Went to the Royal Barge Museum, Chinatown and the Temple of the Golden Buddha today. Royal Barge Museum was fun to get to, I came across 2 other groups of tourists trying to find their way there, in the end we figured out how to get there, but they don't exactly make it easy for you. You have to go down through this alley way where there you're literally walking by the front doors of people's houses through this narrow alley way that does not look like it has anything at the end of it. You can of course get to museum by the river as well, but none of the public boats stop there. The barges are used for special ceremonies and are used to transport the king down the river.
Chinatown was an experience, between vast numbers of stalls on the footpath selling any manner of things, to the sites and smells of food being cooked on the side of the road, and in the restaurants. I had a tastey dim sum lunch in a restaurant I came across and then went off in search of the Temple of the Golden Buddah which is in Chinatown.
Am starting to feel a little travel weary at this stage, only being in each place for a couple of days before moving on to the next place is a bit of a pain (poor me, I can hear you say as you're reading this!). Am looking forward to my 2 weeks in Ko Samui where I wont be moving around too much.
