08:00-10:30 Flower Market & Floral Cafe at Napasorn
Location Name on Google : Pak Khlong Talat (Flower Market)
Location on Google Map : https://maps.app.goo.gl/BDe3vT6ryntpUP137
Open everyday
A great way to start your day is by experiencing the bustling atmosphere of Pak Khlong Talat, Bangkok's flower market. Located near Memorial Bridge on Maha Rat Road in the Phra Nakhon District, this market was once a vital waterway trading hub. As river trade declined and road transport became more prevalent, the market expanded from the riverside to the surrounding streets.
At one point, Pak Khlong Talat was Bangkok's largest fish market, where boats loaded with saltwater fish from Tha Chin (Samut Sakhon) would travel up the Bangkok Yai Canal and unload their cargo here during the reign of King Rama V.
Today, you can immerse yourself in the vibrant community life of Bangkok's flower vendors. While you're there, you might want to stop for a morning coffee at Floral Cafe at Napasorn, known as the most beautiful cafe in the market.
10.30-12:00 Time for a Big Brunch or Anytime you feel hungry
Location Name on Google : Phu Kitchen Riverside Restaurant

Open everyday
After you've finished strolling through the flower market and enjoyed your morning coffee, it's time to eat! I highly recommend trying this restaurant, which is less than a 10-minute walk from Pak Khlong Talat. Just follow the map provided to find it.
The reason I suggest this place is for the incredible variety and value. For just 79 Baht, with no extra charges, you can have an amazing all-you-can-eat meal. The buffet includes:
A selection of Thai curries and dishes to enjoy with steamed rice.
Over 10 different kinds of curries to pair with Khanom Chin (fermented rice noodles).
A Chicken Noodle Station where you can create your own bowl. You get to choose your favorite type of noodles (wide rice noodles, thin rice noodles, vermicelli, glass noodles, egg noodles, or even instant noodles) and add your preferred cuts of stewed chicken, which are kept in separate pots. You can choose from chicken breast, offal, feet, wings, knuckles, blood, and stewed bitter melon, among other options.
To top it off, bottled water is only 10 Baht, and other drinks and desserts are just 15 Baht each. Go and create your own culinary adventure by experiencing this authentic and affordable Thai meal at this riverside restaurant!
12:00-13:00 Step into a slice of history at "My Grandparent's House"
Location Name on Google : My Grandparent's House
Location on Google Map : https://maps.app.goo.gl/oNVCXZL18yjQtqHu9
Close on Wednesday
From your table at Phu Kitchen restaurant on the Chao Phraya River, if you look across, you'll see a prominent Chinese temple. That temple is the Guan Yu Shrine. Next to the Chinese pavilion by the river, you'll see a beautiful old wooden house that has been well-preserved. That is "My Grandparent's House," where the family's old home has been opened as a small house museum. The area by the river has been converted into a restaurant and cafe.
After you finish your meal, simply call a taxi and set your destination to "My Grandparent's House." The taxi will take you across the bridge to the Khlong San, Thonburi side. Once you enter Soi Somdet Chao Phraya 3, go to the very end of the street. You will find the Chinese shrine and the entrance to the cafe.
Inside, you will find an antique-decorated wooden house by the river, filled with many old items that evoke a sense of the past. The food served here is simple, but if you're following today's itinerary, you'll already be full. Therefore, I recommend having a dessert and a drink. As for the old house section inside, which was once the family's old fish sauce factory, you can ask the staff about the opening hours to visit if your timing is right.
13:30-14:30 Princess Mother Memorial Park
Location Name on Google : Princess Mother Memorial Park
Location on Google Map : https://maps.app.goo.gl/xUt8JznE7iysT9n68
Open everyday
The park contains gardens and a reproduction of the royal mother's childhood home, as well as two exhibition halls showing memorabilia of the princess and the royal family and a pavilion with a statue of the princess.
As you walk through these gardens, you'll find a peaceful escape from the city's chaos, with the gentle sounds of birds and the wind, and sunlight filtering through the leaves. The park also features exhibitions that detail the history of the area and showcase family photos of the Princess Mother, King Rama VIII, and King Rama IX from before their reigns. Additionally, you'll find the red brick ruins and old walls of a former house, which were built approximately 150 years ago.
Spend about an hour here before moving on to your next stop.
14:30-14:50 Enjoy a scenic 20-minute stroll to Tha Din Deang Pier
Location Name on Google : Tha Din Daeng Cross River Ferry Pier
Location on Google Map : https://maps.app.goo.gl/nrvW9rRFPiPK4Zba8
Open everyday
There are two walking routes you can take from here.
Route 1: You can take the small alleyway, which passes by old houses in a traditional riverside community. This path allows you to see the local way of life and will lead you directly to the pier (as shown by the green dots on the map).
Route 2: Alternatively, you can walk out to the main road and turn onto Tha Din Daeng Road from the entrance. This route will take you through one of Bangkok's most famous street food zones (as shown by the red dots on the map).
Once you arrive at the pier, just walk in, pay 4 Baht per person, and get on the boat.
15:00-17:00 Song Wat Road
Location Name on Google : Song Wat Road
Location on Google Map : https://maps.app.goo.gl/8GcQETdCYtSopFS39
Open everyday
The pier directly opposite Tha Din Daeng Pier is Ratchawong Pier. This is your starting point for walking down Song Wat Road.
Walk straight from the pier until you reach the first intersection. Turn right, and you'll find yourself on Song Wat Road, one of Bangkok's oldest zones that was established with the city of Rattanakosin itself.
While Song Wat has recently become famous for its "crafted cafes," it has long been—and still is—a major Chinese trading hub. The beautiful old buildings lining the street have made it a prime location for stylish cafes to open, and blank walls have been transformed with street art, creating countless photo opportunities. You'll also find charming shops selling unique goods.
If you don't stop at any cafes, you can easily walk the length of this scenic road, browse the shops, and take photos in about one hour.
Dinner in China Town
After you've finished exploring Song Wat Road, you can walk around Yaowarat Road, which is known as one of the world's largest Chinatowns. You can easily find street food stalls there at your convenience. If you prefer not to eat street food, Yaowarat Road also has restaurants of all types and price ranges.
