Wat Kang Klong Sra Bua วัดกลางคลองสระบัว
Wat Klang is located off the city island in the northern area of Ayutthaya in Khlong
Sra Bua Sub-district. The temple was situated on the east bank of Sra Bua Canal in an
area called Thung Kaeo. Wat Phisua stood on its north side and Wat Raeng in the south.
Wat Sri Pho and Wat Phrom Kalayaram lie in the west opposite the canal.
In situ are the well known classic monastic structures. The new ordination hall (ubosot) is built in a mix of Early and Late Ayutthaya style with some Late Ratanakosin (Bangkok era) influences. Old satellite chedis are standing in the vicinity of the ubosot.

Liab Duan Danneramit Night Market is a vibrant and relatively new addition to Bangkok’s bustling night market scene, offering a lively mix of street food, shopping, entertainment, and photogenic attractions in the Chatuchak district.
It stands out for its fairy-tale-like giant castle installation that serves as a dramatic backdrop, creating a magical, Instagram-worthy atmosphere reminiscent of a Disney setting.

Its unique character stems from the active railway line that runs directly through the heart of the market stalls, creating a spectacle where vendors must swiftly retract their awnings and goods whenever a train approaches, only to resume business moments after it passes. This market has become one of Thailand’s most iconic tourist attractions, blending everyday local commerce with the precision of rail operations in a way that feels both chaotic and harmonious.
The market’s origins trace back to around 1905, when it began as a typical local trading hub for the fishing and farming communities in the area near the Gulf of Thailand estuary. Fishing has long been a primary livelihood here, and the market served as a central spot for selling fresh seafood, fruits, ...
