“FLOATING MARKET AMPHAWA”
Saturday, January 19, 2019
Today is the day that I am waiting for because I have longed for my friends from Indonesia. Today is the day I take part in the “Field Trip” activity from the SEA-Teacher Program. The purpose of visits to tourist destinations in Thailand. I visited the market amphawa floating. Just like in Indonesia, Indonesia also has a floating market, but to be honest, this is the first time I have visited a floating market and that is in the State of Thailand. An amazing experience can visit one of the coolest tourist destinations in Thailand.
The journey to Amphawa is also an exciting experience and will never be forgotten. I live in samutprakan, and the location of the destination is very far away. My journey began not alone, I was with my roommate, Kyn from the Philippines, Neung ah and Biyew from VRU, they were students who were apprenticed to become teachers at the satit bangna school.
We leave from our place at 6:00 a.m., and we use a Taxi to the Sky Train Station in Thailand. This is also the first time I ride transportation in Thailand. I really like this transportation, besides being comfortable, I can see the sights of the city of Thailand from the sky train.
The station we boarded at the beginning was Sam-Rong Station and stopped at the far end of the station, Mo-chit Station. After that, we boarded the Taxi again to meet with the group from Bondidecha School at Westgate.
We arrived at the Westgate at 08:00 am. After arriving at Westgate, I met my Indonesian friend and Mrs. Nina. We waited in Halted to wait for the bus to pick up from VRU. Approximately 30 minutes I waited, a group of friends of Sea – Teacher batch 7 came in on the bus. We also enter and go to the destination. It’s really nice to be able to meet again with my friends. we traveled approximately two hours, due to the crowded conditions of the city of Thailand because today is a holiday.
Come to us at the Floating Market, before going to the main place. We are welcome to take a look at King Rama 6 garden area. It is truly a tradition in Thailand. After we were satisfied we saw the area around the park, we also walked to the Floating Market.
This eye is constantly seeing things that are unique, cool, and happy to see the sights and snacks that are there. I bought a lot of food for me to eat, and my friend bought lots of souvenirs to bring to his country.
After being satisfied around, I and my friends climbed a boat and crossed the river to get to the other side of the river. That is “Amazing Thailand” when looking at this place, more or less the same as the Zoo which is on the river bank.
After 3:00 p.m., we returned to the parking lot to get ready to return to where we were staying. We returned to the previous place by boat again, but the path that was passed was not the same, we circled the amphawa river area, truly amazed this view saw the view from the coast of the river Amphawa.
