~~Bangkok Photo -- Part 3~~

The day 3 in Bangkok we going for Floating Market and Elephant Ride. Then later at nite we will go to Sky Bar in Bangkok.

We start our journey early in the morning because the Floating Market is far from the city. On the way, we saw a ship turnover in the river !! so suprise... ... damn big ship !!

Along the way is raining, is in the morning and raining... make everyone sleepy... ... and we scare that cannot go to the floating market coz of RAIN !! Let's pray... ... the river dont overflow :D Hahaha !!

Raining all the way...

We reach Floating Market after 1 hour plus traver from our hostel. Mostly everyone sleep all the way. I try not to sleep because abit hard to sleep in the car but i fall asleep too ... ...Want to know how everyone sleep in the car?? hehehehe...here is it :D Before we jump into our boat, the guy explain to us how the tour goes... First, we will go to a Coconut market or can say Coconut factory that makes products out of Coconuts. Then after that we will went to some of the temple and a place where we can feed fishes. After that we will watch some Thai traditional dance then only we will go to the main floating market.

This is our boat ...K4 ... we ride on it to go Floating market...

First time on this kinf of long long boat :) Feel so excited!! Starting the river look like "long kang", so small and like we went through people's backyard, can see aunty washing clothes or take bath there. After a while, we reach the Coconut Farm, is more like a gift shop to me. Got free drink of the Coconut Sap but is toooooo sweet :P

This the Coconut Sap they give us to drink, but is sooooo sweet until i cant even drink it...

After that, we feel hungry and ask the "driver" to stop us to get something to eat -- as lunch. We get a bowl of mee soup to eat first, 2 of us share coz share not nice. You know what? the mee soup is so delicious !! Spicy and delicious !! we cant stop eating it :D

Delicious bowl of mee soup...must try !! :D
See how Bryant finishing the soup!! Sure Guarantee one :D

After the "lunch", we went to the place which we can feed the fishes. When we there, we bought some fish food and start feeding the fish. At first we didnt see any fish but when we start throwing out the food, all the fish jumps up and we see really lots of fish :D Really a lots of them... all fighting for the food!!

All the fish is fighting for food, is really fun to feeding them !!

We make another stop at the Thai culture dance house. They perform a Thai Traditional Dance to us. Actually everyday they got different dance that they will perform to the audience one. You can Tips them if you want, there got a small basket there :)

Finally , we heading to the main market :) There are so many boat and people there. Everyone looking at their own things :D At the middle part really so pack until cannot really move the boat. Is a good exeperience on the Floating market, so many things they can sell there and lots of fresh fruits and delicious foods.

See all those fruits on the boat?? want to eat??

After the Floating market, we went to the Elephant Park just nearby the Floating market. At first i'm very scare to ride on the Elephant, but like what the other say, have to try it if you go Thailand one... different form other ride :) So, i went for the elephant ride ... First, the elephant is smelly, and then the while ride make me feel like i'm doing sit-up all the time, because is so bouncing all the time... each step the elephant make, we are like up and down, up and down ... for the whole half hour.

We travel back to Bangkok city and we went to Sky Bar that locate at State Tower. When we reach there, the Sky Bar not open yet, so we went down to starbucks to have a sit. I feel that the fever is coming, so i eat medicine and sleep there for around half and hour. Around 7pm we went up and hang out there. Each of us order a drinks and chit chat. For sure the photo section is going on by then.
