17-20 July 2009
It was an early start to our second day, having to wake up real early in the morning for our breakfast and our half day tour. International buffet, Blue Spice! See, got label one... Haa. Not to mention dining by the pool! Lovely isn't it? Too bad there's no pictures of me in swimming attire. Hahaha...
After breakfast, off we went for our river tour, accompanied by an English speaking local tour guide and our very own private transport, a limousine... (It's just a Volvo)
The ride was fairly interesting. We were brought around the river, Thailand's most famous river, Chao Phraya river, where we get to view temples and the living conditions of the people who lived in raised homes just above the river, by the river. The tour guide even joked about that we were at the Venice or even Amsterdam! =S
The actual tour actually brought us to some other places like the jewellery shops and silk shops. Guess the girl wasn't interested in all these and so we hurriedly made our way from one shop to the other. That's where they brought us to another tailor shop - James Fashion International. Guess I already had enough shirt and pants so I gave it a miss. Perhaps, next time round when we return yea.

And that's our private boat lookalike.

The ride ended off with a stopover at a reptile park which we didn't go in, before making a U-turn to the starting point. One sad thing is that we didn't get a chance to see the floating market. Well, it's still not so bad after all, for we have been to their most famous river. =)

A Pic of me stealing food... Wahaha...
And so, it was more shopping for us after the tour followed with a nice MK steamboat dinner to reward our tired legs. (Go try it for those who didn't. The sauce was extremely nice!) Yummy... =) We wrapped up the night by heading to Sum Lum night market for a stroll, before heading back to the hotel for a good night's rest.
