Why tour here
to get access to this Pier to feed the fish you have to enter from the main road through the historical temple Yan Nawa
the temple has several attractions, the Chedi in the Boat (Chinese Junket), the original temple behind the boat towards the river, under the main building (North) is an incredible display of amulets and statues and finally take the stairs to the rooftop temple

here you can buy fish food to feed the fish and make a wish or buy birds and fish and set them free
