Except for the chaotic line waiting to board the boat, everything was fine! In particular, the host on the boat is very good at singing and stirring up the atmosphere. I am lucky to be ranked on the second floor. I wonder if it has something to do with the birthday girl? There is also a birthday celebration part. The night scenery along the way is beautiful and the meals are OK.

cheapest tour on klook yet everything was awesome! food, entertainment, and their service. cheaper than the evening cruise but still you can enjoy the evening view with the sunset cruise. 😍 the view from the cruise’ perspective especially the temples, icon siam were very satisfying that we opt not to visit the temples anymore. thank you klook!

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.
