TO CAMBODIA VIA CHANTHABURI PROVINCE
Most foreigners use the Aranyaprathet–Poipet crossing to get into Cambodia, with access possible by bus via Chanthaburi. There are also two less used crossings in Chanthaburi province, giving access to the Cambodian town of Pailin, just east of the border. Daung Lem Border Crossing at Ban Laem is 88km northeast of Chanthaburi (not served by public transport) and the Phsa Prom border crossing is at Ban Pakkard (aka Chong Phakkat), 72km northeast of Chanthaburi. There’s a minibus service in the morning from Chanthaburi (just south across the bridge from The River Guest House) to Ban Pakkard (1hr; B150). It’s best to arm yourself in advance with an e-visa for Cambodia, but it’s also possible to get a thirty-day visa on arrival at the border; if entering Thailand via this route you’ll probably be obliged to show proof of onward travel from Thailand.

The Rivers And Canals Of Bangkok
Bangkok was founded in 1782 and ever since the rivers and canals have been the main mode of transportation. The interlinked network of natural and man-made canals ended giving Bangkok the title of Venice of the East.
Even today, Bangkok’s river and canals are used to get around the city and many locals prefer this mode of transportation to any other.
People visiting Bangkok say that one cannot leave the city without visiting the temples of Bangkok. However, one should not leave the city without taking a ride on the river and canals of Bangkok.
Chao Phraya Express Boat
This is one of the cheapest boat trips in Bangkok. The Chao Phraya Express Boat service runs between the pier at Wat Ratsingkhon, which is near Krungthep Bridge in Yannawa District, and Nonthaburi clock tower.
The trip gives a view of the temples, churches, palaces and the royal boat house which are alongside the river, and it takes 40 minutes from start to finish. This boat service runs from 5:30 am to 6:00 pm and the cost depends on the distance traveled.
Klong Mon
There are boats that make the trip to Klong Mon and these boats leave every 30 minutes from the River City pier on Charoen Krung Road. The boat trip gives a fascinating glimpse of rural life as it passes through orchards and orchid farms.
Klong Saen Saeb
This one of the main city routes for commuters and shoppers. This canal runs from the Phan Fa Bridge through the main shopping districts of Bo Bae, Ratchathewi, Ratchadamri, Pratunam, Chitlom and Ramkhamhaeng.

The Bangkok Corrections Museum - Prison Life in a Thai Jail
The Bangkok Corrections Museum in Maha Chai Road preserves gruesome aspects of Thai prison history and the brutal prison life before reforms were made to the penal system.
It's located on the site of a former Bangkok maximum security prison built in 1890, during the reign of King Chulalongkorn (King Rama V) after a study visit to the prisons in Singapore.
The prison museum was first established in 1939, in another prison, the Bang Kwang Central Prison, as a training center for corrections officers. Located in Nonthaburi just outside Bangkok, the Bang Kwang Central Prison has earned the dubious sobriquet, "Bangkok Hilton".
In 1987, the Thai government decided to demolish the prison in Maha Chai Road. Three blocks, a cellblock, a side of the prison wall and two watchtowers were preserved to establish the Bangkok Corrections Museum. The rest of the prison compound was converted to a public park.
The park was named Romanni Nart Park and officially opened on 7 August 1999 by His Royal Highness Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn.
The old penal system was based on retribution through severe punishment and suffering. This is painfully apparent as one goes through the exhibits in the museum.
The ground floor of Block 1 in the Bangkok Corrections Museum where our tour starts, features photographs of the old prison compound and the process of demolition. There's a scaled model of the old prison compound then and the park and museum now, a stark contrast.
The exhibits upstairs are grisly; life-size waxed figures in execution scenes. Previously, condemned prisoners were flogged 90 times before being beheaded by sword. Three executioners are used to ensure that the job gets done.
King Prajadhipok (King Rama VII) abolished this practice in 1934.
The rifle replaced the sword. The condemned prisoner is tied behind a screen with his back to the screen. The executioner fires a pre-aligned rifle mounted on a tripod from the other side of the screen. Photographs display the gory results of both forms of execution.
Executions in Thailand were changed to lethal injection in October 2003.
Blocks 2 & 3 of the Bangkok Corrections Museum are a pleasant reprieve from the mock execution chambers. These blocks exhibit furniture and handicraft, of a high quality, made by prisoners from all over the Thailand. The items are for sale.
The last stop in the Bangkok Corrections Museum is through the gate in the old prison wall fronting Rommani Nart Park. Block 9 is a preserved two-story cellblock in the old prison compound, not a place for the fainted-hearted.
Cells in this block exhibit the execution frame to which the condemned prisoner is tied, crockery for the last meal, gambling and drugs paraphernalia used by prisoners.
Other cells display tools for the brutal punishment of prisoners, a display made more gruesome by the life-size figures used:
A rattan ball pierced with nails into which the prisoner is trussed. An elephant is used to kick the rattan ball around!
A coffin-like box, with a perforated lid, in which a prisoner is bound and left to bake in the sun with the lid closed.
Sharpened bamboo sticks driven by a mallet under the nails of prisoners whose hands are fixed in wooden vices...
In 1908, as part of penal reforms, King Chulalongkorn (King Rama V) abolished all these barbarous tortures.
The pleasant Rommani Nart Park today belies the horrors of the prison it replaced. Old men sit and watch the day go by as teenagers engage in robust ball games. The torture and sufferings in past prison life seemed so distant, preserved only in the Bangkok Corrections Museum.
In 2005, some social scientists in Thailand have commented that the prisons are getting too comfortable to serve as deterrence!
Has the pendulum swung the other way?

Muang Boran - The Ancient City in Bangkok
The vast piece of land, spreading over 200 acres, resembling the shape of Thailand with many original and reproductions of buildings, monuments and statues, was built up under the patronage of Lek Viriyaphant and considered as the largest open air museum in the world. It is situated in Samut Prakan province and close to the Crocodile Farm and consists of the beautiful gardens, some of which are depicting Thai legends.
The replicas in the ancient city have been constructed with the support of professionals of the national museum in order to make sure that their historical accuracy would be shown as it is. Also some buildings are life-size models of existing and former sites, and the others are one-third scale. Muang Boran has sculptures from the Thai legend, "the Ramakien" which demonstrates the Royal Barge procession, and a model Thai village in which craftsmen have used ceramics, paper umbrellas and lacquer items as building materials.
The floating market in the ancient city is another major part of the attraction which has been filled with water. In this lake there are flocks of large fish that can be fed with local food. And nay one can feast the tasty food including traditional Thai food according to his or her selection in the floating restaurant. Also we can see small shops selling Thai handicrafts and souvenirs to the tourists which are not in very higher prices. The most admirable fact is that the entrance fee is just 300 THB which is a very reasonable amount comparing to what can be gained out of it and every visitor gets free use of a bicycle during the open time from 8am to 5pm in order to explore the whole area.
Also to mention some of the other outstanding works in this legendary city, the former Grand Palace of Ayutthaya can be mentioned. But it was ruined by the Burmese during the invasion in 1767. And Phimai Sanctuary also can be mentioned as one of the key attractions within the ancient city. The common factor of these constructions is that the plan and ornaments of the structure have been affected by their real historical ruins and the relevant documents in order to keep its original forms.
And another important fact for those prefer to have a long stay a number of Bangkok service apartments such as Royal President are located near by the Muang Boran that welcomes the visitors offering superior level facilities with reasonable charging.
