Once a year Thonburi Palace, the former royal residence of King Taksin, is opened for the public. Then this walk takes us through the earliest part of the Thonburi settlement, when it was a customs port and garrison town Ayutthaya. We are visiting;
- The old palace of King Taksin, it is located in the Royal Navy ground. The palace will be opened just certain time. No one knows it might be close for good.
- Wat Molilokkayaram where King Taksin used for storing salt, and the building is still known as Phra Wiharn Chag Kloa. It is almost invisible and indeed takes some effort to actually find by visitors.
- Recieve monk blessing at Wat Kruewan
- The former residence of King Rama 1 at Wat Rakang (Bell Temple) currently converted to library
- Ban Matoom which has been famous for selling and preserving the fruit of bael.
- Wang Lung market where we will find plenty of stalls selling clothing, footwear, beauty products, an abundance of cheap and fashionable ladies’ clothing for sale.

As usual, kindly prepare 300 THB to join the tour. It pays for your great guide, and it allows us to keep surveying and bring more tours in the future.

Cheers! :)
Reminder : Since we are visiting the palace, the appropiate outfit is required.
