Amphawa bustles at night, with firefly-watching boats crisscrossing the water.
Walk back to the pier to take a boat to see the fireflies.
The boatmen did not take us into the canal where the crowd was watching, because our boat was too big.
A short boat ride along the riverbank near the Rattanakosin Island will reveal the flickering glow of fireflies.
In reality, I wasn't excited about the fireflies because I knew them well. As a child, I even enjoyed chasing them.
Despite the darkness, I managed to film a clip. Success!
The sight of fireflies brought a sense of peace and tranquility. It was time to return to the resort and rest.
Across the "Wat Paknam Suspension Bridge" once again.
The night lights make it even more beautiful.
