Bangkok Day 2

Day 2 is Bangkok was a million times better. 

We browsed Khao San before being advised by people outside the hotel to was on a Tuk Tuk tour of Bangkok for only 10 baht each, I mean what a deal.. Obviously we were keen to jump on board a money saver.. 

We firstly headed Wat Intrawhian, which was simply a giant gold Budda and a temple. I couldn't quite believe how openly religious the Thai people were. We all had to remove our shoes before entering and then there were people on their knees praying to a statue with incense. To be honest I didn't really understand and I really wanted to laugh. 

Way Benchamabophit was next on our tour and was just another temple, however this time Nath and I were taught how to pray and I couldn't keep the giggles in and burst out laughing, luckily the man found the funny side of this. 

Our tuk tuk guide then randomly took us to a tourist office. Don't worry, I was advised about this in my tour guide 1!: basically this is how they get the petrol for the tuk tuk if we go in for 10 mins. We didn't know this at the time and found the situation awkward and after feeling quite uncomfortable made a quick exit. The tuk tuk man clearly didn't get commission as we then when to another one, but thankfully for him but did actually book and he was given petrol. 

We then got taken to the river, where the three if us got on a board for a tour of the Klongs (river). It was really interesting seeing these huge houses right next to shanty houses. We also saw 2 crocodile sized lizards. The guide then took us to an area where you could feed fish for good luck and there we literally thousands. Hopefully this will provide us luck for the rest of the trip. 

So then last night, we headed over to the red light district of Bangkok (Pat Pong) and visited a show, let's just say those who have been will know what I mean when I say, it was eye-opening. We then went out for a few drinks and by this point it was the early hours so we headed back, however the 150baht head, shoulder and back massage was too tempting and was in fact amazing..
