Siam Paragon








Science museum, Aquarium (Ocean world), Siam Paragon

What a strange idea I had this morning to go to the science museum which is about 20 minutes from home (probably THAT ! ) well it could has been nice but unfortunatly, most of everything was in Thaie language ! and in plus I was the only one in this museum, no one, just the cleaner ! well not have to wait for anything but still ! the good think that was in this museum is there are in the same time a little aquarium and a planetarium ...
And with baby Orson, I went to the Ocean World and that was super ! I loved it ! very attractive, big, colors, music and futurist ! nice atmosphere and huge rooms full of sharks, crabes and whatever that I have never seen before ! it tooks about one n half hours to see everything and in plus we saw sharks feeding ! (http://www.siamoceanworld.co.th/) the aquarium is inside this big shopping center Siam Paragon. It's a really new pretty center, just next to the one I went for spiderman and actually in this area (Siam Square) is full of shopping center, shops, stand food in the middle of the street ! people and there is even a wifi area ! just about 10 minutes walk from home ;) by the way, rain saison has started one week ago, that mean sun is not here anymore even if it is still very very hot and it's raining a lot ! but I pretty like it, even if sun is not here the rain when ur outside is good when it is too hot :)

World Center : Spiderman !

Tuesday night, 1 of may was the first of Spiderman, so we went to this hude mall center, with 2 cinemas on it ! then we had a v.i.p place (so cheap ! not even 5 euros for a v.i.p place with a special room where u can take all the candies,drinks u want for free ! I mean including with the price u paid ... plus still nothing ! and the cinema room and scream where so big and we had a very good place in the balcony ! as a tradition, just before the movie, all people stand up for 1 minutes watching an ad about the king ... well ... why not ! Is like that every Mondays, people are wearing a yellow tee.shirt to honor him ... funny if u don't know that and seeing all this people dressing up the same ! in the end, movie was fine but the way I watched it in this thaie huge cinema was much better !

Floating market

Satursday morning I get up about 6am to go to this market. Actualy is just so far from Bangkok, it takes about 2 hours to get there !
Then you have to take a boat which will bring you in the middle of this strange floating market ! lots of little boats around, boats with people saling fruits, foods, clothes and souvenirs things ... the only problem is that the river is very dirty (but I saw someone swimming on it and drinking the water !!! )During one hour I went all over, saw all this people saling things, tourist taking pictures (of course)
So yes it was a really funny experience but it's very touristic place ! I loved it, even if I felt a little bit sick in that boat .......
How to get there : The easiest way is taking a Chao Phraya River express boat. There are also several canal routes by long-tail boat
