The key to success
I have always been questioning about every classes. There are so many negative thoughts from me toward the way professors educate me. I often think that I’m not good at writing and I need someone to guide me. The question is why don’t teachers walk me through them step by step. However, JM310 class has completely changed my mind. After I finished this class, I realized that practice is the key to success.
JM310 is a class which has the most workload in Junior year. Times and efforts you have put to this course are more than all works from every courses in one semester combined together. But, if I compared myself today and before I attended this class. I could say that I have improved myself a lot.
In the end, hard work pays off for those who actually do something.
JM310, a class that all students have to follow many rules. To be honest, there are too many rules in this class and they create uncomfortable environment among students. Apart from the freedom that Thammasat university students should have, this class is somewhat a good example for other classes to follow.
Rules are what make society unite in the same order. And university is a suitable place for students to practice before facing them in the future. All classes should have a common rule that will benefit students when they have to be in the grown-up society like punctuality rule.
“Only one minute late is not acceptable,” said Mr. Bruce, the JM310 professor, on the first day of the course.
Thai people still lack of punctuality, and this issue should be considered more and more. Not only professors but students also are capable of shaping our society to become a better place. There are some classes where professors come to class late, but those cases never happen to Mr, Bruce class. He wants students to never break those rules and he is a good example for students to follow.
JM310, a class where I have learned many things from writing knowledge to how to be a good citizen. Mr. Bruce doesn’t only educate students to be a good writer. He also persuaded us to be a straightforward person in the society. To encourage us to report those wrongdoings is to remind students that they have the rights to do so. It is something that I have never thought that I would do. But this class gave me the opportunities to actually help changing our society.
Unfortunately, Thailand is still a developing country. Our complains are not very effective. But I hope that someday people will find that rules do matter. And our complains might eventually be effective.
One thing I keep reminding myself is not to blame the society. We are the society. So, by changing ourselves and following rules can make it a better place.

Kabocha sushi is a sushi place with a reasonable price. The quality of the sushi are worth more than the price you pay. Now a day, sushi become more and more popular among Thai people. Almost everyone love to eat Japanese food, so there are many sushi restaurant for customers to choose from. And that's why there are many more competitors in this business. In addition, each place need to have their promotion in order to attract more people to come and eat in their restaurant. Kabocha has one of the great deal that happening all around the year which make me love this place so much.
HOW TO GET THERE?
There are 5 branches that you can choose the closest one to eat at which are the Bright Rama2, Homepro Rama3, the Nine rama9, Lat phrao 19 and lastly the Street Ratchada. There are difference promotion for difference branches, so you can go check them out at their Facebook fanpage, Kabochasushi. The opening hour on week days is 11.00-14.00 and 17.00-22.00.

WHAT TO EAT?
In this restaurant, the product that they use in their place is 100% direct import from Tsukiji fish market that located in Japan. They guarantee that their food is freshly made with high quality product. The lunch time during 11.00-14.00 especially on the weekdays is when they have the best promotion because they are super cheap price during the entire day. Not only the price is cheap but they also have special lunch set menu which is only at lunch time. So, I suggest you to go on the lunch time on weekdays because you will get to experience high quality food with low price range and it's very worth your money and time spend. The menu that I recommend is salmon don and mini foie gras don. This place has the most reasonable price for foie gras which cannot find in other places.

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog!:) I had a little escape outside Bangkok not so long ago. Today, I will take you along to the place that I went. Chonburi is a province that is not far from Bangkok and it also have many activities you can do with family and friends. As my older blog, I did mention this province before where I took you to Grand Canyon Chonburi. But this time I will show you one of my favorite zoo which located in this province rather than the zoo in the Bangkok city that I did mention in the past. If you are wondered what it's look like.. keep on reading.
WHERE TO GO?
Khao Kheow Open zoo is the first place that come up on my mind when I think of the zoo. I believe that this place is somehow be in everyone childhood memory because it is a well-known place for traveling and getting closer with all the animals. No doubt that your parents took you to this place when you were a kids. But if you have never been there, this is the opportunity for you to get to know this place better and maybe going there someday. It is a open zoo which means that it is a open space for animal to live in. Moreover, it is located in the middle of the mountain where they keep their animals living as natural as possible. This zoo is huge, you can stay there all day without getting bored because they are full of animal to see and activities to do. The purpose of this zoo is to conserve the animals, balance the nature and environment, educate people and to do a research in advance.
HOW TO GET THERE?
Khao Kheow Open zoo is located in 235 Sukhumvit Road, Bang Phra, Sri Racha, Chon Buri, Thailand. You can get there by car and it is about 1 hour and 30 minutes drive from Bangkok through high way or motorway which is very convenience. Other way is to take a public bus, eastern bus terminal(Eakkamai) or nothern bus termknal(Mochit). It takes about 2 hours for the former and 2-3hours for the latter from Bangkok.
WHAT TO DO?
If you think of a zoo, there’re not so many activities to do except walking around a park with a lot of animals. But unlike any other zoos, there are a lot of activities to do here. At Khao Kheow Open zoo you can both visit the zoo in the morning and during the night. There are night safari available here. Going to Khao Kheow you can drive your car through the zoo because the area of the zoo is amazingly big. But don’t worry if you don’t have a car or you’re not allowed to drive one yet, you can rent a golf cart or get on a tour bus. There are animals show at the zoo too. You can go visit there website for more information at http://kkopenzoo.com/newversion_eng/?page_id=361/#home

I will be introduce more and more on shabu restaurant to a guideline for people who want to try or love shabu as me.
WHERE TO EAT?
When I think of shabu place to eat, Shibuya Shabu is one of the name that will be on the top of the list in my mind. This place is specialize in shabu and more importantly they provide us a variety of sushi, both are in the premium buffet. There are many branches that located around bangkok that you can choose the nearest one for you. First, Chareon Nakhon branch, it is located in Vue by the river Floor G, you can call at 02-4370997 for more information or for reservation.

They specialize in both shabu and sushi but the dessert is also a very good quality. Moreover, they include refill drinks in the buffet. Shabu, for the meat, they have a beef and pork. You can choose 2 out of 3 soups that they provide. I was impress with they vegetable and other fish ball that you can go pick up by yourself at the vegetable bar. The vegetable is so fresh that no other shabu places provide as good as this place. The good quality of vegetable make a better meal because it is the important ingredient. For sushi, they divided to two set, on day 1-15 Rama9 and Chareon Nakhon branches will be set A and Ekamai will be set B. On 16-31 the set will swap from A to B and from B to A. In addition, the special sushi will depend on the promotion in the month. It is Engawa sushi for this month promotion which is a very great deal. Lastly, the dessert is very very good, it is better quality than other place that provide dessert in the buffet. If you have chance to eat there, let me know in the comment and tell me if you have a good experience or not.

The South - Krabi
Hi everyone and welcome to my blog!:) I know a lot of you guys love going to beach including me. There are tons of beautiful beach in Thailand especially in the South. I have been traveling to the south several times and I have experienced differently in each time but there are all good memories. If you love going to the beach, I recommend you to go to the south and spend few day there and you will not regret. And if you are wondered what it's like to be in the south, please keep on reading and I will let you guys sneak on the beautifulness ..stay tuned.
WHERE TO GO?
Krabi was coming up in my mind when I'm thinking of the south. Almost every province that connected to the Andaman sea have the prettiest Island in Thailand. That's why many foreigner want to come to our country and explore the beautiful islands. For my blog, I will focus on Krabi, as I went there for a few days. Krabi is well known for traveller who want to go and enjoy the islands. There are beautiful and unique that no other place has. I love Krabi and will going back someday for sure.
HOW TO GET THERE?
There are many way to go to Krabi such as bus, plane and car. It is almost 900 kilometers from Bangkok which I suggest you to go by plane because it is the most convenience and safest way. It is a long ride if you want to which take more than 9 hours to get there. And it will take longer if you go by the bus because the bus is big and they have the speed limit.
WHAT TO DO?
Krabi is a paradise for every wanderer because there are lots of activity to do. You can get a one day trip tour and explore different islands of your choice. I love sitting on the boat ride because it is fun and you can snorkeling in many spot that are popular among the tourist. There are many islands that you can walk around and see the sun set by the beach which was incredible. Moreover, there also have other interesting place other than the beach, Blue pool. It is the naturally pool which is a famous place to swim and surrounded with forest. Lastly, I want Thai people to travel in our country more because there are many more places that are the one you should go before you die. Be proud and keep supporting our country!
Thanks for reading and stay tuned for more interesting places to go!

Abandon building
Hi everyone and welcome to my blog!:) This week, I would like to take you along to the place that I guess that not many people have been to before. Have you ever go and explore the old building? I don't think that many of you would say yes. Have you ever wondered what it's like to be in an abandon place? If yes, you should follow along because I will walk you through my experience when I went to the abandon parking lots building..
WHERE TO GO?
If you want to explore new thing, any place that caught your attention can be interesting. And if your interest is to go to an abandon place like me you should be careful and make sure to ask for the permission to get in first before going to other property. I think that every place has its own charm which you will never have the same experience when you go to different places. I went to this abandon parking lots in Saphan Taksim area. I didn't mean to go to this building but I missed the chance to go to the famous one, so why not.. right?
WHAT TO DO?
You can walk around to see the beauty of the abandon place. There are not only scary but there are also an unique art surrounded in the building. I was surprise when I go there because there are strange and fearful at the same time. After I get used to it, I got to appreciate how it has its unique art. If you have a chance, you should take it and never let the look of the place scared you because you can miss the beauty. Moreover, maybe you will find an inspiration from it. I suggest you to have the safety first. Never do something that are not respect the place. Be sure not to destroy the place and be careful of you action.
WHERE TO EAT?
As for the old place that I mentioned earlier. I feel like taking you to the old restaurant that has been run the business for so long. This place is called Sri Sa Mhorn Lerd Rod. It is provided pork and chicken on top of rice with the garlic oil which there are so unique that no other place has. That's why I love this place so much. There are located in Convent road area. And remember, never get scared of how this place look, give it a shot and you will never be disappoint.
Thanks everyone for reading. Feel free to leave any comment of your own experiences. Please stay tune for more places next week!!:)

Kagonoya
Hi everyone! I would like to change things up a little bit from the usual blog, so today we gonna focus more on where to eat rather than where to go. I love eating Japanese food especially SHABU. Shabu is one of my favorite Japanese dishes that I always craving for and I have never getting tired of eating shabu. That's why I always seek for the good shabu restaurants and even if I find the one I really like but there will always be a better one that show up. Today, I would like to introduce you to one of my favorite shabu restaurant. If you interesting in shabu, then stay tune and keep on reading.
WHERE TO EAT?
Kagonoya is a place to think of when I need shabu. This place is originated from Osaka and they have over 76 branches in Japan. I like this place because of the quality of the meat is better than the other place where. they have the same prices as Kagonoya. Moreover, Ponzu sauce is unique and no other place that I have been try are having better Ponzu than this one. The sauce is the key for shabu, so that's make me love to come back and eat it more and more. If you love to eat buffet as me, their make you choose 2 soups at a time. I suggest you to go and try this one and you will not be disappointed.
HOW TO GET THERE?
Kagonoya has 8 branches around Bangkok. So, you can choose the branch that located nearest your house for more convenient. There are also a phone number for you to call and ask the information or you can visit the facebook fanpage (https://www.facebook.com/kagonoya/) for more information.

7th Branch : The Paseo Town Tel:02-1113085
8th Branch : Senafest Charoennakorn Tel:02-1080191
WHAT TO EAT?
I have never try the a-la-carte menu from Kagonoya, so I will focus on buffet. There are 3 courses that you can choose in this restaurant. First, pork shabu shabu course is 429 Baht per person, you can eat everything on the menu and it is include the drink in this prices. Second, beef and pork shabu shabu courses is 469 Baht per person. You can eat beef and everything as the last course can eat. Lastly, Kagonoya beef and pork shabu shabu is 1,199 Baht per person. The highlight of this course is Kagonoya beef which I have never tried before. Moreover, you will get prawn, salmon, mussel or even a sushi and sashimi are also provide for you. I always take the second course and it is a very good quality, I wonder what will be like for the most expensive course. I hope that one day I will be rich enough to eat Kagonoya beef haha.

TeamLab Islands
Hi everyone and welcome to my blog!:) I'm glad that our midterm finally over, so we can get back to travel along with me!! Today I would like to introduce you to a place that I really like and suggest kids to go. In our country, there is not much exhibit that encourage kids to be more creative. Our kids in this generation is Gen Z generation which means they are growing up with technology and that's make them experience the world less and less. We need a place where kids can express and develop their creative thought.
WHERE TO GO?
TeamLab IsLands: Dance! Art Museum, Learn & Play! Interactive Theme Park. It is only a temporary exhibit which ended by now. But I hope that it will come back to our country soon. It is a place where both kids and adult can enjoy spending time together. I suggest everyone to go if you have chance to visit teamlab in other country or if it's come back to exhibited in Thailand.
HOW TO GET THERE?
It is located in Central world which is a mall in Pathumwan district. You can take a BTS to Siam or Chidlom station because CTW is located between this two stations, it is about 5-10 minutes walk on skywalk to CTW. You can take Bus or Taxi if you want to but the BTS is the most convenient way because you don't have to deal with all the traffic.
WHAT TO DO?
There are many activities to do that allow everyone to think outside the box created by a group of Japanese. First zone is Dance! Art Museum. This zone is a Art work for the visitors to let their imagination free outside their mind. Other zone is Play! Interactive Theme Park. This zone let the visitors create an art by themselves and interpret their own thoughts. I love every activities that they provide because I feel like every steps have been thought by the creators which make us fully express our mind.
WHAT TO EAT?
Omu is a japanese restaurant that serve all kind of omelette dishes. This is one of my favorite restaurant to eat. My favorite dish is the omelette rice with cream sauce. There are many topping to eat with omelette, I'm sure that there will be at least one favorite of everyone to choose from.
Thanks for reading!:) see you again next week with the exciting place to go!

Grand Canyon Chonburi
Hi everyone and welcome to my blog!:) As my previous blog, I mostly take you guys around Bangkok. For this week, I will take you a little further from Bangkok. Have you ever getting tired of the city life? Do you need a little break from reality? I suggest you to go to Chonburi province which located in the Eastern of Thailand not so far from Bangkok. There are many interesting places to go in this province such as beach, island and zoo. Today, I will take you to one of the hidden place that you should go and see by yourself. If you wanna know more about it.. stay tuned and keep on reading!
WHERE TO GO?
The original Grand Canyon is located in America but there are two Grand Canyon in Thailand that look similar to the original one, Chonburi and Chiangmai one. For this blog, I will talk about the Grand Canyon Chonburi. If you have a dream to visit Grand Canyon in real life but you have no budget to go to America, a sneak peek of Grand Canyon Chonburi is a choice for you. You can have an experience from this one first and then go explore more in the world. In this place there also has Snow Mountain. What on earth that there is a snow mountain in the country that is known to not have snow? But this pile of rock look very similar to the snow and both of this places are worth going to explore by yourself.
HOW TO GET THERE?
Chonburi is located in Eastern of Gulp Thailand. It is around 100 km from Bangkok which is 1hr and 30 minutes drive. This province is not as popular as Pattaya, so it is more local friendly and not much tourism as Pattaya. The easiest way to get there is to drive because you can drive directly to the Grand Canyon. Local people are provide a parking for you and the fee is only 20 Baht per car. The other way is to take a public transportation such as a bus. It will take you to the bus station of Chonburi but you have to hire a smaller car to get you to Grand Canyon.
WHAT TO DO?
This place is known for people to go and take a lot of picture. You can wander around this place and take more and more picture because it has a beautiful view of nature. The important thing is to follow the rule there. You have to be careful not to go on the edge of the cliff and make sure to keep yourself inside the red fence. Not far from Grand Canyon, there is a 100 meters walk to get to the snow mountain. It is a rough walk but worth walking.
WHAT TO EAT?
There is a restaurant called Mum Aroi. Which is very popularv among the tourist or even a local people because of their delicious foods especially seafood and the good services. I can guarantee that you will not be disappoint if you go to this restaurant.
Thanks for reading and feel free to give a comment or a suggestion of where to go. See you next week with other exciting place to go!:)

HIDDEN FOREST IN THE CITY
Hi everyone and welcome to my blog!:) In this week, I would like to introduce you to an interesting place in Bangkok. Bangkok is capital city of Thailand. So, it is crowded with people and traffic. The most important thing is that Bangkok is lack of nature because it has more building and less tree. There are not many places to find in Bangkok that people can be relax. When people are working hard, they need to take a rest in order to keep their body and mind healthy. It is good to have a lots of green space throughout Bangkok city for urbanite like us. Today, I will take you guys along to see a green working space that are hide in the urban area. If you want to know more about it ..stay tuned and keep on reading!
WHERE TO GO?
A hidden forest in the city, Naiipa Art Complex, is a lifestyle mall built under a green city concept (Nai-Pa or Naiipa is the Thai word for in the forest. It is a rental space for retailers as well as exhibition and co-working spaces. The owner wanted to built a place that can coexist in peace with nature and life. Not many people would hesitate to cut down the tall trees to clear the way for an even taller building. But Sabhat Rakitawan, co-founder of the Naiipa Art Complex project, couldn't find it in his heart to tear down trees that his grandparents planted on his family's land on Sukhumvit 46 decades ago. So he recruited architect Chanasit Cholasuek to help bring out his conceptual idea of creating an art complex. If you want to take a photo with DSLR or Mirrorless camera, you have to ask for the permission from the office first, for the privacy of this building.
HOW TO GET THERE?
There are many ways to get there but the most convenient way is to take a BTS to Phra Khanong station. Naiipa Art complex is located in Sukhumvit Soi 46 which are 5 minutes walk from BTS. Another way is to drive there or to take a bus or taxi. I recommend the BTS because it is very fast and you don't have to deal with all the traffic.
WHAT TO DO?
There is not much to do in Naiipa Art Complex because it does not fully open yet. But you can enjoy the peace and appreciate the nature in this building. It is like a hidden forest for an urban people like us who live in the city and don't surrounded by the nature. So you can breath in a lot of fresh air in your lung because there is not so much place that have this environment. But there is a cafe that you can go visit and enjoy natural working space.
WHAT TO EAT?
Inside Naiipa Art Complex, there is one cafe that is very popular among working people, Li-bra-ry. It has many branches around Bangkok and Naiipa Art Complex is the latest branch that they have launched. It is a nice cafe to work. It also has amazing coffee and drink. The signature menu is Li-bra-ry waffle. Nothing is better than a nice drink when you are working and also surround yourself with the nature.

Ayutthaya - Night Time
-NIGHTTIME-
Hi everyone and welcome to my blog! For last week, I have mentioned Ayutthaya in day time. We will stick to Ayutthaya again for this week. I would like to introduce everyone to another aspect of Ayutthaya. Have you ever wondered what Ayutthaya looks like in the night time? There are some occasional for Buddhism to pray at night. So, people are not often see the temple at night and if they are attend to the religious ceremony, they don't alway wander around the temple because they would focus on the ceremony. Today I will take you along with me to experience Ayutthaya in night time. Please stay tuned and keep on reading!:)
WHERE TO GO?
I attended to Magha Puja Day ceremony, so I had an opportunity to wander around the ancient creature in the temple. Magha Puja Day is one of the most important Buddhist celebrations which falls on the full moon day of the third lunar month (about last week of February or early of March). This day marks the great events that took place during Lord Buddha's lifetime when 1250 Buddhist monks from different places came to pay homage to Lord Buddha at Valuwan Vihara in Rajgaha, the capital of Magaha State, each of his own initiative and without prior notification or appointment.
Wat Mongkhon Bophit is where I did a ceremony at night to cerebrate Magha Puja Day. Wat Mongkhon Bophit is a place where a big Buddha image “Phra Mongkhon Bophit” is situated. The temple reflects the power of religious belief on Thai social and political ideal, and also witnesses on Ayutthaya people’s knowledge in casting metal into various forms, especially casting archaic into Buddha images.
HOW TO GET THERE?
There are many ways to go to Ayutthaya. The easiest way to get there is to drive because it takes around 30-40 minutes to drive from our Thammasart University. I suggest everyone to drive because it is more convenient at night. The most important thing is the safety, it is better to have your own car than to trust public transportation.
WHAT TO DO?
Magha Puja Day is declared as a public holiday so that people from all walks of life can go to the temple to make merit and perform other religious activities in the morning and to take part in the candlelit procession or Wien Tien in Thai in the evening. I recommended everyone to go to Wat Mongkhon Bophit because it is very old and unique temple. So, you can experience the temple the way that not a lot of people can do.
WHAT TO EAT?
In this temple, there is a market called Talat Wang Boran. Boran is known as ancient in English. So this market has many kind of food you can imagine. There is one sweet that I always get when I go to Ayutthaya, Rotee Saimai. Ayutthaya is well known for there Rotee Saimai and it is one of my favorite dessert. I guarantee that everyone will like this sweet.

Ayutthaya - Day Time
-DAYTIME-
Hi everyone and welcome to my blog. For this week, I would like to introduce you to other interesting place to get away from your busy life. If you want to know about it more.. stay tuned and keep on reading!:)
Most of Thais are Buddhism which means that temples are the important places for our religions. Temple are known to be peaceful place. It will make people who go there have a very clear mind, calm and also relieve all of their stress that they got during the work time.
WHERE TO GO?
I would like to introduce everyone to a very interesting province, Ayutthaya. Ayutthaya was our kingdom which stayed in the longest period comparing to other kingdom in Thailand. So, it is known to be a historical province where it has many ancient temple that people can learn history from and experience the beautifulness of our old kingdom.
If I ever have chance to go to Ayutthaya, I will put Wat Yai chai Mongkhon on my top lists. Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon or the Great Monastery of Auspicious Victory is located off the city island in the southeastern area of Ayutthaya in present Phai Ling Sub-district. In the year 1357 two princes of Ayutthaya, Chao Kaeo and Chao Thai, died of cholera. King Ramathibodhi I ordered the bodies of both princes to be exhumed and at the cremation site, a monastery with a holy monument (stupa) and a preaching hall (viharn), be established. He gave the monastery the name "Wat Pa Kaeo" or the Monastery of the Crystal Forest.
HOW TO GET THERE?
There are many ways to go to Ayutthaya. The easiest way to get there is to drive because it takes around 30-40 minutes to drive from our Thammasart University and the good things from driving is you can wander around easily. The second way is to take a public bus or van to get there. After that you can buy a one-day tour or rent a car. Lastly, the train is also an option for you.
WHAT TO DO?
This temple is very huge and surrounded by a lot of trees. It is a very peaceful place to pray and to rest at the same time. You can learn history by walking around and observe all the old buildings that our ancestors have built.
WHAT TO EAT?
If I have to choose one restaurant in Ayutthaya, TonNam River View restaurant is for sure in my list. This restaurant is located near river and it offers Thai food. River prawn is easily to find in this areas so this restaurant is well-known for a fresh river prawn. All the food in this restaurant is very good but if you have a chance to go there, I recommend you to have a river prawn because it is soooooooo good.

To live is to travel
Who am I? I'm a Journalist student at Thammasart University who interested in traveling a lot. My name is Aree or you can called me Jan. Welcome everyone to my blog and be prepare for an amazing posts every week. ;)
Getting tired of city life? Now a days, people work hard everyday, not only a business people but also a student like us who study a lot on weekdays. They get a lot of stress from the work during the week. In order to relieve their stress, sometimes they need to explore the world in different places to get away from it all.
WHERE TO GO?
The first place that I would like to introduce to you is BANGKAJAO (บางกะเจ้า). It is located in Samutprakarn provience which is not far from Bangkok. Bangkajao surrounded by a lot of tree and a lot fresh air to breath in. Those are the things that are not easy to find in the crowded city. Moreover, there are many activities such as cycling, making Tie dye and so on. Just keep this place in your mind if you are a nature lover.

HOW TO GET THERE?
There are two ways to go to Bangkajao. First, to take a boat ride, you have to take the BTS to Bangna station and then take a taxi to BangnaNork Temple. In the temple, there is a boat which take you across the Chaopraya River and your destination is there. The other way is to drive there, you have to drive across the Bhumibol Bridge and follow the Suksawud signs that will lead you to your destination.
WHAT TO DO?
There are many activities in Bangkajao. Most people like to cycling around because it is an easy way to enjoy the nature and it is easy to wander around to many place in Bangkajao.
- Making a Tie dye clothes
There is a place call Baan Toop Horm where they offer a lesson of how to make Tie dye clothes. They will teach you step by step. First, you have to choose the pattern that you like and then you start to do a shape of the cloth and paint it. (Tips: the owner suggest you to go on weekdays because it is too busy on the weekend)
WHAT TO EAT?
There are a lots of place to eat in Bangkajao but the one that I like the most is Bangkok Tree House. It is not only a restaurant but also a hotel to stay. So, they decorate the place very nice and you get the view of Chaopraya River. The important part of the restaurant is FOOD and this place offers a Thai fusion one for you which taste so good. I can guarantee that you will have a best eating experience from this place. (Recommended: every spaghetti dishes is not gonna disappoint you!)
Thanks for reading and stay tune for more interesting places! ;)
