Khlong boat adventure

We are ready for an adventure! (Tammy, Yvonne, and me)
Asok Thursday morning market!!

We ate at this Thai food market and everything was in Thai!
We just pointed to what we want!


Tammy's boat noodle soup... or something

my chicken (maybe) with basil

Yvonne got some veggies I think they are in oyster sauce maybe??

 Yvonne got a drink with carrots, 


I am not sure what this sign says... but I think Rufus needs a friend!!!!! 

Here is the Thursday market!!  I have heard so much about it and I am finally going!!!!

The market is on a college campus (the name is so long I can't remember it!!)!

We walk through the campus to catch a Khlong boat!  Khlong=canal
So we luckily hopped on (they barely stop)
~no clue how much it costs or where we are going!

These people are ready to get off the boat...

The blue tarps keep the water from splashing on us!
We are the only non Thais on the boat.





The water is super stinky!  Kinda like a dirty aquarium...

Yvonne, me and Tammy


These are the workers that take the money from the people getting on the boat.



So we ended up hopping of at.... THE MALL!!
We found this chart that shows all the Khlong stops and the cost!

the costs in Thai




On the way back we sit right behind the driver!!


They quickly tie on and then release!




And we made it back!!  Woohoo!  And off goes our boat again!!


It's about 3 and the Thursday markets are shutting down...

We are hot, sweaty, and perhaps stinky! 
So off we go in search of a celebratory beer and some fruit!!



I love these stands!

  1. Another fun day! I bet that fruit was very refreshing after the stinky boat ride. Funny! Rufus does not need a friend, he has one....I hear he has a turtle for a friend now. That's funny too. You will see your mom and dad next week! You must be excited. Cathy is overjoyed and cannot wait to get there. I will miss her for two whole weeks! Hope you all have a wonderful visit and a fun time.
