Erawan National Park

Spent the day hiking, swimming in waterfalls, getting free pedicures from fish and looking for monkeys.

Maeklong

There are a number of floating markets within 100km of Bangkok as well as a really neat market that a train goes directly through called MaeKlong. We were told you couldn't do them both in one day and had to do a tour package. Obviously we did them both in one day on our own through the public bus system. Below is the Maeklong market. Notice the tracks in the pictures.

 

This happens six times a day.

Under Budget

Thailand is the most expensive country of our travels but we finally had a day under budget yesterday! We wanted to average $30 a day for living expenses and here is a break down of our first day under budget.

 

$30 equals 900 Thai Baht

165 baht or $5.50 for a late morning breakfast. Two coffees banana pancakes and French toast

26 baht or about .90 cents for a two liter bottle of water each.

100 baht or around $3.30 for two bicycles for the day. Saw the Bridge over River Kwai and an underground Temple

120 baht or $4 for two large all fruit shakes for lunch

76 baht or $2.50 for dinner. Pad Thai and stick meats at the local night market

130 baht or about $4.30 for two large Leo beers

280 baht or about $9.30 for our hotel with the view below, private bathroom and shower, and hot water
