"Muang Boran - the 'Ancient City of Siam' - is, in my opinion, unique!!!
Some describe it as the largest open air museum in the world. However one describes it, there is no other museum or cultural experience or theme park which approaches its subject matter in quite this way.
This site, it's layout, and all the exhibits contained within, betray a very clear and deep pride and passion by the designers for the cultural history of their country, and a desire to show it to the world.
For tourists visiting Thailand and Bangkok, Muang Boran offers two things. It offers a peaceful, attractive respite from the city, and it offers a one day introduction to all that is special about this country and its cultural history. As the reputation of Muang Boran grows, I trust the site will retain its gentle appeal, whilst becoming the major tourist attraction it truly deserves to be. Today, the 'Ancient City of Siam' is one place I would recommend to anyone who visits this nation of Thailand."
People generally visualise "flower markets" as just flower markets, but this is far from the truth at "Pak Klong Talaat" (local name for Bangkok Wholesale Flower markets).
Located close to Chao Phraya River, cultivated and the Chinese traders in the tour zone of Chinatown, this activity is loaded with adventure.
Intensity of floral (is that possible)
megatrons of street food
The demand for floral in Bangkok/Thailand is massive and it's all happening in this little zone, it's chaos, it's fascinating, it's an enormous infusion of culture, magnificent aromas and abundance of people engaging in street food activities. It's another wonderful "Grass roots" tour opportunity with loads of tour Icons nearby.
An evening adventure that can be described as an Iconic frenzy scene that's immensely fascinating.
It looks like a 1km stretch of main road COMPLETELY packed with flowers fruit and Veg, but that's just the start, down each side Soi is more and more traders pampering their beauties.
The Pak Khlong Talaat ("Talaat" means "market") is mainly, a wholesale market for fruit and vegetables, but also a consumers market.
Bangkok, 10 February, 2015 – Thailand’s vibrant capital Bangkok has been once again voted as one of the World’s Top 20 Destinations to Visit according to voters in the “2015 Travellers’ Favourites Awards” run by renowned travel website, gogobot.com.

The Awards, now in their third year, are aimed at celebrating the best places gogobot members have enjoyed as they travelled the world, and categories include best hotels, restaurants, beaches and tours. The best destinations are the foremost category and Bangkok claimed the 12th spot in the top 20 which included famous cities; such as, New York, London and Las Vegas.
The website praised the Thai capital for its vibrant streets with their characteristic “cacophony of sounds” and world-famous street goods. Bangkok’s value for money and easy-going culture also made it stand out.
TAT Governor, Mr. Thawatchai Arunyik said, “It’s great that travellers from around the world appreciate the special qualities that make Bangkok an exotic and exciting destination. The city offers all the comforts and conveniences of any world metropolis, but there are elements that make it uniquely Thai – our peaceful temples, amazing food to be enjoyed everywhere, from street-sides to five-star rooftops, the rich history, modern entertainment and the ever-present smiles on the faces of the people. This very Thai blend makes the city so memorable.”
This was the second time Bangkok was voted a Top Destination by gogbot members. Last year, the city took 10th place in the international rankings with the architecture, bars and temples being singled out for praise.
Yaowarat (Bangkok’s Chinatown)
It is not just Bangkok’s attractions getting international attention. Its Wi-Fi capabilities have also impressed observers. The city recently ranked 22nd from 50 internationally on the website hotelwifitest.com, for the quality of Wi-Fi services offered in hotels.
