the chao phraya dinner cruise

yesterday morning was the Bangkok jj weekend market on the program. I found some fried insects and maggots ready to eat…but I didn’t try. after such a long period of “window shopping” it was necessary to relax in the greenish park close by.
the way down to the golden mountain was quite hard and I twice thought the taxi driver want to rob me. both didn’t speak English well and when I tried to confirm the destination I just heard a dirty laugh coming from the driver.
anyways I didn’t find the golden mountain but another park just above the grand palace. the park was good for another short rest.
I ended up in the khao San road, well known for the back packer hotels and bars before I entered the Bangkok club scene. Bobby was last nights companion.

a taxi brought me directly to the golden mountain this morning. they have actually nice drums and bells up there!
I visited the large swing on the way to the grand palace.the way was not worth it a the palace was closed by the time I reached.
some more window shopping at the mbk, mall of Bangkok. I found out that my camera is actually cheaper in Thailand than in India.

tonight is the dinner cruise mentioned in the headline. they offer a great international buffet and nice views of Bangkok from the river.
I might have a Thai massage just after the cruise.
