Floating Markets

---

The day started out early today. Well actually, it never ended from last night. After hitting up a couple bars\clubs in Patapong, we didn't get home till about 5:30am. Since we were up and about, we decided to catch the sunrise on top of the "golden mount" which is a wat perched on top of a man-made hill. Unfortunately, the temple was closed and the walls were too high for us to scale.

We decided to hit the floating markets in Bangkok. After talking to the driver, he said he would take us out of town to a different floating market which is more "original". So off we went to Nonthaburi (I think) and spent a couple of hours crusing down many canals sampling on various local delicacies.

On the way back, we stopped at a large wat whose name escapes me right now. I believe it was in the town of Nathom Phatom (excuse my spelling).

Got home around 11am after the trip and slept till about 7ish. We got ringside seats for Muay Thai boxing at Lupinee stadium. Dinner was in an outdoor night market by the stadium.
