About the Boats in Bangkok

Image
When we were going to the city, we went on a really fast boat in nasty dirty water, but it was fast.  If you get off they hardly even stop.  And from our apartment, we could walk to the boat stop. It was like a 10 minute walk.   There were these people that stand on a little board over the water on the boat. And 3 people that collect money, it was cool. I wish I had that job but only if it was not over really dirty nasty water.  We took this boat about 10 times. It was really fun exept the parts that we got splashed on.

The Loy Krathong Festival at the Riverfront Asiatique

Asiatique is a river front area that has resteraunts and stores. They celebrate a holiday every year. The name of the holiday is Loy Krathong. This holiday is to buy/make a lotus raft made out of nature or fish food.  You put the raft in the water with a lit candle on it. This is to forgive the water god of polluting the water. But it’s funny, your polluting the water by putting the raft in the water. It is also taking all the sadness out of you and letting it float away. They say if your candle is still lit ‘till it is out of site then you have good luck for a year.    We took a boat to Asiatique and we ate at a resteraunt called “happy fish”. We had a super fun time! My favorite part was putting the raft into the water! The End!
