Chill out at BKK part 2
Now for your Sunday, it will be great if you are taking a night flight back to Singapore. Coz only so you will be able to enjoy your Sunday in BKK. For the start in the morning take a train ride (BTR is wat they call it in Thai) to Saphan Taksin from there take a ferry all the way to Wat Po ferry stop. At Wat Po they have the famous Sleeping Buddha take a tour in the temple itself. After all the walking & carrying heavy shopping bags enjoy the traditional massage in the temple. All the licensed traditional massage parlor in Bangkok trains & get their certificate at Wat Po.
For your convenience here’s the Bangkok skytrain map http://www.guidetothailand.com/maps-thailand/bangkok-skytrain.htm

After Wat Po if you do have time still, visit the Bangkok river cruise start the river cruise from the Sathorn Pier.
Bangkok is changing fast, but if you still want a close up of traditional Thai life, explore some of Bangkok’s waterways. The network of canals (klongs) branching out from the main Chao Phraya river still follows an old lifestyle that leaves the modern face of Bangkok behind.
Small interconnecting canals sustain a traditional lifestyle where mobile shops, “floating kitchens” and water taxi services ensure a local pace. While it is not difficult to hire a boat by yourself, a guided tour provides an insight into the lifestyle, rather than just a plain sightseeing trip. Choose a klong tour which stops at some of Bangkok’s other places of interest, like the Royal Barges Museum and Wat Arun, or why not combine with a rice barge cruise along the Chao Phraya river. An excellent way to get to know a special part of Bangkok.

After enjoying a day of sight seeing, I guess its time to head back to your hotel & start getting ready to fly back to Singapore. Enjoy your trip…cheers
