THAILAND TOUR

Today Daniel and I went on a tour outside of Bangkok. The day started at 5:55am and we were picked up at 6:45am to head straight to the Floating Market. This was of course after we drove half way around Bangkok picking up other tour passengers. By 9:15 we were at the Floating Market where the local people sell their produce and goods off boats and the side of the canals. Its like Venice without its beauty...lol We left the market on a long boat and ended up at a Snake show that we did not bother to see cause we couldn't justify 200baht (au$6) to see some indian dude playing with his snake. If I really wanted to see that I could look out my window at home in Australia and watch it for free. We then went to the Bridge over the River Kwai, the same bridge the movie was made about. It was to me just a bridge over a dirty river. On the other side of the river we fed an elephant some banana's and then got back to the tour bus From there we headed a further 1.5 hours out of town to where we were supplied 'lunch'. I say 'lunch' cause only a few of us on the tour ate more than a few mouthfuls before heading to the kiosk for a can of pepsi max and a bag of chips. A further 40 mins away we ended up at the climate to the day....the Tiger Temple. There we got to sit with tigers and have our pics taken. There were adult tigers and 6 month old cubs. We had pics with both. At this temple the monks supposably take care of the big cats but I only saw the one monk and he seemed to be off with the fairys.....maybe he has the only ganja in Thailand. Tomorrow we head back to the land of nothing for the ParaGames...... oh how I wish the protesters would take over the Bangkok Int Airport so we could stay here longer....... See you in China!!!!!!

Hi Miss Who Hore.....dont confuse wanting to see you vs going to china again. You guys are great. China is not so great..... Im sure this time we will have more fun cause we are around fun people. The Olympics was not muh fun for me. Have not seen anything in Beijing touristy so am looking forward to that. I just dont suffer fools easily and china possesses the greatest quantity of them
