Bkk Day 5 - Elephant village, Crocodile show, Trekking, Big tiger, Thai cuisine, Central

After breakfast, we set off to elephant village. It's even earlier this time round. We took Boonchu's friend cab. ~Boonchu, where are you?~

His friend weren't that bad, but he did have his flaws. As you read on, you will understand why.

He is in-charge of tour packages, and he held manager post written in his namecard. I personally believe that by bringing tourist to a certain location will help him earn commission from it. He kept introducing us to the floating market.

I doubt i ever dare to go boating when a flood just happened not long ago. He just can't let us rest in peace until we rejected for times.


This driver is Boonchu's friend. You have got no idea what so scary about him.

Happenings:
He drove without using both hands and he kept
looking at his right. There were times, he just let go of his sterling wheel.
It's so scary.


We reached Elephant Village after 1 hour. BC's friend guide us into buying the tickets. Well, the tickets were very expensive. It cost 500 baht per pax, prolly around SGD 25. It's my first time there, i seriously don't mind the price, so we just went along.

Happenings:
One of the staff tried to flirt
with Yan. He tried to mesmerize Yan with his eyes thinking that he is sexy.
*Eews* He even ask Yan for his age.



We just ignore him and went in. BC friend join in as well. I guess he got the privillege for free entry.



BC's friend even paid for the banana that we were feeding. On another point, he wasn't that bad either. Seems like i'm being bribed easily =x oops.


Yan seems to be frightened of the elephant.




Happenings:
We were thrill and happy when the person told us
that we could sit on the elephant's leg. It's so fun as you never know when
you'll gonna be kicked. The elephant was a little hairy but
friendly.

Happenings:
The
staff request for tips(ard 20 baht - SGD0.80). It wasn't a big amount, so we
just gave. It was then he said i could give it to the elephant. It's so fun. The
elephant actually hold the money with it's trunk.

We went for the elephant trekking.

We were shock to know that elephant trekking cost another 500 baht not inc in the entrance ticket. Since it's jungle trekking, we went along. But Zy face was very reluctant. True la, it's SGD25 but i never tried elephant trekking before. It did interest me.
Before we sit on it.
Climbing up
Yup, we got on le.


Happenings:
The elephant stop halfway. We were told
that the elephant wanted to shit (poo...poo...) OMG, it shit when we are sitting
on top of him. It's definitely a wrong timing. Anyway, the elephant shit was
rather bulky adn watery. The total amount of his faeces should be equivalent to
my 1 month faeces. It was quite a large amount. *Eeews*



The trainer was quite friendly. He even pluck some flowers for us
It's my first try trekking below waterfall.


With our flowers
Zy keep disturbing the monkey
Happenings:
The monkey was sexually aroused in the
end. He kept rubbing his XXXX. It's grossed. Shall stop this topic.


We went to see Crocodile.

Happenings:
We use tap water to splash the crocodile. It was so fun to disturb the crocodile. We felt happy and thrill when the crocodile jerk even alittle after being splashed.

Seems like BC's friend enjoy more than us. He even bought his own food to feed the crocodile. The crocodile all swam toward him in the end.
We then purchased our photos at the counter.

Happenings:
We went to watch the crocodile show.
I've never watched a crocodile show before. They even placed their hands
and head in crocodile mouth.

The crocodile were all running away from the stage. The trainer just pulled them back.
See!!! He put his hand in the crocodile's mouth.

He took out his hand before the crocodile snap.



This is the worst ever magic show that i've watched. I almost fell asleep.
Even elephant knows how to pose.
About their history
Elephant playing soccer.
Elephant playing hula hoop. Elephant plsying drum.

It's a real explosion. The fire is real.
After everything end, we went to take photo with TIGER.

Happenings:
You must be thinking that it's just the same old baby cub
at the Dreamworld. I shall prove you wrong(see pic below).
It's a super big tiger this time. Look at the tiger size and our size.
It's so frightening. The tiger kept growling non-stop.



We were cabbing back when the driver suggested something.

Happenings:
He brought us to the gem factory. Oh
well, it's my second time there. Driver usually bring their tourist there to get
free coupons and diesel. We did reject him for times, but he kept begging us. We
still give in. It's not about helping him or not, is about wasting our time.
Boonchu never treat us that way as he did.

We went to the gem factory, we were given free drinks. The staff just went on and on introducing stuffs. We just ignored them.

On reaching out hotel, we rest for a while before setting off to central world.

Happenings:
The taxi driver suggest 30 baht when the
distance usually cost 100 baht. The officer was shocked to hear 30 baht. He even
"ah..." But i quote a price of 80 baht so that he doesn't make a lost in it.



We went to search for restaurant which serves Thai Cuisine and we found one finally.

Happenings:
There weren't too
many waiter squeezing at a corner. But after our arrival, they tend to squeeze
together. They kept watching towards Yan and my direction. They seems hyper when
we asked for them.



We ordered pineapple rice, tomyam soup, jerky pork, soft shell crab and vegetable(their local)
We ordered dessert. They reccomended mango sticky rice and salim. I thought of not ordering mango sticky rice as it's quite expensive around SGD10. But since Zy insist, we just went along.

As for the salim, the waiter explained that it was some kind of mee. But after tasting it, i wanna puke. It's really not edible.

We went Roxy.


I wanted to buy a jeans for my bf at Topshop, but he already got the same design and colour. The rest really can't make it. So i gave up the thoughts of buying.

Happenings:
As for Yan, she like
the bottom desperately. She fork out all her single cents and was being left
with an empty shell. She even jokingly thought of embezzlement. You will know
how desperate she is from the picture below. We even camp in the fitting room
digging for money.


We went opp Siam Paragon to try Dunkin Donuts.
I rate it normal only. I guess it's famous for the variety of flavor. But it taste normal only.

Happenings:

Jeanne: 50 baht can
Driver: *Shrug*
Jeanne: 50 baht can?
Driver: Bu zhi dao
(He did not drove off either, so we board his cab)

Jeanne:
50 baht right? I don't care, i only give 50 baht(in
chinese)



He just went along bu zhi dao and bu zhi dao.

During the journey, he asked if our parents were with us. I questioned him if he wanna kidnapped us. He laughed. But we still said that our parents were at the hotel.

Happenings:
He refused to gave us any change when
we were at the hotel. So Yan exclaimed, "I called my papa and mama if you don't
give me money." Immediately, he drew 20 baht from his pocket.

After alighting, Yan then realise
he cheated us 30 baht. But is ok. He's quite a funny driver
though.

We just went back to our hotel as usual.

Happenings:
Zy cried terribly after talking to her
dardar about overspending, so Yan and I counsel her abit.

Washed up and Zzz'''
