Muang Thong United hosts Port FC in a battle at the Thunderdome Stadium in Muang Thong Thani. Muang Thong sits in 6th place, 1 point behind Port currently in 5th, in Thailands top league. This is a very important game for both teams for final season standings. The winner has a chance to finish in the top 3 for next year tournament invitations while the other will be on the outside looking in.
As always the Port fans came out in force to support their team. Facing a team that has the bad blood and animosity from close games over the years makes this a game that can’t be missed.
This is also the first time in 9 years that Port fans have been allowed back into the Thunderdome Stadium after some issues between groups of super fans. Port allowed them to come last year and also the game in the first leg of this season.
The expectations for both teams is a win and we were rewarded with a great game with chances on both ends.

Taling Chan Floating Market is a small market built on the banks of a local Klong (canal). It was founded in 1987 and has become a part of the local community.
In Thailand markets are part of the fabric of life, from morning fresh food markets to evening markets that seem to cover city blocks, shopping and food are necessities for Thai culture. One of the popular things to do is to take the family to a floating market to eat and shop from the locals.
Taling Chan Floating Market is just a short trip for people from Bangkok to escape the city and enjoy the market. About 30-45 minutes outside of downtown Bangkok it’s an easy trip to experience a great part of Thai culture.
In addition to food people can take boat tours on the canals and see more of the area. Worth a trip for anyone that has a half a day to spend making great memories.

Wat Chaiyaphrueksamala
Wat Chaiyaphrueksamala Ratchaworawihan วัดชัยพฤกษมาลาราชวรวิหาร known in short as Wat Chaiyaphrueksamala and Wat Chaiyaphruek is a second-class royal Buddhist temple in ratchaworawihan type. It is located beside Khlong Maha Sawat, around the mouth of the canal, where it converges with Khlong Bangkok Noi, northeast of Taling Chan District. Across Khlong Maha Sawat is an area of Tambon Wat Chalo, Bang Kruai District, Nonthaburi Province.
The temple was built during the Ayutthaya period. On founding the new city at Thonburi in 1767, some brick structures of the temple were disassembled and the brick removed for use in the construction of the new city wall.
During the reign of King Rama I (1782–1809), the Crown Prince Chim (later King Rama II) attempted to rebuild this abandoned temple, but the construction was not completed because of the war with Burma. The work was not undertaken again until 1851 when King Rama IV (1851–1868) ...
Wat Worapho (Wat Rakang วัดระฆัง)
Wat Wora Pho is located in the west of Cha Krai Ya (Klong Toh) canal. It is unknown when it was built or by who. Records indicate that Phra Si Sin who later become King Song Tham (1620-1628) was a high ranked monk at this temple. So the temple was built before the reign of King Song Tham.
Formerly. the temple was know as Wat Rakang or the temple of the bell. In the reign of King Borommakot (1732-1758) the name of the temple was changed as Wa Wora Pho. This because of a sacred banyon tree was sent to the king from Ceylon and it was planted at this temple.
The temple design is much different than what is normally seen in Ayutthaya. It’s also near many other sites and worth a short stop to see.
