Day 4, in the Land of Thai.






So again, we woke up real early and headed off to the floating market in Thailand. Which is really far from where we were at, like a 45 minute drive. Its like from here to.... Seremban? So we were at the floating market! A must place for everyone to go if you ever go to Thailand! Oh ya, and that's our tour guide, Mr. Jhun. Dude's totally awesome.






And after a few attempts of failed facebook profile pictures.....


We got thirsty and decided to go for some coconuts! But it was so wasted, we couldn't eat the flesh. They didn't give us a SPOON! What retards.






And not long after, we were at another part of the floating market! It was so awesome, there were sooo many people. Foreigners to be exact. Like everyone was taking pictures of everyone, and all the boats were colliding each other! It kinda reminded me of bumper cars, only on water and we had no seatbelts. :)





Then we got off at this place, also part of the floating market, a place where almost everything's made outta coconut. And the coconut sugar tasted weird, its like drinking diluted sugar solution. However, the candy we bought were fantastic! SO GOOOD! Coconut Candy. Sounds catchy, no?


And after we finished our little tour at the floating market, we took pictures at the jetty and tried to bargain for stuff at the jetty. We found out then that those people totally think we're retards and charges us like twice the price the people at the market near our hotel charges. What total retards.




Then we went to a teak wood/handicraft factory. And mehn do Thai people have skills. Those things are like super intricate and the dude can make one freaking elephant in 2 days! What?!




After that, we went to watch an elephant show! Hahaha, those elephants are super smart! Smarter than my dog, I think. They can even play football and sit leg-crossed. They're awesome. Now who says elephants are stupid?

So we were leaving on the next day, like in the morning. And my kiam siap aunties wouldn't pay for a room, since we were gonna sleep for like a short while only, we had to get to the airport by 4am. They even suggested that we overnighted at the airport. And I was like " Geez, I'd rather pay than to sleep at some airport like a homeless person. Puh-lease, where's your freaking self-esteem?!" And ya, I was pissed. So in the end all 6 of us bunked into 1 freaking room. Still pissed, btw. But then we got to the airport on time and everything was good. Thank God. Like seriously. If it wasn't for God, I think i would have died!

So, THANK YOU, GOD!
