94 Travel | Bangkok BANGKOK RIVERSIDE TOUR 1. Asiatique The Riverside Chao Phraya River Set on the banks of the Chao Phraya River, Asiatique is a night market/mall complex with a whole host of local and international fashion brands, street-food vendors alongside posh restaurants, beer gardens set next to sophisticated wine bars – not forgetting a massive ferris wheel that towers over the riverside. Berlokasi di tepi Sungai Chao Phraya, Asiatique adalah pasar malam yang menjual segala macam merek fesyen lokal maupun internasional, penjual makanan pinggir jalan berjajar dekat restoran-restoran, kedai bir berdekatan dengan bar-bar wine, jangan lupa menjajal bianglala berukuran raksasa. 2. Wat Arun Temple Any sightseeing itinerary along the Chao Phraya River cannot possibly ignore Wat Arun. Along with the Grand Palace, this ancient temple is one of Bangkok’s most iconic temples. Berkunjung ke Sungai Chao Phraya tak lengkap bila tak mengunjungi Wat Arun. Sepanjang Grand Palace, kuil kuno ini adalah salah satu kuil paling ikonis di Bangkok. 3. Sky Bar at Lebua State Tower 4. Wat Sai floating market Take a boat trip along a canal to enter the market and see real Thai life. At the market the food is the stand-out experience, with plenty of fresh local produce for sale. Anda bisa menumpang perahu untuk masuk ke pasar apung dan melihat kehidupan sesungguhnya dari masyarakat Thailand. Nikmati pengalaman luar biasa mencicipi makanan yang dijual di pasar tersebut. 5. Royal Barges Museum Hitting the Sky Bar at the Lebua State Tower is one of the first things visitors to Bangkok do when they arrive in the city. The rooftop bar offers unique views across Bangkok from 63 storeys up. You get a full 360˚ view of the city in all of its glory, especially the Chao Phraya River. Mengunjungi Sky Bar di Lebua State Tower adalah hal pertama yang biasa dilakukan wisatawan begitu mereka menginjakkan kaki di Bangkok. Rooftop bar ini menawarkan panorama indah Bangkok yang bisa dilihat dari ketinggian 63 lantai. Anda bisa mendapatkan sudut pandang 360 derajat, khususnya ke Sungai Chao Phraya. The Royal Barges Museum in Bangkok is home to some of the most spectacular canal boats you’ll ever see, each one painstakingly carved from huge slabs of teak wood, decorated with mythical creatures and painted in bright shades of gold, red and blue. All the barges here are still fully operational, but usually only depart the museum for special occasions such as royal processions along the river. Museum Royal Barges di Bangkok memamerkan sejumlah perahu luar biasa yang pernah Anda lihat, setiap perahu dibuat langsung dari kayu jati, dilukisi sejumlah karakter mistis dan dicat warna terang seperti emas, merah dan biru. Seluruh perahu ini masih bisa beroperasi, tetapi biasanya hanya dijalankan keluar museum saat acara khusus seperti prosesi kerajaan di sungai.
