5/11: North BKK-Nonthanaburi

Route with pics
Picasa Album

Today we took the Chao Praya Khan ferry to the most north station, Nonthanaburi.
A solid 45min boat trip through Bkk up north. It should have been a bit more relaxed & not so busy there...however it seemed there was a longboat rowing event today...not the hoped "peace" we tried to find, but all-in-all nice to see.

Walked around a local market. You can find everything here...even things we do not know what they are...check out the webalbum for pictures.

Thai event style is basically an MTV clip which has been over-dramatized ;-)
From what we understood it was a traditional? rowing event with large teams (100 rowers?) accompagnied with really loud comentary that could be heard throughout the city (5km away?), fire works (=tnt), shortshort-biking dancers in a tower grabbing the pole with R&B & madonna music...mmmm, special. That's for sure.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dB8AGnXZHDQ

  1. Ondanks overkill bKK toch leuke plaatjes.
    Voordeel BKK is dat je nog foto's kan plaatsen. Is leuk voor de thuisblijvers. Maakt afstand minder.
