From what I recall, we had a stopover in a sugar cane/orchid farm, instead of an Elephant park because some people were too slow at the breakfast buffet :/ . However, I really couldn't recall seeing any orchid, or any much at all earlier that day HAHAHA- oh wait except for this one:

THIS IS GOLD

IDK, I think Thais have a penchant for personalization. In my 4 days there, I've had 2 instances where my face wound up in a souvenir item without my permission. Some of my co-workers bought the plates with their own faces, however I did not buy this one-I mean, imagine eating something delicious, then halfway you see your face frowning, as if frowning at you for pigging out junk again.

Anyway, moving on...

Ah, yes ate?

I actually just realized now that the floating market we went to was not located in Bangkok hahaha! I remember it took us around an hour and a half going there coming from our hotel in Baiyoke. The entrance going to the floating market itself doesn't appear as if in just a few meters there's a canal system waiting for you. Unlike the Venetian canal, where the gondola glides and makes smooth ripples in the water, here the boats you hop on are as fast as if you're in a jet ski chase scene in an action movie hahaha! If my memory serves me right, the floating market we went to was Amphawa, and unlike the other ones in Thailand they don't really sell that much in the water, since majority of the sellers are already in land. But instead of being disappointed by the fact that I won't be able to experience the authentic feeling of buying something while sitting prettily in a boat, instead I keep this in mind instead:

Imagine being stuck there and you need to pee soooo bad!

What will you find in the shops, you asked?




👕 Basketball jerseys (Why would you even???) and the like. For Women:
👖 For Women: Shorts, Short skirts above the middle of your calf, tights, leggings, denim pants, ripped jeans, and the like
👖 For Men: Shorts, Denim pants, ripped jeans and the like.
3. BRING A PASHMINA if you're unsure whether you are wearing something inappropriate, cover up with your pashmina or scarf.
4. Be prepared with a photo of your passport. The security sometimes check it, so just be prepared.
5. You are not allowed to seat on the ledges, or better yet be mindful where you seat, unless you wouldn't mind paying a 2,000 baht fine.

Hmmm yes?

You can crop me out if you wanna focus on the beauty of the palace ahahaha!

The Grand Palace tour was tiring but amazing! There were a lot of people at the time we went there, so just looking at the myriad of people taking photos and milling around exhausted me hahaha! The palace, in real life, is amazing-actually the word amazing wouldn't do justice on how majestic it looks.The one in my photo above shows the Phra Thinang Chakri Maha Prasat, and I suppose it was one of the residences of the Thai royals. Aside from that, The Grand Palace houses multiple temples, which are all stunning. If you love admiring architectural marvels, this is the place to be.
