RIVER TOUR











ON OUR SECOND FULL DAY IN BANGKOK, ,MY FRIEND AND I DECIDED TO TAKE THE RIVER TOUR AROUND THE CITY. THE BOAT RIDE TAKES AROUND I HOUR TO CIRCUMNAVIGATE BANGKOK. WE WERE THE ONLY ONES ON THE BOAT BESIDE THE DRIVER. WE PASSED OFFICE BUILDINGS, TEMPLES, HOUSING PROJECTS AND OLD AREAS OF THE CITY. MANY PEOPLE WAVED TO US AS WE PASSED BY. ON OUR RIDE A LADY IN A SAMPAN PADDLED UP TO US AND OFFERED US REFRESHMENTS. WE HAD FRUIT JUICE- TASTED EXTRA GOOD! EVEN THOUGH MOST OF THE HOUSES ON THE RIVERBANK WERE LITTLE MORE THAN LARGE SHACKS- THEY HAD A SPECIAL DIGNITY AND CHARM.
WE DID NOT WANT THE RIDE TO END- IT WAS WONDERFUL!
AFTER- WE HAD LUNCH IN THE AREA ,THEN WE HEADED BACK TO OUR HOTEL. WE PUT THE AC ON HIGH- A GREAT RELIEF!

A TRAVEL TIP - IF YOU ARE SIGHTSEEING IN BANGKOK- DO IT IN THE MORNING OR EVENING. THE AFTERNOONS ARE VERY HOT MOST ALL YEAR ROUND.
