Thailand blog - Day 3

by Nathan Aripez

Our third day in Thailand started by taking a visit to the Maeklong market, what makes this market so famous is that a train runs through the middle of the market every few hours. The train actually passed through while we were there and it was an interesting site to see everyone selling goods casually get up and move their everything out of the way so that the train can pass.

After the Maeklong market we took a trip to a floating market. It was definitely interesting cruising through a river and shopping at the same time. What was more amazing was the people steering the boats, elderly ladies pushed many of these boats with ease. After about an hour on the river we then set way to Pattaya to visit the Fairtex gym.
