2nd Day in BKK
Itinerary:
1. Floating Market
2. Reclining Buddha Temple <-- next entry! stay tuned for the update! ;p
3. & all other touristy thingys! :)

Was told that the tour will start early morning & that no shorts or/and sleeveless are allowed to the temples. So, kena pakai pakaian yang menutup aurat! ;p

Anyways, I was (again!) very excited to do all the touristy stuff...
Woke up early - only can do that whilst holidaying abroad! Mainly because hotel includes breakfast! hehehe! - and didn't mind it
Waited for the tour guide who turned up late - she met with a minor accident - but she was very nice!
Her name is Supa! :)

The floating market was about an hour journey from Lebua State Tower







The wee boats looked dubious at first but we survived! :p

First Buddha I saw since I got to BKK!



The boat ride to the floating market was quite a distant... made me wonder who would go through the trouble just to go to the market...


Whoa! Tong gas on a wobbly wee boat? *cover eyes!*


This fruit-seller aunty must have had that corner for the longest time




Quite frankly, I was a tad disappointed when I saw the floating market
I don't know what I was expecting exactly but from pictures & postcards, I thought the market was bigger!
Nonetheless, the organized chaos - especially when all the boats berlanggar-langgar - totally awed me! Fantastic! :)


As much a durian lover I am, I didn't try 'em when I was in BKK



... And I thought tong gas on a wee boat was scary!
One whole kuali-load of minyak panas on a very wobbly wee boat was O-M-G !!!
But, the goreng pisang was yummy, I tell you! :)


And on the other side of the bridge... Could that be my long lost boa python, Batik, on the guy's shoulders? Hmmmmphhh....

I was very (overly, actually!) excited about my 1st night in Bangkok! :p
It was in fact the FIRST thing I'd included into the itinerary "Part of the Bangkok experience" ! ;)
Next trip to BKK I will remember to include the Tiger Show *wink, wink*

The Master of Ceremonies was ... I dunno. I was a li'l confused. Boy or gurl?
It's a ladyboy! :) Yeay!



Enjoy the rest of the show, folks... cos I surely did! ;p












I have to admit that some of them were really pretty - front profile! But once they turn sideways, they still looked very manly.

And, this ....



... was the ugliest of 'em all! ... ;p



This segment with the traditional Thai costume... yeah, I was very intrigued by the 'beauty'






Didn't quite get this... Man in two-piece bikini??
Not even a pretty ladyboy!
With trumpets where the sun don't shine, some more! *frown*




Some of them had boobies which looked as though they were cut & paste on the wrong body! ;p



Just before the finale, they brought out all the really pretty ones!
& they were very pretty, alright!






Yet, this ugly one had to end the show! ;p

And what is Calypso if it doesn't end grandly!







No matter what, the real thing is always the most beautiful! *wink*



(this is my terrified look, being harassed by a ladyboy! -- smile! --)
