Day 2: Exploring Along the MRT Blue Line

The next morning, I had breakfast at a local food market near my hotel. Though I barely spoke Thai, I managed to buy some delicious dishes with smiles and gestures.

From there, I walked to Si Lom Station and boarded the MRT Blue Line. My destination? The Khlong Bang Luang Floating Market, about seven stations away. After arriving at Bang Phai Station, I chose to walk rather than take a motorcycle ride.

Khlong Bang Luang is a quaint community where life continues amidst the influx of tourists. Along the river, you’ll find eateries, souvenir shops, and an art house perfect for art enthusiasts like me. There were also workshops where you could create bracelets and other accessories.

On the way back, I visited Sanam Chai Station, which I found to be one of the most beautiful MRT stations. There’s even a free underground museum right inside the station. Above ground, I reached Museum Siam, where you can participate in fun activities for free in the lobby.

Nearby is Sanam Chai Road, a historic area where you can find the Grand Palace, Wat Phra Kaew, and Wat Pho. I recommend setting aside a whole afternoon to fully enjoy this area.

I capped off my tour at Sam Yot Station, a historic stop with Chinese and Portuguese architectural influences. From there, I walked along Wang Burapha Road, passing numerous firearm shops before reaching Bangkok City Hall, the Giant Swing, and Wat Suthat, which has a 100 baht entrance fee.

Since my flight was approaching, I returned to my hotel, grabbed my things, and took the MRT Red Line directly to Don Mueang International Airport.
Visiting Bangkok was an unforgettable experience. The city’s efficient transportation system, vibrant markets, and rich culture made my 48-hour trip worthwhile. If you’re looking for a mix of adventure and cultural immersion without overspending, Bangkok should be at the top of your list.
