Raft houses, waterfalls and 3 bottles of Thai rum…

Well when I last left you I was waiting for the end of the alcohol ban to get a beer and attempting to see the temples. I managed to achieve both the following day so hooray for me! I ended up having to walk the to the temples as I couldn’t get a tuk-tuk driver to take me for love or money – well to be honest and fair I didn’t offer them any love but given that I’m a dirty white fat farang I’m pretty sure I would have had the same success rate anyway – which was zero. The comment “no shopping” really does piss them off. To be fair, the temples were in reasonable walking distance anyway so I copped it sweet and took my life in my hands and crossed the crazy roads to the Grand Palace.
