Euro Travel & More

If you are thinking of taking a weekend trip to Bangkok this weekend – you better cancel your trip even though I know some would love to see the Golden lighting there but the authorities fear that things might turn violent during the weekend.   It looks like a civil war is about to start and I haven’t seen one of this in a long time now.   But yes it can turn ugly – and I was in one in Vietnam some 20 yrs ago – and had to be evacuated out of there by a special group – so my advice – better be safe than sorry.

The Floating Market of Bangkok Thailand is what i would described as a farmer’s market but on water. I  think it is more a novelty .. than anything else… but you can buy lots of fruits, cooked food, clothing, handbags, jewelry and even replica watches and they don’t take no for an answer.

The floating market is an hour and half drive by car .. from the city. It’s interesting to see people selling stuff from their little dingy boat..  but I would never eat it.. because of hygiene reasons.  Afterall, I don’t wanna get sick.. while on a vacation right.  But a lot of people are fascinated by this novelty… they call it the Venice in Asia.  I also remember they did charge for the entrance to get into the floating market.. but if you go with a tour group.. it should be included.
