Tour Guide which we booked earlier came
Name = Youth, funny guy
talks japanese better than us =X
Here comes our DaY 2 Plan.
Just Plan..
we followed the guide to a pier
which is above.. just a simple pier, but can c different different things ^^
Some local ppl like to take bath here
or wash their clothes here
I wonder if the clothes can be clean
taking bath here i noticed actually is very dangerous
when the boat came near to the pier,
it actually creates a wave
which can be deadly
That's the boat we took for our coming tour - CaNaL TouR
above wasnt the boat we took of coz,
is a abandoned boat which gave me an old-school feel
so i took it black n white
got the chance to test out my new camera also XD
We went to the end of the canal tour, which is a mini zoo i can say
there is a performance going on inside
which is a snake show, ppl playing with jumping snakes etc
but we din go for that, as we think it is not tat special
we stayed outside, taking pictures and chatting
Then 1 uncle came, selling coconut ice cream on a boat
ice cream is good and sweet ^^ i ate 2 cups
This is how he sells ice cream
1 more thing i discovered is their boats
they use truck engines
which they say it is stronger than any other engines ^^ woohoo..
At the beginning, we wanted to take sky train to few temples by our own
however some of them suggested
the tour guide is here, y dun we just ask him to take us round ?
so we talked to him and say ok.. ON LAA !!
he brought us to 3 temples.. dunno wat pho wat dunno wat ==
i cant really remember their names
is short but i just cant memorize them..
First 1 we went is a temple full of Buddha
First 1 we saw is sleeping buddha
at the back of the sleeping buddha, ppl tend to buy coins
and put them into the pot as follow.
1 by 1 until the end. cant remember how many pots in total
but they say it can bring those who put all the pots, LonG LiFe.
That temple full of all these towers
which actually is a memorial for those who passed away
There are names and pictures at the bottom of this tower
There are too many buddha statues in this temple
for more pictures XD
look for my facebook photos - HERE
Next,we arrived the next temple name the wat pho i think..
Temple of the Dawn
Before we proceed, feel things to keep in mind
this temple is free for locals,foreigners have to pay including us
no shorts that shorter than knees are allowed
Thats y gals ended up like below
1 thing funny i discovered outside this place
which is a pink color boat
I tot this boat leads us to somewhere and gonna head for it..
but realized actually it is a mini bank
for currency exchange
the stairs are so steep and small..
kind of scary climbing this.
From the peak, we can see the chao phraya river and many other temples
and buildings..
Some other temples in view
Going down is also a difficulty to me,
in fact is more difficult than going up ><
Followed by, is the last temple we visited
It is a smaller temple with just a few Buddha statues and king statues
BiG SpeaKeR..woohoo..
It is a simple shop which sells simple fishball noodles
but the noodles are dam excellent
I also noticed that, the shop was promoted in the newspaper advertisement
on the wall ^^
we are lucky to discovered this shop
we enjoyed the food, and i ate 2 bowls XD
after eating, we continued our journey to the "WesT"
sorry this blog seems longer winded than other blogs
as too many to write
We continue walking and pass through a very nice park
and we continue walking until we reached a mall
and we found wat we are looking for, McDoNaLds !!!
in stead of Mcdonalds, they named it McTHai !!
We are so excited
as we know McThai has Pork in it XD
however the burgers are not well served like i expected
WoW !! I ordered above.. TRIPLE BEEF !!
it comes like this
What the hack is this ??
pork burger.. blurgh...
Jump topic..
We walked along the streets again and this time
we headed to a night bazaar
When we about to take the sky train,
under the station, there is a night market going on.
we shopped here, and only then
we headed to the next stop
We walked along the bazaar and wow !! there are tons of things can be purchased
but we din get to buy any
We came to bangkok somehow for pork,
and we dun wanna ended up we are the pork
Camera dead after that
however nothing special
we headed back to hotel by sky train and walk
