What i found pretty amusing was that for some reason, people in Bangkok can tell that i'm not Thai, and as a result tried to make me pay all the tourist prices - which at times is like 5 times the 'thai' price. But after a bit of reasoning and showing of my thai drivers licence etc to prove that i wasn't just here as tourist, we finally got away with paying the thai price, but had to put a good fight.
So we got to check out Ampawaa, a floating market town known for all the fireflies, went to a wax museum where i tried to pretend to be a wax statue to catch other visitors out (pretty funny), went to a crocodile/elephant zoo, went to another riverside market, went to Nakon Pathom and visited the royal grounds there and ate at the markets, went to church and got to meet heaps of cool people there. Their church was held in an old cinema, so made for an interesting atmosphere :)
Anyway, here are a few quick snaps of the holiday.
