The Island is about 4km long and about 2km wide and has about a thousand residents most of whom live in the main village called Naban. Most of the people that live here also work and go to school on the island. Any of the everyday necessities are here including a police force and a small medical facility.

There are many activities here for visitors to enjoy, some include para sailing, snorkeling, jet ski, banana boat, swimming in tropical waters, and there is even a shooting range located here.

Thailand is a great place to get tattoo work done. It's safe as all the shops use new needles, autoclave, and sterilize everything. Tattoo's in Thailand tend to be much cheaper than the west even though most of the shops visited used American inks.

Standing on the West bank of the Chao Phraya River, Wat Arun is one of Bangkok’s most visible and photographed landmarks. Wat Arun consists of one large Kmer style tower, called a Prang, and four smaller prangs. Construction of the Wat began under King Rama II and was completed under King Rama III. The main prang is 250 feet tall and over 760 feet in circumference at it’s base surrounded by rows of demons and monkeys. The narrow and steep staircase leads to a balcony high up on the central prang. It is possible to go up the stairs to a certain point and the views from here are stunning. Across the river you can see the Grand Palace as well as the Temple of the Emerald Buddha and Wat Po. The exterior of the prangs are inlaid with thousands of pieces of multi-colored Chinese porcelain that at one time was used as ballast on boats coming to Thailand from China. Early in it’s life Wat Arun housed the great Emerald Buddha before it was moved to nearby Wat Phra Kaew. The prangs of Wat Arun are probably it’s best known feature but once inside the grounds you’ll see beautiful old shrines, gardens and pools with turtles. The Wat and it’s grounds are remarkable but I think it’s true beauty is seen from a distance. Some of the most beautiful pictures taken of Wat Arun are usually from across the river or from a river boat at sunset. Once a year Wat Arun becomes a central figure in The Royal Tod Kathin Festival. The highlight of this festival is when the King and a procession of royal barges makes it’s way down river to deliver new robes to the monks after the three month period of lent has ended.

Chatuchak Market owes its origin to Field Marshal Plaek Phibulsongkram, the late prime minister of Thailand (1938-1944, 1948-1957), who came up with the idea of setting up a flea market in every town. As a result, the first flea market in Bangkok was held at Sanam Luang and was called Sanam Luang flea Market. However, there was time when the place was needed for other special functions and the flea market was then relocated to Saranrom Palace and settled there for 8 years. After that, it was moved again to Sanam Chai. But because of the limited space, it had to be moved back to Sanam Luang. In the same year, the government issued a policy to turn Sanam Luang into a public park for citizens of Bangkok and to be the venue to celebrate 200-year-anniversary of Bangkok, which would be held in 1982. Thus, it was decided that the flea market would be held at the Phahonyothin area from then on and it is later called Chatuchak Market after the nearby park under the same name.
