Saturday, It's our 5th wedding anniversary. We woke up as early as 530am since we need to prepare for our out-of-town trip. Our hotel pick up was 630am and we need to be ready by then. Our itinerary for the day includes Floating Market, Elephanant Ride, Samphram Elephant Show, Snake Farm and Rose Garden. Ticket for the guide, transportation, entrance and buffet lunch at THB 1500 per pax. Travel time approximately 2 hours going to these places.
First stop: Elephant Jungle Ride at Saphram Park: Decided not to take the ride since we opt to try the floating market instead. It's a one hour ride inside the jungle at THB600 per pax.
Second Stop : Floating Market at Damnoen Saduak -- another food trip for the husband and I. The boat ride costs THB150 per person for 1 hour. The experience was ok and the husband was able to taste more foodie here. No, we didn't dwell much on the souvenirs, it was kinda pricey comapred to the street market. But we enjoyed buying some of the treats here like mango with sticky rice (THB10), grilled chicken wings (THB10 per pc) and Thai Spring Rolls (THB20) while cruising the river.
Next stop: Cobra Show at Snake Farm -- after our floating market trip, we were asked to ride a speed boat going to the Cobra Show. Entrance to the show THB200 per person. Again, the husband the show so much. Real live venemous cobra in action. Jumping for his prey. This show, too scary for me!
Next Stop: Elephant and Crocodile Show at Samphram Park. We enjoyed the elephant show so much. Funny seeing these big animals play football and do wonder tricks. I didn't enjoy much the crocodile show. It was long and boring, and I think the crocs not in the mood for the show.LOL.
Last Stop: Rose Garden for Thai Cultural Show. I was tired of taking pictures here. It was a short presentation showcasing thai's culture, their dance, sport (muay thai) and way of life. This is more for tourist presentation. It was a nice show but I guess was too tired to appreciate it.
After the tiring day trip, we went back to Bangkok city around 430pm. It was early yet to have dinner thus we asked our guide to drop us at Chatuchak Market. Travel to BKK will not be complete without a trip here. It was our last day in Bangkok and we wanted to end our day shopping for pasalubongs.

Since it was our last night, we decided to hav dinner at the 93rd top floor of Baiyoke Sky Hotel. The tallest building in Bangkok. Picturees below from the revolving tower. 360 full view of Bangkok by night. Really amazing!
