Another interesting trip to Nakhon Pathom
If you want to visit a quiet charming town, why don't you come to Nakhon Pathom province. It is just a small town which is very near to Bangkok and takes only 50 minutes to arrive there.
I am the one who lives in Nakhon Pathom and proudly presents my hometown. If you are bored at the traffic in Bangkok, please think of Nakhon Pathom as your choice. There, you will see a lot of interesting places which relate to Thailand history and plenty of delicious food that can make your stomach full.
It is very easy to get there. You can take a bus No. 997, 83 from the Southern Bus Terminal , or if you like to travel by train, you also can take a train from any station in Bangkok. Above all, it is so convinient for you to drive a car. The road is very smooth.
Here is one of the most enchanting tourist attractions in Nakhon Pathom.
Phra Pathom Chedi, the largest pagoda in Thailand . Phra Pathom Chedi is the official provincial symbol of Nakhon Pathom. As soon as you arrive there, you will be able to feel peaceful in you mind. You can do a merit and pray at the Lord Buddha. Within the monastery compound, there are various interesting historical items, including the Phra Ruang Rodjanarith, an image of Buddha bestowing pardon, is enshrined in a vihara located to the North and in front of Phra Pathom Chedi. The visitors always visit this pagoda and pray at the Buddha image for their safety and wishes.
At night, start from 4 pm, there are so many food stalls on the left side of the pagoda. I can say all the food is nice and also cheap. One of the most famous shops is Sky-High ice cream. They sell Thai-style ice cream but the difference is the way the serve ice cream. I will show a photo next time.
This is all for now. Next time I will bring you to another beautiful place of Nakhon Pathom- Sanam Chan Palace.

Tips on Trip to Kanchanaburi, Thailand
A few more tips about a trip to Kanchanaburi. The bus to Kanchanaburi leaves every hour starting from 4 am until late at night from Southern Bus Terminal near Pinklao. You can take a bus there or more convemiently, by a taxi. Ask for Kanchanaburi ticket box to a guard as the terminal is a little confusing. You don't need to book a ticket in advanced as it is very easy to get a ticket. It takes about two hours to Kanchanaburi. When you get there, you can hire a pick up near the bus station. You should visit the Hell Fire Pass Museum, and the Tiger Temple where they keep tigers and you can take photos with the tigers.
Don't worry. They won't bite you. And from there, take a train back to Kanchanaburi. The train actually goes back to Bangkok, but the trip from Kanchanaburi to Bangkok is really boring. So take off at Kanchanaburi after taking photos at the Bridge over river Kwai.Oh, by the way, don't forget to visit the JEATH War Museum and Allied War Cemetry there too.

Train trip in Thailand
Here are some nice pictures I have taken when i was visiting Thailand last year February.
This is the train carriage that we (me and my girlfriend) took to visit Kanchanaburi state waterfall. Actually the waterfall isn't much interesting. The train ride along the countryside of Thailand and see the beautiful rural environment of Thailand is a wonderful experience for me.
This picture was taken when the train stopped for a while to view the legendary 'Bridge on the river Kwai'
The bridge on the river Kwai.
See the actual bridge on the river Kwai that has been destroyed around 1945.
There are a few other excursion train routes that allow the tourists or visitors of Thailand to visit such places. The details for Thailand state railway lines can be found here.
