YouTube Video Description

Our 7th VLOG covers our trip into the Gulf of Thailand as we headed towards Bangkok. It was a lazy sea day but we made the most of some rest and relaxation after a frenetic 1st week on the cruise. Our planned port of Laem Shebang had to be switched to the Sriracha but our TUI booked excursion was rescheduled to collect us from the altered port. We took the Temples Canals and Shops excursion. It was a long coach ride into the city but our guide made it interesting. First we were dropped off at the Grand Palace. This tour did not include entry however. Then a hike across the city to the river were boarded a canal boat. We were treated to a 50 minute tour round the city canals taking in the sights. Dropped off at the magnificent Way Arun temple we had time to explore this wondrous place of worship. It's simply beautiful. Then a further hike to catch a bus which took us to the Skytrain which risked us across the city to the MBK shopping mall. An hour here to shop and eat lovely tasty Thai food. Then the long trip back to the ship where we ate in the Surf & Turf restaurant which didn't live up to previous experiences sadly. This was a frenetic but enjoyable day however. #marella #marellacruises #bangkok #cruisevlog #marelladiscovery2 #cruise #mbkshopping Please subscribe to see more content like this - https://youtube.com/@CooksExplore?sub_confirmation=1
