This morning we ride bicycles through the old suburbs of Bangkok. Expect to get soaked as we foreigners (Falang) get targeted by locals enjoying the festivities. We ride through typical Thai neighborhoods, along canals and narrow alleyways. We visit local markets, traditional houses built on stilts and ride on a canal boat. We also get to sample some local cuisine at a local restaurant. After we arrive back at the hotel you can either relax by the pool or head back to Khao San road for more of the festivities.

Today we make out by local ferry along the Chao Praya River to Sathorn pier before making our way to the Sky Train for our journey to the Silom area of Bangkok where we repeat the water fight ritual at another of Bangkok’s most chaotic street parties. Early in the afternoon we escape the streets for visit to Lumphini Park to dry off and to search of the cities giant water monitors.

Bangkok

Tag 5-6
This morning we wake early to visit the Royal Palaces of Bangkok which we have passed so many times in the previous days. We follow this with a visit to Bangkok’s Mae Klong train market. What makes this market so special is that all the market stalls operate along a narrow train track. Each time a train passes, it blows its horn in warning and within seconds the stall holders pack away their goods. As soon as the train passes within seconds everything is back to normal as if nothing even happened. It is a sight to behold. Tonight, we have dinner at Bangkok’s riverside Asiatique complex before watching the Calypso Ladyboy cabaret show.
