In reply to Nicole. I had no idea about the four religions in the Erawan Museum; I'll have to go back and check it out again! And thanks for your insight about the snacks!! Everything in Thailand is delicious but I usually don't know what anything is called! :)

Great article – I live in Bangna, which is near to Samut Prakan, and the only place I have seen on your list is the Erawan Museum. It is pricey, but worth it I think – inside it is divided into 4 sections and each one presents beautiful details and history of 4 major religions: Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, and Hinduism. By the way, your snack that looks like little tacos is called “kanom bueang”, crispy pancakes. The green ones might be “kanom krok”, coconut pancakes, but they look more flat than the usual ones which are usually half-spheres.

I’m like you, I love exploring small towns and villages! Samut Prakan looks really lovely and the market would definitely be one of the first things I’d check out! The Erawan Museum sounds very interesting, too.

I really want to have authentic and quintessential Thai experience, so I would definitely visit Samut Prakan. Temples would be the first thing I would look out here. Wat Phichai Songkhram temple really looks splendid and it would be first on my tour list. I loved the interiors of The Erawan Museum, especially the interiors of ceiling.

OMG, the food, the Erawan Museum, Wat Asokaram and the other temples, so many amazing things to see. You have really captured a week’s worth of cool sites. I haven’t been to this part of the world yet, but I would want to do all of the things you recommended. Amazing photos!

I also love visiting small cities. I prefer to explore a place where I can see what everyday life of local people looks like rather than walk around the must-see attractions in some tourist spot. I would love to visit Pak Nam Fresh Market and try some local delicacies. I love such places. The temples also look amazing.

I love the intracacy of the Thai temples. You really captured them so well and I enjoyed the way you came to the decision to travel to this unique destination. The food at the night market looked especially delicious. Was it more so than major towns?

When you traveled quite a lot already, especially to those popular places, you would really want to visit the off the beaten paths. I love being a small town girl!

I loved that you went out of the box and explored a small town in Thailand. I would have had a hard time without English signs but that just makes it more authentic. Those temples are amazing – and even better that it is mostly locals there. Like you, I like to try street food as well. I wonder what is that taco looking thing in your second photo. It all looks delicious (well, except for the market but as you said, it is the real deal!).

Totally sold on small town Thailand and this looks absolutely delightful!! The temples are just beautiful and I like being off the beaten path. Pak Nam has to be on my list for visiting Thailand.
