Bangkok Wednesday

A tuktuk to the station is our first task, to book return train Bangkok-Chiang Mai, then Bangkok-Koh Samui. Yes we could fly but what's the fun in that? Upcoming Queen's bday hol means minor itinerary changes. We take a long ride on the local river ferry, eat yum street food, watch night market and wholesale flower market setup, then scuttle back to our hotel in a $2 taxi when it all gets a bit much. 


There was severe flooding 1 1/2 years ago. Some houses look well kept, others seem about to fall into the river. 

Pleated and tucked lotus flowers

 
Gotta love fresh cooked food. Watched whole lot get unloaded from truck and set up: burners, tables, food stands etc.
