Ok from the story from the beginning is, we went out of our hotel to find a tuk tuk and I knew we weren't meant to get someone that was standing right outside the hotel, (they're normally looking for naive people to con) but we did this anyway. On the way to Wat Pho he firstly makes us go into a cloth shop. Clearly we were not going to buy anything so it was kind of scary being in there in fact I kinda thought they were going to rob us or something, lol. Anyway thats just one example of how they all work together to try and get money so if you're going, beware of this.
Then the tuk tuk driver dropped us off specifically at a boat trip to get to Wat Pho. Once we were here and he had left we basically had no other option but to get this boat and I'm telling you, this trip was not cheap. After trying to get a lower price and kind of failing we just decided to get on the boat and go on this trip despite not really having enough money for it....oh well.
Once we were on the boat it was actually a really good trip. We got to see how people lived along the Chao Phraya river which is honestly crazy to see. There were kids playing in the river and waved at us as we passed by. At first I felt sad that they were not as fortunate at us but then saw how happy they were, and thats all that really matters.
Once we got to the temples we only had the option of going to Wat Pho as the others were shut by the time we got there- we overslept. This temple is so amazing- I mean, just look at the pictures!!!!
After we had a look around the rest of the temple we decided to head back but this time on the cheap boat, lol.
Today showed me how important happiness really is and you don't have to have the best things in life to be happy :))))))
Goodnight xo
