It was an early start this morning. I had a pick up at 7am. I broke my golden rule and decided to take an organised tour. It was a half day trip to Damneon Saduak Floating Market (300). We got to the long boat which would take us to the market about 9am. Then it was 30 minutes in a motorised long boat to the central pier. Then ...

... the rage since the Decade of Ugly '90s inexplicably spilled into the '00s, but it's become a shameful, de facto "instant American-identifier" in foreign countries. Can we work to change this? Arrggh. Anyhow, we've survived the Floating Market with a meal of some excellent seafood tom yum and plantain bananas, some ice-cold Singhas and no superfluous trinkets, and are back on our way. Suffice it to say that if you pull up to a ...

... comprendre l'etrange manege. Nous etions quand meme heureux de notre visite, de cogner les autres barques, de parler au touriste, etc. Nous avons deguster un fruit inconnu de nous. Entre la poire et la pomme, notre seule achat . C'etait interessant comme gout. En passant nous sommes toujours 1 semaine en avance sur les festivals. Chance ou malchance. On a au moin toujours une chambre et moins de monde. Bisouxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx France et Rejean.

... university, so turned round and started looking for flowers. It took me about half an hour to finally manage to find it. The problem was that people over there did not speak english and my concise Thai dictionary did not include the word flower. The welcome was very friendly. I had a lunch with three teachers I had got to know during my internship times, including my project manager. They did not change much. Neither the village, apart ...

... they weren't peeled....). For anyone coming to Bangkok and wanting a little get-away, I highly recommend a weekend stay at Amphawa. It's just lovely and relaxing, and the people very friendly. And very untouristy, in the western sense. Just don't forget your Thai phrasebook! I recommend the Thanicha Boutique Resort along the canal - very clean, very friendly and helpful staff - for about 800 baht a night or NZ$32. There is a website if you want to have a look ...

... spoke English, there was no bus station (we'd been told it was so easy to get a bus), and then we were told the bus was broken! It was getting late and we were walking round for some time getting nowhere. We'd been quoted a price for a taxi but was quite expensive as our 2 hour train journey was 80p and he wanted almost 10 pound for a half hour drive - managed to haggle him down to 6 though. We finally ...

... from Bangpae intersection on Petkasem road. The park was originated with the aim to conserve Thai traditions, cultures, and arts along with the shady natural park . The Park is divided into six zones covering area more than 42-rai. The fist zone is housed to the Hall of Fame building which exhibits well-know important persons both Thai and foreign for example, M.L. Pin Malakul, H.E. Professor Dr. Sanya Dhammasak, President Ho Chi Minh, and Mother Terasa. Just a few steps from the Hall ...

... goers from various hotels/hostels. We then got on a highway and drove about 1.5 hours to get to this Floating Market place. Upon our arrival we were ushered onto this long-tail boat that took us to main market platform. There we had the option of paying 150 BAHT for a smaller boat to take us down some of the smaller channels to shop. I bought my ticket, but must say I was disappointed by the lack of 'bang for my buck'. The guy just paddled around ...

... We woke up and drive to the floating market. It was so busy, but it was amazing to see the boats going around the canals. After some walking around and some noodles, we went back to the house. I washed M&#8217;s little car and checked the air filter. She showed me around the house and the yard. We left and stopped at a restaurant along the road ...
