Then continued to wonder, found a boat tour that went up and down the river so took it upstream to Chinatown. We wandered through the Sampheng market, so many soft toys! I want to come back here when we come back to Bangkok before we go home. I really enjoyed these markets as the stall holders weren't at all pushy which was nice to just wander through. By this stage we were both hot and thirsty so found a Chinese restaurant and went in and had a cold drink. Then took a tuktuk to what we hoped was the pier we had got off the boat. I thought it should have been pretty straight forward to get back to the pier, we took off on a rather long trip down some very dicey ally ways, we were both a bit concerned we would end up somewhere we didn't want too be. However all turned out well, we stopped outside a macca's! It wasn't the pier we wanted to get to but was the next one down the river, a quick walk down to the river and we were back on the boat.
We headed back to our hotel to have a swim to cool down. Then took off to find somewhere for lunch. Found a great little spot not far from the hotel that had great food, cold beer and free wifi :) at the moment I'm posting a day after it all happens, our hotel doesn't have free wifi so I type up what's going on then the next day when we head out I'll update the world on our travels :)
