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.

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. We then catch the SkyTrain to Chatuchak Markets for a bit of shopping. Finally we head back to our hotel and out for a final night of festivities.

Bangkok
Day 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.
