Well day three and the final day is here.....! What a day we've had.....!
I have uploaded the pictures this evening... its taken some time but hey we go there...!
This moring we started out by heading to the Floating Market.... that was out of this world....! I didnt think such things like that existed still these days....! Absolutley crazy....! The houses line the water edges, kids playing and washing in the dirtiest of water, and adults doing their weekly washing in it to....! A very big eye opener as to how these people actually live.
After and hour or so venturing around the waterways we headed into town with our taxi driver, Mr Lert, who was then going to take us to the Buddhist Monastery.
These monastery's are absolutley massive. you can't describe the sheer sizr of them in words or photos.... you just have to see them. This particular on was the home of the sleeping buddah and has been there for 220 years. 26 years longer than Bangkok has been on the map, and the detail on these buildings is something else.... We entered 3 of the shrines where i stuck a laef of gold onto the buddah and lit some joss sticks and candles. It felt a bit wierd but i thought hey, i'll do my bit whilst I'm here...! Scott was still god smacked by the place even as we left.... he couldnt get his head around how big and how detailed the buildings were....! I must admit it was a bit mad....!
We are leaving Bangkok tomorrow afternoon to fly down to Phuket. Its been an experience being here, glad we can all say we've been here and done it, thought cant wait to get out and down south to the islands.... Farewell Bangkok, Phuket here we come....!
