watch out...elephants on the road!!!

after our day trip to the Floating Market and Rose Garden,we asked our taxi driver to drop us at another seafood restaurant for dinner.truth be told,it was exceptionally earlier for dinner.at that time it was only almost 4 pm.due to a very bad jam,we got there just around 6.since all our stomachs were making noises,early also nevermind.

anyway,while we were stuck in the jam,we saw another huge monitor lizard trying to squeeze itself into the fence surrounding the palace.it was quite fasinating watching it squeezing in.me and my brothers was cheering "wah wah..abit more can already".in the end,the monitor lizard manage to squeeze itself through.maybe he wants to pay the king a visit and wish him a happy belated birthday:).based on what our taxi driver said,it seems there's a procession going on.that's what causing the massive jam.

this was the seafood restaurant we went to.Kuang Seafood


Thailand's famous tomyam.very yummy.


Mr Taxi Driver,Ah Chai with my jeeko.


next we walk all the way to the night market.i'm not sure whether we've seen all the things there but there's nothing much there.most of the things sold were clothings.it's very cheap though.


we even pass by these stalls selling food.
this stall caught my attention.they're selling fried grasshoppers(thats what i think it is).as you know...i'm a big chicken,so i didn't dare try it.



later on we went back to the hotel to bath and rest for awhile.we took a tuk-tuk back.the tuk-tuk guy was so ganas.the way he drives was so scary it makes you feel as though you might fall off the tuk-tuk but it was fun.while the tuk-tuk guy was zooming away,i saw two elephants(with some guys of course)on the road.
me and my parents in the tuk-tuk.


my grandma decided to go for a massage.so we left her at one of the massage shop and we go jalan-jalan.again,we went to 7 Eleven to buy some buns and water.time to eat again.my two brothers can't wait to taste another one of Thailand's delicacies,Pad Thai again(they ate it before).Pad Thai is just like char kuey teow except they add sugar in it making it sweet.


the man frying the Pad Thai.


Pad Thai.


while eating,suddenly i saw something black at the corner of mu eyes.when i look up i saw the same elephant just now on the road just behind my brother.didn't know why nobody realise it until i told my brother"ko,there's an elephant right behind you"
you should see his reaction.immediately he WHOA!!!.the guy..hmmm...i should call him the 'penjaga' then tried to ask us to buy some sugarcane for the elephant.the elephant kept bugging my mom led her to buy a packet.in the end me and my mom fed the elephant.too bad that i didn't get a picture of me feeding the elephant.my brother said i fed to fast.haihz.the cute thing was,after we finished the whole packet,he(the elephant that is) kept on tapping my mom's shoulder.my mom was so scared that he suddenly go berserk and smack her with his trunk.hahaha.finally the penjaga have to drag him away.the elephant even said thank you.well..it souns more like 2 barks or the elephant sound.i know elephants are suppose to trumpet or something like that but the way it said thank you sounds more like a bark.
the elephant bugging my mom.



back to the hotel.
