Snorkeling is one of the most popular activities for visitors to Koh Mak, Koh Kut and Koh Chang. The best snorkelling sites rival those you’ll find in the south of Thailand. The visibility might not always be as good but you are guaranteed to see large schools of fish. This is an activity that definitely should be on your itinerary.
One of the best spots in the area is Koh Rang. It’s a small uninhabited island that is part of the national park. There are several other islands in the area that are dive and snorkel spots.
Starting at the pier in Koh Mak at 9 am it’s an all day trip with a lunch break around noon. Equipment and guides are provided as well as pickup from your hotel. Cost for the tour was 990 Baht that included a 150 Baht entrance fee for the national park. Thai nationals only pay 30 Baht for the national park fee.
The day we went the water was very rough and not as clear due to the rain. Even with that it was still enjoyable with being able to see the marine ...
Wat Sam Wihan, also known as the Monastery of the Three Preaching Halls and formerly called Wat Sam Phihan, is an active Buddhist temple located north of the historic city island in Ayutthaya Thailand.
It stands near the junction of Khlong Hua Ro and Khlong Mueang, along what was once the course of the Lopburi River, opposite the site of the former Maha Chai Fortress.
The temple is said to have been established around 1377 during the reign of King Boromracha I (also known as Khun Luang Phra Ngua), in the early years of the Ayutthaya Kingdom. According to traditional accounts, Mom Luang Chi Dam and her two younger brothers, Chao Fa Khao and Chao Fa Khiao, all of royal descent, founded the monastery as a place to enshrine the ashes of their mother and other relatives. They divided the construction among themselves, with Mom Luang Chi Dam responsible for the reclining Buddha and its vihara.
The ordination hall received its boundary stones around 1387. The name reflects the original presence of three viharas ...
Khlong Toei wet market, or Talad Khlong Toei, occupies a sprawling site along Rama IV Road in Bangkok’s Khlong Toei district, a short walk from the Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre and Khlong Toei stations on the MRT Blue Line.
The name of the surrounding area recalls an older canal once bordered by fragrant pandan leaves, though much of that waterway was long ago filled to expand the road network.
Today the market forms a dense, labyrinthine complex of permanent stalls under pavilions and open-air lanes where vendors spread their goods under umbrellas, and porters weave carts through crowds of shoppers and the occasional motorbike.
Its history is bound up with the creation of Bangkok Port in the same district. After the Second World War the World Bank helped finance a modern container facility on the Chao Phraya River, one of the first of its kind in Southeast Asia, to handle Thailand’s growing agricultural exports. Migrant workers from Isan, the South, Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar and ...
Last season (2025/26 Thai League 1), Port FC finished a strong 2nd with 60 points from 18 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses (59 goals scored, 23 conceded, +36 GD), behind champions Buriram United (70 points). Lamphun Warriors ended 12th on 29 points (4 wins, 17 draws, 9 losses; 35-47, -12 GD), a mid-to-lower table campaign marked by many draws but limited winning consistency.
Tonight’s early 2026/27 Thai League 1 meeting (Matchday 2) at PAT Stadium sees Port as clear favorites. Port started the new season strongly and sit top after a road win, while Lamphun are bottom with zero points after a defeat and a poor goal difference. Port’s home form, superior squad quality, and recent head-to-head edge. A 2-1 or 2-0 scoreline looked realistic given Port’s attacking options and Lamphun’s defensive vulnerability on the road.
Port delivered exactly that result with a 2-1 home win. Issam Al-Subhi converted a penalty in the 14th minute (after a VAR check) to give the hosts a 1-0 half-time lead. ...
