So, I was supposed to go on a tour to the floating markets away from Bangkok. Got to the meeting spot at 7:15am (I think) as requested, but they left without me!!!!!! Perhaps my watch was a bit late, or I missed their last call while doing my thing in the bathroom. Needless to say, I was quite upset. Since my train to Chiang Mai is tomorrow evening, they rescheduled me for a tour tomorrow morning. Only thing is, I thought the market only took place during the weekend...will find out tomorrow.
Thinking that I'd be on the tour, I had nothing planned for the day. Ended up walking to the Grand Palace and the Wat with the emerald (but actually jade) buddha (forgot the name already). Not thinking, I wore a tank top, which is not allowed on the premises. I had to put on my raincoat on a sunny, hot (at least 30C) morning.....
Remembering my trip to Bangkok 9 years ago with a few of my friends, I had to go and see if our favorite restaurant was still there. And it was!!!!! We must've gone to the Spice Market every single day during our stay. Anyways, I enjoyed a long lunch of coconut juice, green papaya salad, and mango with sticky rice : ) Heaven. Unfortunately, I went over my daily budget with that meal, so will have to cut down on dinner.
I will start posting pics once I have access to a PC with an SD card slot.

Hey, the floating market sucks! You didn't miss much. I can't believe you are in Thailand during the hottest month. My Thai in-laws are saying they were so hot there that they are going crazy....
Yes, I realized that the floating market is overrated once I got there. Oh well...

Remember how it was so hard to find Thai iced tea in Bangkok?! But in Chiang Mai, it's so easy. I found out that "iced tea with milk" is exactly that. Yummy yo.
Smeags...what did you want to write?!?!?! I think there may be some normal people reading the blog, so please be careful of what you say!!!
