🏛️ Old Bangkok in One Day – Wat Pho, Museum Stops & Film Cam Feels 🎞️

Spent the day exploring the charming area around Tha Tien, and it felt like walking through living history — with my film camera in hand, of course.

⸻

📍 Wat Pho (The Reclining Buddha)
One of my all-time favorite temples in Bangkok. Peaceful courtyards, intricate architecture, and the massive reclining Buddha that never gets old — especially through the lens of a film camera.

💸 Entrance Fee: 200 THB
🎞️ Best time for soft lighting: Early morning or late afternoon

⸻

📍 Museum Siam (aka “Yim Museum”)
Walked just a few minutes to Museum Siam, which is both fun and educational. Interactive exhibits, quirky photo zones, and air-con to escape the heat — what’s not to love?

💸 Entrance Fee: 100 THB (Thai nationals)
🎯 Don’t miss the “Decoding Thainess” zone!

⸻

🚇 MRT Sanam Chai Station
Probably one of the most photogenic train stations in the city. It feels like stepping into a grand Thai palace underground — even the floor tiles are snap-worthy!

🎞️ Tip: Bring extra film rolls — everything here is aesthetically pleasing.

⸻

🍽️ Bonus: Street food & café hopping around Tha Tien
From mango sticky rice to riverside coffee shops, there are plenty of cute stops between spots. Don’t rush it!

⸻

📸 My Setup:
• Camera: Olympus MJU-II
• Film: Kodak Gold 200
• Mood: Slow travel, analog vibes, city soul.

⸻

✨Perfect for a solo chill day or slow walking date. History, art, temples, and a bit of nostalgia – all in one route.
