Another Weekend Market

Standard

Wow!!! That’s all I can say….But Thai people know how to make a weekend market (which is only Friday,  Saturday and sunday) look like our regular all week market in Ghana ( Makorla).

And Thai people loove to shop…LOL!!!

Today at the weekend Market…got to spend the whole day with all the kids but was able to slip away with my oldest for a girly moment while the others play at the park. Super safe for the kids.

Pictures below….

The park was really awesome…its the closest we have gotten to this wild creatures…They told us to stay in our cars and lock the doors and all windows up. Our taxi we took there drove us through the park which is filled with wild animals and they come close to our car. The whole day our Taxi guy was kind of like a tour guide…and we paid total going and coming back home…the whole trip and park stuff was about 7 hours and taxi driver with us the whole day cost us $50…Super duper cheap. Lovely place for the kids and parents too.

Great place to Visit…took us about 40min to get there. We took a taxi so we did not use the travel agenct…Save about $130 for going by ourselves. So when you are in Bangkok just roll on your own…its fun and you are on your own time.

Visit to Grand Palace and the Ryclining Budha

Standard

So for our large family sometimes using the Tour agency is not to our benefit. So I did a little research to see how our family can go to the Grand Palace Temple and the reclining Buddha for the Fraction of price this tour agents are trying to charge us.

Well the tour agency will pick us up from our apartment and our total trip to Grand Palace and the reclining Buddha will be $400 for all 6 of us.

Now let me tell you what it cost us…..We took a meter taxi, got there and hired a tour guide by the gate, did the grand palace, did a 1 hour canal boat ride ( which is not part of the tour company program), did the reclining Buddha and took a taxi back to MBK mall…and all cost us $165…now tell me that’s not an awesome savings there…and all it took was a little internet research.

It was all worth it and now I think most of our tours will be self done…

some great pictures below
