Tigers(in Aisia??) ,Elephants, Boats and Rubies
Lo all,
We had a great day toda.We got up at 7 and did an arranged trip from our Hotel, it was very good.
We started off going to the floating market , outside Bangkok, it was crazy. A bit like a dirty tropical , manic venice! We got a little boat and went all round it, I recognise lots of it from loads of filims and adverts, it did look like yer typical filim set. Got lots of piccys which I will start to upload onto this site when I get my sh1t together.
After that we went to a fine craftsmans shop crossed with a cobra farm. The wood carving there was unbeliveable and you could walk around while they worked, very intresting.
Next door had a snake farm which we did not go into but they had 2 huge fekkin snakes in the window, I mean fekkin HUGE. Big yellow Pythons. I seroiusly reckon they would have you for dinner they were that big.
After that we went to a great Elephant show, the same one Stevo and Wee man were at on Wildboyz when they were in Thailand. I recognised the place form MTV, mad.
Dee fufilled a lifes ambition and got here photo taken with not one but 2 massive tigers. They were far out to see so close and she got to hold both of em by the tails, sitting with them. She's a braver man than me, i would have not gone near em (big woss me) They were beautiful and massive.
After the tiger and elephant show we saw some crocidile wrestleing which included mad Thai lads putting thier heads/arms/ hands into the mouths and down the throats of these yokes. Pretty cool to see close up. They make a hell of a snap when they shut thier mouths.
After that we were whizzed to the Thai Rose Gardens which is like a cultural show with more kick boxing, stick fighting, dancing, music and a big Thai show wedding. then more elephents which one stuck his big wet trunk in me hand, he was cute. I like elephants now :)
Very cultural indded us.
After that we went back to Bangkok via the worlds largest Gem stone factory, we had to go past a bloke with a big gun (or he was just happy to see us) and Dee could not resist picking up and nice little ring. they gave us a posh taxi van home after that to.
If anyone wants to kill a day in Bangkok I recommend this, onlt 750 Bhat and all the hotels run the trip.
We have another booked for tomorrow, Doing the Bridge over the River Kwai whcih will be a different vibe but should be good.
OK, we're knackard and going to watch a filim (cheers lads) and crash
Hope all is good back on earth
