There are a few floating markets in Bangkok. The floating markets offer unique, culturally immersive experience, featuring vendors selling fresh fruits and vegetables, authentic Thai street food, local handicrafts and others. I have visited the floating markets for at least 3 times but I did not buy any items or try any of the food. I was just busy taking photographs as the floating markets are the photographers’ paradise.

The people I met in Bangkok
Phuket is famous for its stunning tropical beaches with clear waters and vibrant nightlife, though I seldom go out at night. Patong beach is a very interesting place as there are many water activities, though I never take the Parasailig nor Jey Ski. I have visited Phuket 3 times and each time I found there are something new. Worth visiting again
Initially, I was thinking of taking the bus from Johor to Hat Yai and than take another bus to Phuket. When the KKK bus reached the Malaysia-Thai border, we were told that Hat Yai was flooded and the bus was unable to move further. I had to take the train to Penang and took a flight to Phuket.
I took the bus and went for a tour of the Phuket town.
Saw this stall of street food “A Pong Mae Sunee” that has the Michelin award from 2022 to 2025. They are selling coconut crepes cooked in mini woks over charcoal at S$1 for 6 pieces.
I took the guided tour and visited 3 islands
After staying 6 days and 5 nights in Phuket, I took the premium VIP sleeper bus from Phuket Bus Terminal 2 to Bangkok. This is a 16 hours ride with food and drinks provided.
