Woke at 6:15 this morning to go to the Floating Market, which was absolutely amazing! Located 75km outside of Bangkok it was a bit of a trek but well worth it. You can see from the photos, it's basically Asia meets Venice. We took a paddle boat down the river and would come abreast 'shops on boats'... the favourite saleable items of which incl: spices, coconut drinks, hats, pornographic ornaments and ceramic plates. There was an optional afternoon visit to a nearby tiger sanctuary where you could get up and close to the wild cats. The girls thought the activity unethical since the tigers were kept under severe sedation in order to allow tourists to pet them. I tended to agree with them. Cool experience, enjoy the pics...
