There’s much more to Bangkok than high-rises, traffic and crowded tourist sights. And if you set aside time for a day trip or overnight excursion to one of the wonderful nearby attractions you will certainly leave with a much more rewarding impression.

We were Sitting inside the hotel when it started poring heavily we Woke up late but started the day right with breakfast.As soon as it stopped We took the water taxi and decided do a little shopping about when it started to downpour again. We went into a cafe and ordered some drinks and food, surprisingly it was one of the best meals I had here. Out side the street flooded, and when it finally stopped everyone was smiling and laughing. We finished our food and so we asked for the bill and right when we handed the waiter our money, you will never guess what happened. Yup you guessed it started pouring again.

However, next day was fortunately a lovely day and my friend agreed to accompany me to the crocodile park. Its far so we decided to take a taxi to the park.

The park has variety of crocs.They have special trainers handling crocodile and they play, lift the croc, infact at the end, the trainer puts his hand and head in the jaw of crocs.

Over all it was fun and I also tried Crocodile soup and flesh out there, really good.

The visit to the Snake Park was also very interesting. The farm has a good collection of poisonous snakes. The farm is basically creating anti-snake serums and the posinous snakes are used for their venoms.

The floating market is a favourite morning trip among tourists. Its interesting to see how longtail boats guide tourist shoppers among all the wares.

Apart from that, i also made some friends, like Jane and Treesa. They helped me a lot to understand the food and culture of Bangkok very well.
