We have another fun walk for the month of love. This time we are exloring the Banglampoo and Bangkhunprom area. There are all kinds of unusual activity going on there.
We will take the city boat from Hua lumpong to Thewet pier). The 1st stop will be the Bang of thailand learning center. You will get to see a precious collection of ancient coins, banknotes and old photographs. Important rooms include the (1) Ancient Coins Room that displays a vast collection of previous coins from prehistory to current coins., (2) Thai Banknotes Room that sees an evolution of Thai paper money, and (3) The Bank of Thailand 60th Anniversary Room where visitors learn roles and responsibilities of the bank to help strengthen Thai economics.
Wat Sam Praya former name Wat Bangkhun Prom. It was renovated during King Rama 3 by 3 lords who were siblings.
Phipit Banglumpoo museum previously it was Wat Sangwet Printing School. This was the first printing school in Siam, with printing classes in the morning and printing services in the afternoon.
Phra Sumen Fort stands at the northern mouth of Klong Rob Krung, the part of second moat of Rattanakosin era.

"Total distance will be about (4.5 km), so it will probably finish in 3 hours. In case of rain (or shine), best bring the necessary clothing and/or attributes (cap, umbrella, water bottle...). Please bring 300 THB for your tour guide. The refreshments along the route can be paid individually, as you see fit. And as with every other previous walk, we would like to ask to PLEASE leave home on time. When that should be, depends on where you live, but unless you live nearby, we suggest leaving AT LEAST an hour beforehand. The guide can wait for 5 minutes but then the group will leave.

Enjoy the walk "
