Around the world #21a
THAILAND , Bangkok
5 Day 5 Night | Emphawa Floating Market | Day 3
Today is a sunny, lovely day to enjoy our trip (: Nice sky with your love everything seems good.
Upon reaching we purchase out our tickets at a booth and walk around the area while waiting for the ferry. One stretch seems long enough to experience the place unless you have enough time and energy to walk on both side of the river.
I guess it was a peak period during the time as the ferry was fully loaded with locals. Going around temple to pray for health and luck.

The waiting area we were at, 1 boat takes about 12 pax if i am right. You can hire a boat just for yourself if you do not want to share with others.
We tried some of the local delicacies while waiting, is suppose to be fish cake wrap with egg and crab meat and ice milk tea (:
Here we go...
The boatman tried to be a tour guide for us but he can't really speak English hence we didn't really understand. Though you can observe and learn how they give their offerings from the local.
There's a limited time for each location hence listen to the the time you have as you might miss the boat if you can't make it back on time.
In one of the temple a monk give us blessing with this bracelet and a amulet for a safe journey
Time to chill in the hot weather

The last temple was the most fascinating temple that i have ever went to. It was like a farm with all the animals for tourist to feed and take photo.
The temple is actually further back in the island. You have to pass by the farm and find this army like camp as shown.
Walk along this route
Cross the road
Here you go, temple within a huge tree
you can get this gold paper to stick on the buddha
And back to land after this long journey. It was quite an experience hence i will recommend you to spend one day to tour this river market and train market so that you don't need to rush for time.
Back on land (:
End of the floating market :D
Love,
Yin Zhen <3
