Thailand - Day 3

On Day 3, we took a tour of the floating market, the Bridge over the River Kwai, the tiger temple, and the elephant sanctuary.
The first place we went was the floating market.
This is our boat. We had a driver that took us along a canal where lots of shops were positioned on the sides of the canal. Most people there were tourists other than the people selling the goods and the boat driver.

Next, we went to the Kanchanburi War Graves where lots of British WWII soldiers were buried. The next place we went was the Bridge over the River Kwai. It was really hot, so we didn't stay here too long. We walked over the bridge though.
After this, we went to lunch. There are really good slushies in Thailand. I've really missed slushie drinks. The next place we went was the tiger temple. Here you were allowed to take pictures with the tigers. Also, there were deer, a bear, water buffalo, and boars here. It was really cute cause you could take pictures with baby tigers too.
If you payed extra money, you were able to play with the tigers in water, but it looked really dangerous so we didn't do it.

After this, we went to the elephant sanctuary. This was our driver. He said he had been doing it since he was 16.


That night, we went to the Siam Paragon shopping center and ate Mexican food. Then that night we headed to Patpong to walk through a big market. They were selling lots of knock-off goods.
