Bang Pli Old Town Market - feeling upcountry just a few steps away from Bangkok

If you are in Bangkok and want to escape the urban jungle and the concrete and huzzle, then you should take the short ride to Bang Phli. Here you find one of the oldest floating markets of the city - and sure you will not meet many tourists or foreigners. Its a hdden gem, situated behind the Big C supermarket. Wooden houses, lots to buy and to eat and the traditional thai feeling. Smiling everywhere, a stunning temple, families who are feeding fish for good luck and much more. Dont forget to take a ride on the longtailboat. For just 20 Baht you have a nice short trip and feel like you are away from the city more than just the 20 kilometers.
