Chao Phraya River: The liquid dividing line between divinity and the secular world 

This turbid river has never really belonged to tourists. When the long-tail boat engine cuts through the water, the golden roof of the Grand Palace and the tin houses of the slums are broken together in the ripples, and you will understand the most authentic reflection of Bangkok. 

The Chao Phraya River in the daytime is a mobile market. Sand-carrying ships and water buses compete for the waterway in the sound of whistles, and the sampans of coconut vendors nimbly pass through. The porcelain spire of the Zhengwang Temple burns pupils under the scorching sun, and the fluorescent bracelet vendors at the Don Muang Pier are shouting prices in Chinese - the gods and merchants here share the same tide. 

After dusk falls, the river begins to show its spirit. The night lights of the temples on both sides gradually light up, and the neon signs cast colorful spells on the water. The tuk-tuk drags the light tail across the center of the river, like a string of floating ellipsis, and the whistle of the cargo ship in the distance resonates with the evening prayer bells. 

It is recommended to avoid sightseeing boats and jump on the orange public boats used by locals. When the salty water vapor mixed with the jasmine fragrance from the old woman&#39;s basket hits you, and when the teenagers in school uniforms take selfies at the bow of the boat, you will touch the true texture of the Chao Phraya River. This river does not need to be watched, it is only responsible for stirring the magic and reality of Bangkok into a suspension that never settles.

Family-friendly Attractions

Siam Ocean World: The illusion of artificial deep blue consumerism 

This aquarium hidden in the basement of a shopping mall has turned the ocean into a marketable landscape commodity. Passing through the luxury counter and taking the escalator down, you will fall into a deep blue universe faked with acrylic and LED lights. 

The 270-degree glass tunnel is a carefully designed intracranial climax. When a school of hammerhead sharks swam overhead, Thai students collectively exclaimed, while Chinese tourists were busy using beauty cameras to capture the magical picture of the school of fish and the Gucci billboard in the same frame. The most absurd is the underwater shrine exhibition area - koi and electronic lotus dance together in the landscape imitating Mahathat Temple, and faith and entertainment are stirred into an ornamental cocktail. 

The diver feeding show exposed all the secrets. When staff members dressed up as Santa Claus and danced with sharks, and when rays crashed into the glass curtain wall to compete for frozen shrimp, the mysterious veil of the ocean was completely reduced to a footnote to the commercial script. The souvenir shop at the exit is even more cunning: the 699 baht glowing jellyfish lamp is clearly marking the shocking memory just now. 

It is recommended to choose a night club to avoid the crowds. When the shadow of the manta ray passes through the empty glass curtain wall alone, when the automatic commentary stops playing, you may be able to hear the low hum of the circulation filtration system - that is the real heartbeat that keeps this artificial ocean breathing. This place is not worth a pilgrimage for ocean lovers, but as a sensory anesthetic for urban people, it is indeed efficient.

Safari World Bangkok

Bangkok Wildlife World: Wild consumption clearly priced This largest wildlife park in Asia is actually a carefully designed natural theater. The open tour bus ride through the African grasslands, zebras chew Thai grass next to their tires, giraffes poke their heads into the windows the thrill of the artificial spectacle that is worth the price of the 1,800 baht ticket. The animal show at the Ocean Park is the most interesting. The moment the dolphin leaped up to kiss the tourists on the cheek, the trainer hidden in the fish barrel by the pool leaked the sweet price. In the white tiger show, the beasts lined up to walk the plum pile, like the workers tamed by the capital. The real touching is the free activity area of the orangutan. They use the arc of their tire swings to barely retain the dignity of the wild. It is recommended to bring your own lunch to avoid the sky-high restaurant and don&#39;t miss the secret bird paradise. When the rhino dives to grab the banana in your hand, when the peacock opens the screen on the roof of the off-road vehicle, The chaos is more real than any well-organized show. When night falls, the park lights up like Disney, and the steel cages are transformed into fairy tales in the light and shadowsa metaphor for the whole park: we consume domesticated wildness, I miss the real nature in consumption.

Ancient Siam: Deconstructed Thai Time and Space Puzzle

This open-air museum covering an area of ​​200 acres is actually a Thai memory map reproduced with cement. When a golf cart takes you past the miniature ruins of the Ayutthaya Dynasty and the Chiang Mai Buddhist temple, you will feel as if you are walking on an X-ray of national civilization.

The most shocking is the St. Pech Hall. This 1:3 replica of the sunken ancient temple was cast into concrete eternity. The craftsmen used sandblasting technology to fake the patina of time, and the cracks were accurate to millimeters. Even the moss used eternal moss specimens - the boundary between reality and fiction completely collapsed here. On the other side of the Fearless War Elephant Square, the eyes of the three giant elephant sculptures were transformed with car headlights, projecting a cyberpunk-like divinity when they light up at dusk.

It is recommended to rent a bicycle for a slow tour. When the wheels roll over the floor tile patterns of different provinces, when the shadows of trees dance on the fake stone carvings of the fake Angkor Wat, this country made up of models is more honest than the real attractions: all history is a reflection of the present, and all holy places are projections of desire. In the southwest corner with the least tourists, the old woman selling iced coconut in the antique market can speak English - this is the most real metaphor of the ancient city of Siam.
