More of Thailand

I’ve been taking lots of pictures. It’s just hard to blog. Many of the places I’ve been the internet is so slow. It takes forever to upload images.

The floating market. This is a very cool area outside of Bangkok. Everybody here is floating around on longtail boats selling their goods.

After the floating market we stopped by this place were the locals make these beautiful wood carvings.

They also make all this crazy furniture. How is this for a rocking chair.

After the tigers we were headed to hangout with some elephants. Along the way we came across a bunch of monkey’s.

This monkey looks a little fired up. It’s actually a mother with her baby clinging on to her stomach.

We had a blast with the elephants. They were throwing us around in the water. I have some great video of this I’ll try to post at a letter date.
