Reviews Pak Khlong Talat (Flower Market)
For those visiting Chinatown, a short walk to the Flower Market is well worth it. Here, you'll find an impressive array of flowers and vegetables on sale. It's important to note that the flowers are often prepared as offerings, so refrain from smelling them unless you plan to buy. The market is open around the clock and is free to visit, making it a convenient and enriching addition to your tour.
This vibrant market is a dream for photographers, offering endless opportunities to capture the local culture and colorful scenes. While there are some tourists, it primarily serves the city's floral needs, giving it an authentic atmosphere. Plus, it's close to both the river and MRT, making it easily accessible.
Pak Khlong Talat is a must-visit if you're touring Bangkok. The market is bustling with life and filled with mounds of fragrant flowers that create an incredible sensory experience. I bought three dozen roses for just $20, and their fragrance lingered in my hotel room until I left. Conveniently located near Chinatown, it's open 24 hours, making it an easy stop on your itinerary.

Wikipedia Pak Khlong Talat (Flower Market)
Pak Khlong Talat (Thai: ปากคลองตลาด, pronounced [pàːk kʰlɔ̄ːŋ tā.làːt]) is a market in Wang Burapha Phirom Subdistrict, Phra Nakhon District, Bangkok, Thailand, that sells flowers, fruits, and vegetables. It is the primary flower market of Bangkok and has been cited as a "place of symbolic value" to Bangkok residents. It is on Chak Phet Road and adjacent side-streets, close to Memorial Bridge. Though the market is open 24 hours, it is busiest before dawn, when boats and trucks arrive with flowers from nearby provinces. Its location by Chao Phraya River near the southern end of Khlong Lot, hence the name 'Pak Khlong Talat', literally means "the market on the mouth of the canal".

King Rama I Monument
Chinatown Self-Guided Walking Tour
A giant statue of King Rama I, located within walking distance from the flower market and Sky Park, sits in a well-maintained park. The open area is perfect for relaxing, though the fountain at the entrance lacked water during my visit. The statue itself is clean and well-kept, making it worth a visit if you're nearby.

During my visit to Rongros, the quality of the food truly stood out—each dish was a masterpiece of authentic flavors and presentation. The staff's warm hospitality made the experience even more enjoyable, creating a welcoming environment. Although the restaurant isn't very spacious, it comfortably accommodates guests, and the view of the river and passing boats is delightful. A little more attention to the restroom cleanliness would be appreciated, but overall, it was a fantastic visit. Looking forward to returning!

Siri Guru Singh Sabha Gurdwara
Chinatown Self-Guided Walking Tour
I visited the Siri Guru Singh Sabha Gurdwara while in Bangkok. Although I've never been to India, this temple felt like a unique and interesting experience. However, it didn't quite have the ambiance of a religious institution; it felt more like a government building or palace to me.

Cafe Hatia is a charming little cafe near Phra Nakhon with a classic decor that sets a lovely ambiance. The drinks and cakes were tasty and reasonably priced. The stuffed animals in the decoration gave the place a unique touch, although the small size of the cafe and narrow stairs may not be suitable for everyone. Overall, a good place to stop by for a treat.
