Wow.. I have no idea to even begin my three days.
We left bangkok on a shuttle bus and drove to the Salt fields.
In Thailand, They seperate the ocean watter in these 'patties'
and let the water evaporate and what is left is salt.
Mar lost her balance and ended up getting one of her foot stuck in the thick clay like mud. haha
I laughed so hard. It took about 15 minutes for it to come off.
We went to the floating market and it was absolutley amazing. This is their ancient tradition of selling goods on the river with long tail boats. The colors are overwhelming. We bought some mango and the flavour is fantastic! We were able to rent a boat and float right along the markets.
We drove for another hour till we arrived at our hotel for the night-- a floating cabin!
The Hotel is owned by island monks and a few locals. The rooms are right on the River Kwai away from the city noise. It was so hot that day--- mar and i were dripping sweat. We took a trek up to the monk village on the island and baught a few CHEAP items. for 30 baht, we got a huge pack of monk cigs. There were two elephants roaming the village and we were able to feed them and pet them. That was absolutely incredible.. just walking amungst elephants.
We did not hesitate to jump in the river as soon as we got back. Once we were in, we couldnt get enough of it. We must have stayed in the river for a couple hours before supper was ready. After supper, we were presented a dance celebrating and watched the locals dance in vibrant costumes. This is by far mar and i's favourite adventure!
