Here we are sitting in Starbucks at Old Siam Plaza where we were to join the tour yesterday to Ayutthaya. This one is to the floating market and the train market. Got here in plenty of time today. Yesterday was a disaster getting to the meeting place. Our meeting place was to be Old Siam Playa…at 8:30 am.  If you have ever been to Bangkok and tried to get anywhere during the morning rush, you will know that the traffic is unbelievable obscene. The taxi driver couldn’t find how to get there, the traffic was horrendous. He couldn’t understand us and we couldn’t understand him. We ended up having to go to another meeting point cuz the bus had to leave. OMG!  He felt so bad that he refused to take payment even though it took almost 2 hours out of his time to make money. Getting to the pick up point was an experience unto itself. 

Damnoen Saduak floating market

Then to train market

I wanted to attach a couple of videos of the train coming down the track as well as the removing of merchandise off the track before it gets there but I don’t seem to be able to do it. If you want to see it you’ll have to visit me when I’m home.
