There’s a bit of a water theme going on for the next couple of posts – starting with thunderstorm Thursday and ending with fishy friday and a visit to the River Kwai. This post is my mosey back to the fabulous floating market.
There’s not too much say about Thursday, so I’ll be brief. Jo and I decided to visit the Khlomg Lay Mayom floating market which was at the end of the Sky Train line followed by about a two quid taxi ride – simple! And it was, aside from arriving to find it’s only open on a Friday and Saturday… Grrrr! To top it off the heavens opened and our day became a complete wash out – well not totally, we ended up going to watch Matt Damon in The Martian at MBK 🙂
As a result we were adamant Friday was going to be productive. We’d muted visiting the bridge on the river Kwai, so off we popped to visit our friendly travel agent to see what we could book for the following day.
We decided on a dual trip to the floating markets (Jo hadn’t been before and your know me, water and shopping – two of my favourite things!) combined with a visit the the River Kwai. Sorted – the biggest challenge of the day was to up and ready for 6.30! Don’t worry, we were up and ready.
I love visiting the floating markets, yeh, it’s not real life and so much is staged for the tourists, but still I just love imagining what it must have been like back in the day and you do get the the voyeuristic pleasure of nosing in back gardens. Enjoy the shopping snaps x
