Currently listening to : Touch Your Hand by David Archuleta ( love his songs )

Date : 16/11/08

Woke up at 7.30am on that morning. As usual, had our breakfast provided by the hotel. That day, our first visit was the wat arun, or commonly known as the temple of dawn.

This wat is famous for its open for climbing steep stairs that lead you up to the second level of the building. However, the top doesn't seems to be accessible through the stairs outside. We climbed except my mum. Observed how people climbed, grasping the railing tightly and step by step to first level. While the stairs to the second level seems to be much steeper and bigger gap between the landings. Feeling satisfied as we made it to the top and terrified as we look down how steep the stairs were.

Wat Arun.

Porcelains on the floor.

Stairs.

They guard the Wat.

Saw this dog while we walked out.

Chao Phraya river bank burst resulting in water rushing into the flower market.

In the noon, we made our move to Samutprakan crocodile farm which also known as the largest crocodile farm in the world. It was said that 60,000 crocodiles were kept here but what i see there weren't 60,000 crocs, but all sort of animals ranges from snakes to monkeys and birds. And the admission fees weren't cheap as it costs 300baht a person. Watched a crocodile show where the performers placed their hands and head into the crocodile's long mouth.

The croc.

The monkey. I don't know what species this earthling is. XD

The parrot.

Headed to Ancient City after that. It is where you can see all the models of all famous wat, ruins and the palace. It is a huge park where you can find many replicas of famous landmarks in thailand.

The replica of this looks really beautiful.

Managed to squeeze some time in chatucak weekend market in the evening. The market is only open on weekend and it is the biggest market i'd ever been. From clothings, foods, souvenirs to pets and exotic foods. All sort of stuff you can find in this place.

Various type of pets. Wonder if they provide plastic bad to carry home. ==

Then back to the hotel by MRT.
