Floating Markets

 

The "original“ floating markets are 1 hour by car outside of Bangkok. At our destination we were quite surprised about the price. 200 € for a 2 hour boat trip didn’t seem fair, so we decided to head back to the city.

In the afternoon we visited the Temples of Wat Pho. The main attraction is a golden statue of Buddha, 46 meters length and about 15 meters high.

Does he become a monk?

 

 

After approximately 250 photos of Wat Pho we looked for a way to get back to our hotel. So the Tuk-Tuk was our first choice!

In the afternoon we could finally get rid of the business outfit and jump right in the pool. It was quite a relief from 35 degree Celsius.
