, turn left into Don Hoi Lot before reaching the Somdet Phra Phutthaloetla Naphalai Bridge (bridge across the Mae Klong River). Drive past Wat Satthatham, straight along the road, it will be on the left, in front of Don Hoi Lot. #Resort worth staying at #Resort near Bangkok

Riverside coffee shop in Phanthai area, very chill, atmosphere 100%. Both savory and sweet food, especially cakes, there are many varieties, very delicious too. There are private corners and chill corners, there are photo corners with a feeling like being by the sea. If you go, I recommend going when the shop opens and in the evening, you will see the sunset, very beautiful. The shop opens from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Hurry up and go sit and chill. After chilling, you can stop by to worship Buddha. You will gain merit and be full at the same time. #LifeAddictedToCafes

Phanthai Norasing Many people have heard the story and even made it into a movie about Phanthai Norasing. Today, Bomiko will take you to pay homage to the Phanthai Norasing Shrine. The shrine is just a short distance away and you will reach the Gulf of Thailand. Phanthai Norasing Shrine is located at the mouth of Khlong Khok Kham, Tambon Phanthai Norasing, Mueang Samut Sakhon District, Samut Sakhon Province. This Phanthai Norasing Shrine is the first one built as a memorial to the loyalty of Phanthai Norasing, a loyal boat captain who accepted the death penalty to maintain the royal traditions according to the rules of the Palace during the Ayutthaya period. It is believed to be the oldest Phanthai Norasing Shrine and is the point where it is believed that Phanthai Norasing was executed. A story from the past that is worth remembering because it is history. If you are interested in this, try searching for it. #WinterSeasideTravel #PhanthaiNorasingShrine

Newly opened coffee shop with a sea atmosphere in Samut Sakhon area The shop is located deep in Samut Sakhon province, on the beach of Ban Krasa Khao. I recommend driving according to Google Maps because it is quite deep. But when you get there, the atmosphere of the sea with the sea breeze blowing through makes you feel like you have escaped the chaos of the city. The atmosphere is very good, beyond description. The clean white shop stands out on the road. I went during low tide and the rainy season, which gave me the atmosphere of a mangrove forest. If I have the chance, I will go back again when the tide comes in while I am working in the salt fields. I will see another atmosphere that is expected to be lush with water. Opening hours: 11:00-18:00 hrs. The shop is closed every Wednesday. Shop location: Bang Krachao 29/11 Moo 1, Mueang, Samut Sakhon 74000 https://goo.gl/maps/v1VPQ5ZJidbEwQuc8 #LifeAddictedToCafes#SecretLocations#CafeReviews

Riverside cafe decorated in European style with a very romantic atmosphere. The shop is a glasshouse with a 180-degree view outside. There are both indoor and outdoor seating areas (pet friendly). Each area has a variety of unique photo spots. #cafe review

Phanthai Norasing Historical Park is located in Phanthai Norasing Subdistrict, at the place where the incident of the broken prow of the royal barge of King Suea occurred. It was built as a memorial to Phanthai Norasing, a villager from Narasing (currently Pa Mok District, Ang Thong Province), who served as the helmsman of the royal barge Ekkachai of King Sanphet VIII (King Suea) of Ayutthaya. When the royal barge reached Khlong Khok Kham, the canal was very winding, causing the prow of the barge to hit a large tree branch on the bank of Khlong Khok Kham, causing the prow of the barge to break and fall into the water. Phanthai Norasing asked King Suea to execute him according to the Palace Law.  King Suea reluctantly followed the royal decree, so he ordered the execution of Phanthai Norasing, and had a shrine built as high as his eyes. His head and the broken prow of the royal barge Ekkachai were placed as a sacrifice on the shrine as a memorial to show his loyalty and devotion. Inside the park is the Phanthai Norasing Shrine. Later, the Fine Arts Department built a new shrine to replace the old one that had collapsed. Inside the shrine is a life-size statue of Phan Thaksin, who is seen steering a boat and is highly revered by the locals.

If you go to Samut Sakhon Province, a restaurant you shouldn't miss is Jay Chai. Although the restaurant is not fancy, I must say that the taste is very good. This restaurant is considered a famous Yen Ta Fo and fish ball noodle restaurant in Mahachai. Don't miss the Yen Ta Fo noodles. The taste is well-rounded with a slight tofu aroma. It's very delicious. The restaurant is near the Samut Sakhon Fire Station, Sarasak Road, opposite Soi Sarasak 1. ⏰ 09.00-15.00 hrs.
