It's just for renting clothes, but they will help match the girls' clothes. However, I feel like there may be more cheap shops on site. The advantage is that the air-conditioning in this store is quite cool.

Next to it is Wat Arun, which is very easy to photograph, but there are so many people on weekends, so we can only take pictures during the free time. It is a pity that this plan does not come with makeup.

I made a reservation because they said they would provide a Korean guide, and it was a much more fun and comfortable tour than I expected. At first, I made a reservation for the morning, but due to a lack of participants, I received a request the day before and changed the schedule to 1:45 PM. However, when I actually went, it was better to go in the afternoon than in the morning. The guide ran around to find the gate for people who couldn't find it, and he was very kind, and even prepared water and wet tissues for us in the hot weather. I don't remember the name, but it was a very comfortable and enjoyable tour.

The first and second floors have air conditioning, the third floor has a good view and there is disco, and the second floor has jazz. There were few people when I took the boat, and no one was on the first floor. The drinks were except for plain water and rose juice given at the beginning, and all other drinks cost extra. It felt like time passed very quickly. If you want a good boat experience, I recommend this one. In addition, smoking is allowed at the stern of the second floor.

It was much more exciting than expected, and the venue was clean. During the game, there were on-site staff selling snacks and drinks. Highly recommended!

Being able to enjoy the spa and afternoon tea at the Peninsula Hotel at this price is very cost-effective. Although the lobby lobby for afternoon tea is not as classic and noble as the Hong Kong Peninsula, it is better than enough quiet environment and comfortable environment and can face the river view. The food was more appreciative of its savory as the dessert was a bit too sweet
