Getting out of Bangkok involved a 6 lane motorway and lots of
traffic but then we managed to get onto the backstreets where the road,
almost obscured by market stalls, ran along the railway with no barrier
to wandering pedestrians.
Amy jostles for position while awaiting the lights.When they turn green its every man (or woman ) for themselves. |
After a long busy day we arrived in Amphawa at gone 5pm to
find it was where everyone else from Bangkok had come for the weekend.
All the guesthouses were therefore full and very pricy. In the end we
found a little room with a nice couple who had turned there house into a
homestay for the weekend.
We got cleaned up and headed to
Amphawa's main weekend attraction; the floating food market. Everyone
from the local area brings there wears in boats to cook and sell to the
tourists. It was packed and we spent several happy hours wandering
around eating random stuff.
