Snorkel on "The Beach"

Just a day later and we took on very rough seas. The speedboat took 30 minutes longer than usual to get us to what must be one of God's most beautiful creations. Due to the rough seas we couldn't enter the Lagoon where they made the movie THE BEACH but even where we swam was absolutely fantastic.





Then of course we both snorkeled for the first time in our lives. If you haven't done it before... DO IT!!!!!

Next thing on the list of many, was to go elephant trekking, ox cart riding, watching the process of rubber being produced and sitting down for a baby elephant show. By the looks of it, my mom doesn't like sitting on an elephant. What do you think? I am there too. Yes, the elephant is the one at the bottom of the picture.


BANGKOK

A modern day Sodom and Gomorrah was just the thing we needed to end our trip. Well ready for some more shopping, negotiating and sightseeing, Bangkok is the city with a lot of temples and no good hearted people to be found. Maybe we were just not looking at the right places. Here we are riding the famous TUK-TUK's motorcycle taxi's to get around town.



The city is dirty, our accomodation was poor, even the general service we got everywhere was just terrible!!! BUT when it comes down to getting bargains at the wide variety of markets, this is where you want to be.

Here we are looking for yet another product that can be used for the wedding...
