Next, I tried an iced Americano made from Arabica coffee beans from Phatang in Northern Thailand. It was smooth and refreshing too!

The café does not have air conditioning, but the fans and sea breeze are enough to keep you cool. Even without taking photos, you can enjoy the view of cargo ships entering and leaving the Chao Phraya River. It's well worth the visit!

The 500-meter-long Suk Da Bridge has become one of the most popular tourist spots near Bangkok during the winter.

From November to March each year, thousands of seagulls migrate south to escape the harsh winter in Siberia, Mongolia, China, and Tibet. They find a warm winter home at Bang Pu, making it an excellent spot for bird watching.

During the breeding season, the seagulls return home in late March to build nests, lay eggs, and raise their young. When winter comes, they once again migrate to Bang Pu Seaside.

Bang Pu Seaside tourists

Thanks to Instagram-worthy photos, visitors to Bang Pu Seaside often take pictures feeding the seagulls.

Feeding seagulls

Originally, local restaurants would dispose of leftover pork fat, which attracted seagulls to come and eat. Over time, this became a popular activity for tourists to feed the seagulls. The price ranges from 10 to 50 baht depending on the size.

Feeding seagulls

Holding the pork fat high in the air with one hand, clever seagulls will fly over to snatch it from you. You’ll feel a strong pull on your fingers, but don't worry about getting hurt. You can also throw the pork fat into the air, and the seagulls will swoop down to catch it mid-flight.
