Bangkok Thursday

The half day tour said "floating market" but included elephant camp, snake show, wood then gem factory, all with optional extra tours and purchasing possibilities. 
Floating market is definitely a tourist-only destination, but still fascinating. All sorts of food and souvenirs were available. Even real coffee. 

 
The wood carving factory was especially amazing, with lots of possibilities for the home handyman to copy. 




A great day was topped with 'street food' 100 choice buffet dinner on the 75th floor of the posh Baiyoke Hotel. We started at 5pm and stuffed in our last yummy morsel at 8pm. Great value for an exorbitant $20 each, especially as it included access to the $10 83rd floor revolving viewing platform.
