Muang On Cave Exlporation Chiang Mai Caving
Muang On Cave is located in the foothills just 35km outside of Chiang Mai City. The pleasant drive gives way to the brutal 180 step Naga stairway before reaching the cave mouth. From there it is hundreds of steps down to the amazing caverns, filled with shrines, geological formations, and maybe even a dinosaur.
Amphawa Floating Market, Samut Songkhram, Thailand. ( 10 )
Amphawa Floating Market.
I visited this Floating market in 2011, but I picked a day when it was closed, so I only got to do the river cruise. It seems there are two cruises from Amphawa, turning left out of the market which I did in 2011 and turning right out of the market. The left hand cruise took me down the Mae Klong River visiting mainly restaurants and small stores selling produce. The one cruise turning right took me to a number of Temples which catered for anyone calling there. The cruise I did in 2015 was 50 Baht each, the one I did in 2011 was 700 Baht for the boat trip taking 4 people. This river trip is well worth the time for the money you get to see many parts of the area from the river.
The one trip turning right however is perhaps the more interesting one. Taking in 5 temple visits. The last however was a disappointment. The temple was beautiful enough but the many animals in pens there was not good. I found it strange for Buddhist monks to allow this. Many of the animals were quite distressed under the hot unbearable mid day sun with no shelter. The pens they kept them in were not too clean, I am not against zoo’s, as such providing the animals are clean, fed well, have enough shelter and room to move about, but clearly at this temple they did not. So this was a sad part of the river trip for me.
Amphawa is in the Province of Samut Songkhram, its neighbours being Phetchaburi, Ratchaburi and Samut Sakhon Provinces. Locally Samut Songkhram is known as Mae Klong from the name of the river that flows through it. The province is the smallest of all the Thai Provinces. This Province is famous for the famous train market, Mae Klong Market, The Market is on a daily used rail track. Two trains a day run along this section at around 10.45 and 13.00 hours. All manner of items are available here. Its also called the umbrella market, due to to all the market stalls folding back their awnings of the stalls along the market here to let the train run through.
Originally constructed as a private line to take sea produce from the fishing ports of Samut Sakhon and Samut Songkhram to the markets of Bangkok, it later became part of the State Railway of Thailand, though it was never physically connected to the rest of the network. This little known line has a great charm, passing through surprisingly unspoilt countryside, and apparently ending in the middle of the fresh food market ( known as the Train Market ) in Samut Songkhram. It is a wonderful sight to see all these market stalls fold back their awnings of their stalls to let the train run through. Most of them don’t even bother to move most of the food on display. I cannot see how the dripping water from the train can add to the nutritional value of this food however!
The Floating market is held on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, they advertise from 12.00 pm to 08.00 pm. But I arrived at about 10.30 am and was able to secure a shaded car park under a tree, before all the visitors arrived. Amphawa is a district or Amphoe of Samut Songkhram Province, located slightly inland at the northwestern tip of the Bay of Bangkok. It is about two hours from Bangkok, passing through the suburbs of Bangkok where many road works were being made for the new extension of the Sky Train. Along the Pet Kasem road, and through Bang Khae. The addition of this new Sky Train extension will be an added bonus to this part of Bangkok.
In the Ayutthaya period, the area of Amphawa was known as Khwaeng Bang Chang, a small agricultural and commercial community, specialising in farming. During the reign of Prasat Thong the existence of a market here was very prominent to the local economy. In 1766, the later King Buddha Loetla Nabhalai ( Rama II ) was born in this area, as his father was serving as governor of Ratchaburi at that time. At his birthplace is now a Memorial Park with four buildings in traditional style of that area and time factor, displaying art as well as lifestyle in those times.. There are many temples of rich beauty and design & historical significance in this area, but two of the most interesting are Wat Bang Kung, famous for a small chapel that is completely enclosed within the roots of a banyan tree and Wat Bangkae Noi which has quite a breathtaking view because the interior walls and ceiling of the main chapel have intricate teakwood carvings depicting the life and teachings of the Lord Buddha.
