Wandering in Bangkok under the Sun - Wat Kamongkon and Chatuchak Market Tour
In the early morning of Bangkok, the air seems to be filled with the whispers of morning prayers. My first stop is Wat Kamongkon, a tranquil temple hidden amidst the city's hustle and bustle, yet it creates a peaceful world of its own. The morning light filters through the eaves, illuminating the golden Buddha statues, solemn and serene. I quietly step into the temple, feeling the soothing atmosphere and listening to the monks' low chanting, my heart also calms down.
In the afternoon, I head to Chatuchak Market, a world-renowned market that resembles a maze, with stalls selling Thai delicacies, handicrafts, and antique treasures. I weave through the narrow alleys, savoring the spicy Tom Yum Goong soup, and picking out unique handmade silver jewelry, every corner is a surprise. The sunlight slants, a gentle breeze blows, and I sit at a street corner sipping Thai iced tea, quietly feeling the unique pulse of this city. Bangkok, with its solemn faith and bustling markets, moves between tradition and modernity, making it a place one never wants to leave.
