Chao Phraya River and its beauty

15.03.06

My day started from Apple's house. We took 2 buses to meet Mac and Un at Victory Monument. Ate some pork's blood soup noodle and after that took a taxi to Sathorn Pier. Took a tourist boat and traveled along Chao Phraya.

The wind was blowing, the waves slowly cruised us along the river as we viewed magnificent buildings with rich historical backgrounds. People hopped on and off the boat and we just enjoyed the ride till the last station. And the boat turned and we went back.

Got off at the Chinatown station and had a walk around a wholesale area. Bought some soft toys and very beautiful necklaces. I spent a bomb before I boarded the boat again. :) Was kinda like the light bulb for Mac and Un who seem to be interested in each other!

Getting off Sathorn Pier we boarded at BTS Sapharn (Bridge) Taksin and got off at Sala Daeng station. Used another train service, MRT at Si Lom station to Lumphini. The MRT service uses some sort of chip (like a coin) instead of a card. Getting in you place the coin chip to a censor and hold on to the coin till you reach the station you desire. There you drop the coin to exit. Mac was blur enough to drop his coin while censoring it. :P

Mac's a joke. He's a very nice boy. Was holding all my shopping goods for me all the way. He's a year younger than pampam. Un's pam's age but she seems very matured. They gave me a furry teddy bear! Surprised!!! Will leave the teddy in the car. :)

Reached Un's house. A comfy but very compressed 3 story house that looks somewhat like a shop but isn't. Met her mom, bro and uncle. Had dinner of tom yam kung (shrimps) and Chinese sausage. Yummy!!!

Walked around Suan Lom Night Market. A very interesting but commercialised area that was once the training base for the army. Very beautiful with lots of stuff ranging from modern Thai products to current trends. There were more tourists there than Thais!

Took a tuk tuk back to Un's house, refreshed myself with a shower and later popped to bed.

Everything's so fun here and the people are so great despite uncomfy feelings of sorts occasionally when jealousy of others about others occur.

I miss home, sure I do but for now I'll just let myself enjoy Thailand. :) Bliss.
