Bangkok sites

Our last stop in Bangkok was Soi Cowboy, or red light area. It was only 5 pm so nothing was happening yet, the street signs are self explanatory. Interesting that the police 'Safety Zone' was in the middle.

Back at our Ferry Station no 15, we watched other smaller taxi boats arriving. This one has the flat back section which makes boarding easier.

Next to the dock one can buy bread to feed the fish. There are hundreds of fish in the river here and no one eats them because that would bring bad luck from the Buhdist temple next to the river!

Walking back to our guesthouse we passed the Tuk Tuks waiting for a fare. Our street is very busy in the morning as the Tuk Tuks and motorbike taxi's, taking people, who arrive by ferry, into the city. Its amazing watching the ladies in their smart attire sitting side saddle on the bike taxi's. They are back again in a few minutes for the next client.




Breakfast at the Guesthouse started with Mangosteens and Red pear. Mangosteens are my favourite, sweet and juicy. They also have amazing health benefits.
After breakfast we heading out to start our journey south to Phuket.
