1)    Meditate at a Buddhist Monastery – if you can’t manage a ten-day course visit one for the afternoon and turn all your Social Media off?

2)    Give back to the community at Wat Hua Lamphong – https://goo.gl/maps/BUmHsPLfy3x - this is a sanctuary for farm animals which are not killed for food – whilst you are there pray for good karma. It is also known as the ‘Coffin Temple’ because you can purchase coffins for those who are too poor to buy one.


3)    Gain Wisdom at The Prachan Amulet Market - https://goo.gl/maps/HqHVcrzLMYG2 - a wonderful place to find something special.


4)    Taste the Rainbow at Bangkok’s own Unicorn Café - https://goo.gl/maps/dGbG346VR4G2 - a place which is like a dream in technicolour for those who believe in Unicorns…


5)    Worship David Beckham at Wat Pairwat - https://goo.gl/maps/WtcGxxZGxZo - where David Beckham can be found…

6)    Test your bravery at the Sathorn Unique ‘Ghost Tower - https://goo.gl/maps/rsNpdqGdBs72

Each week we post a link to an article in Bangkok 101 - and the article today is about ‘ The Island of Artisans ’ -  “Visiting the urban oasis of Koh Kret is like taking a step back in time”  – original words by Bruce Scott. A little north of Bangkok is the island of Koh Kret. Interestingly it w as not originally an isl and but in 1722 King Taisra dug a canal so that the boats would not have to follow the meandering Chao Phraya river. This canal gradually got bigger and became a river – Lat Klet. And visiting the island you may think that this was the last time that there was modernization here.
