Thailand - Day 7

"Tuk Tuk!" (Liam's favorite word this week)
This morning we jumped in a taxi & headed for the dock.
Of course by the time we got on our Longtail boat Liam had fallen asleep.Soon enough he woke up to enjoy the historic river that connects Bangkok to the sea, the Chao Phraya.We had the boat all to ourselves.The driver took us through the canals.And into the floating market.We even saw the Royal Barge Museum.Lookout Carmen! You're in the line of fire!It's been a while since these canons were fired (if at all). These ships were used to transport Thai Royalty accross the river.
Our tour concluded accross from the Grand Palace and Wat Pho......at Wat Arun.
We saw a lot of "Wat's"! (Temples)
Despite the trecherously steep steps, we did manage to get Liam up and down safely.
