Day 3
According to our itinerary, we have Wat Arun, Grand Palace, Wat Pho and few other temples to visit before heading off to Chatuchak weekend market. But thanks to the alcohol from the night before, everyone got up later than planned, so we only visited the Wat Arun and Grand Palace. Being the typical tourist, we took the long-tailed boat to the temples.
* TIP : There's two piers for the boats. One would be the private tour (especially to earn tourist's $$) and another would be the one which locals use (cheaper rate). Taxi drivers might bring you straight to the private tour pier.

You'll need to purchase ticket to enter which would cost 50THB and of course you'll have to dress politely (no shorts, slippers and etc). The arts on the building are fantastic and you have to climb the stairs to the top, the view is amazing up there overlooking the Chao Phraya river and the surrounding buildings. (1st photo)
We moved on to Chatuchak's weekend market after that (:
The market was filled with variety of things. There were food, clothes, bags, shoes, phone accessories, more food and many many more. IT IS HUGE ! It was fun shopping there as you have many choices and you can eat while you shop. Two things that I missed most were the needle mushrooms wrapped in grilled bacon and the coconut ice-cream with your choice of toppings! They'll serve you one cup of coconut juice for each ice-cream you get, how cool is that? Awesome refreshment for the hot sunny day.
We didn't take much pictures there as all were busy filling their tummies.

Chatuchak's weekend market was waaaaaaaaaaaaay too big for us to conquer all stalls in a few hours. I think we only managed to cover a quarter of it or less. I wish we had more time to shop there :(
Headed back to the hotel to wash up and get ready for the River Cruise dinner on the Chao Phraya River. We bought this deal from Groupon for 4 and it cost us about RM 150 per person and transport is included as we are staying in Pratunam area.
We gotten the Chao Phraya Princess 4
The cruises have the upper deck and also lower deck. The upper one is totally opened-air as the bottom one is air-conditioned. I would suggest to take the upper deck seats as you can enjoy the beautiful view together with the performance while enjoying the food.

According to the menu, we'll be served international buffet. I was pretty looking forward to it as I expect it to be good since we did pay quite an amount for it but it was such a disappointment. Yes, they do have many choices but the tastes were TOTALLY OFF for most dishes. Edible but not up to the expected standard.

My verdict for this?
Food : Average
Service: Good
Facilities: Lovely
Worth the money? : Okay for first-timers
