Today we are super excited because we are heading to the legendary Maeklong Railway Market or Talat Rom Hup which means 'umbrella pulldown market'.

But first was buffet breakfast in the hotel.

| Maeklong Railway Market |
We reached Maeklong Railway Market at about 10am and had time for coffee. After which we walked down to the market.
The interesting thing about this market is that it has a train that runs through the market at certain timings. At about 11am there was an announcement to inform that the train is coming.

The train was extremely near. Check out the video and you will understand what I meant. It is totally worth to make a trip down.
 |
| Maeklong Train Station |
As Maeklong Railway Market was the last station of the train route, the train stopped for a while and we took the chance to take more photos of the train.
After the train left the station, we headed to a secluded place for lunch and I totally forgot to take any photos. The food were super delicious and only the locals will know how to get there and surprisingly it was full house.
I think for the next holiday I need to plan what are the must take photos otherwise I seem to keep forgetting to take photos to share. So upsetting. Does it happen to you too?

| Amphawa Floating Market |
Next we drove to Amphawa Floating Market. The second most popular floating market and I loved it here because it is mainly visited by the Thais which has an authentic feel to the place.
 |
| Seafood by the river |
This place is very popular for eating seafood by the river. It smells so good as you walk through the marketplace.

When you are there, you have to take the longtail boat to explore the surroundings of the river. We paid about 600 baht for a private boat.
 |
| Houses and temples along the river |
 |
| Traditional old Thai houses |
 |
| Children playing in the river |
It was a beautiful sight of traditional and modern houses, temples, wildlife, children playing by the river.
We enjoyed so much for the past 2 days with my cousins. We managed to do what we intended to for this trip and there are some other places we'll leave it for our next trip.
 |
| Bridge to Platinum Mall, Bangkok |
 |
| Big C Supermarket |
The next 2 days were purely shopping at Platinum Mall, Big C and the street stalls.
Not forgetting swimming at the hotel and just relaxing around the area and dinner with my cousins.
 |
| Maygori at Siam Square |

It was a good reunion and we are looking forward to our next trip together.
Do remember to pin my story down for future reference. This will be my last post for 2016. Have a great 2017, remember to stay positive and beautiful always.
