No greater love....than this.

Day2 in Bangkok.

Woke up incredibly early to get ready for the canal tour we signed up at the airport.
It was really hard to pull ourselves up as we got only four hours of rest, at most.
As soon as we got down to the lobby, we were greeted by our private tour guide.
May-yo.
She’s really friendly and her actions are funny too.
Her English wasn’t really good but she made an effort in remembering our names.
Ricky, Steven, Monica (fritzie’s msh name), Vina.
Ricky, Steven, Monica, Vina.
Ricky, Steven, Monica, Vina.
And a while later, it evolved to…
Ricky, Steven, Monaco, Sophia…
Hahahs.
Monaco is a really cool name for fritzie I think. =p hehs.
The private van was cool =)
A super big van with just the four of us.
I felt so like a VIP.
And so, May-yo briefed us on Bangkok and the tour that we were about to have.
Her simple English was still understandable most of the times.
But at times, she was like "PHEW~~I don’t even get myself, how can you?" hahs

She treated us really well because she said we reminded her of her sibilings.
So, she tried her best to take care of us like little kids.
"You guys are very nice people" "I am very happy today!"
She said.
She is so alive and so excited being with us.
I just love the feeling of making someone happy and so welcomed!
It's really nice and heart warming =)

On the ferry, May-yo climbed onto the boat in a flash to get seats for us while we were slowly trying to balance ourselves as we get onto it.

I'm on WATER!!

Basically the whole tour is just showing us the life of the people staying by the river and the many thai temples and buildings.

Halfway through the tour, we stopped over at this snake farm.
We couldn’t be bothered to pay and watch those eerie creatures.
Rather save the money for shopping instead ;) hahahs
Steven treated himself to this thai coconut and so we settled down to talk about our plans later.

Steven decided to pose with his coconut.

3 more days left, and so we had gotta maximize our time.
There’s just one thing to plan actually.
Shopping =D

May-yo treated us to this really superb thai ice-cream.
Was AWESOME!!
She's really nice to us.
"Ricky!!" "Please give me a SMILE".
That's something she keeps telling me when I bored. hahahs.
Not just that, it's just funny when she calls MONACO or sophia. lols!!

A photo at the end of the tour. Thanks May-yo!

After the tour, we headed off for the Catucak market.
Goodness, it was really burning hot when we arrived there.
So we hurriedly search for a shelter to have lunch first.
And we found one in the middle of the market.
Fritzie couldn't take her eyes off the waiter.
Her hormones were raging throughout her entire lunch till she gotta take down TWO BIG BOWLS of rice to compensate for the loss of energy. Ahahhas
The restaurant was really unprofessional.
They served our dishes but didn’t give us any cutleries.
Hmm…I didn’t know that thais eat with their bare hands or fingers.
And then as we were almost finishing our meal, we realized that they haven’t serve us the bread to complete our meal.
Haih…I thought that was supposed to be served like BEFORE the meal.
Well, that’s just not it.
The unforgettable part was when we asked for the bill. hahs
The first bill was a blank piece of paper, stating nothing but just the total amount.
And being young, trouble-making tourists, we asked for a detailed breakdown of the bill.
The fritzie's cute waiter stunned.
Maybe he didn’t really get what we meant.
So we somehow actioned out what we trying to say and got the message across. Ahaha.
I felt quite bad for him as he sat down not far away to list down the food that we ordered.
One by one.
And then……
The amount didn’t tally with the first bill.
OKAY, we were quite disturbed this time round.
And we called for THAT waiter AGAIN.
He himself seemed puzzled, but took the bill and did some recalculations again.
Feeling rather embarrassed to put him into such situation, fritzie and vina insisted that we should stand up for our rights.
I think so too.
And I was really curious how the guy is gonna get an excuse on that.
A while later, he came back and said that the bowls of rice cost 15batt each instead of 10batt (which we enquired earlier).
He gave us a smile and apologized.
After all the "trouble" we caused him, we thanked him for clarifying our doubts and laughed.
It’s weird. But I guess we’re just being too friendly.
Because, actually, we were stunned. Like what the hell??!? He can just increase the price of the rice just like that?
Oh well, because of the language barrier, we would rather save ourselves the energy to do more shopping after this.

Phew… so much to say in day 2!
And the highlight of the day was what happened later.
Goodness. Gonna leave that big chunk for the next post.
Turning in soon.
Good nites ricky =)
Love ya! =D

XOXO.
