This was a surprised location, as understood from the tour guide, the itinenary had been changed since beginning of Dec and the Singapore agent was not aware too... Nevertheless, we were glad for the changed!! As we saw this location shot on TV sometime back and thought it would be interesting to come over and have a see and indeed, here we were!!!
This is a train station in a midst of a morning market!!!...
Many tourists were here to have a look of the umbrella market, as the stall owners would move their umbrellas back once the train arrived and immediately put back their umbrella once the train passed by!!! Hahaha...
All cameras ready... Train approaching...
Keeping their umbrellas for the train arrival...
Train reached it's destination!!!
Our next destination was also a surprised one.... Bangkok's first floating market!!!
The river was really narrow and too many boats bringing in all the tourists for a feel of their floating market...
Both sides of the banks are full of stalls selling sourvenirs and other boats selling food rowing or staying put waiting for customers...
Our authentic Thai lunch... Tom Yum soup and other dishes... but my kids did not enjoy it... :p
Outside our lunch eatery...
A room showing tourists that their pig is feeding the baby cubs...
Live Tiger show... but the tigers do look skinny...
Inside the Tiger Zoo, crocodile show... scary... especially when the performers were putting their heads into the crocodiles mouth!!!
They had many Tiger statues inside the zoo.... no real tigers for pictures, but fake ones... LOL...
Our dinner restaurant....
This is the first time the kids were exposed to Ah Gua show!! They were amazed at how beautiful all the lady-men were.... But we had to pay them for a photo to be taken!!! The 2 young ladies kept going around them for a photo taking, till the parents shouted stop! hahahaha... It's really amazing how pretty they were and the show was much better than a decade back... it was really entertaining and kids had an awesome time watching the performance!! But I guess it's an eye opener for them and it's a kind of 'been there done that' mentality!! :)
