I want to know how to go to Wat Arun & Wat Pho cheaply by myself!
For you…
I would like to explain 【How to go to Wat Arun & Wat Pho】with Illustrations!
When I went there in 2017 & 2019, there was only a way to go by boat BUT…
In September 2019, A new MRT(train) track was opened! You can also go by train!
So I will introduce two methods, 【Train Route】and【Boat Route】!
Let’s try these two World Heritage Sites by yourself!
You can go there by Train Route $3, Boat Route $2 or less!
