Thais doesn't hesitate to jump in the water with all their clothes the wear. Often it is a tshirt or some shorts. But in extreme occasions it mean long trousers, tshirt, underwear, jumper, socks and cap. A lot of times we saw fisherman in the rivers walking through the water clothed like that. Alternating the water was half or one and a half meter without one dry spot on their body. After the elephants we go for a sail on a bamboo raft. Before and behind there was a boatmen, the tourist in the middle. On one moment one of the boys gave the pole to one of the tourists and jumped in the water to push and to cool down.

A roundtrip full of boat trips. Above the rafts after the visit to the elephants. On the first day we sail with boat along the temples and canals of Bangkok. We go by boat to the floating market. After the biking we got a trip with a James Bond boat. After the visit to the summer palace we visited the old capital Ayuthaya by an enormous James Bond boat again. It travels very fast. When the water isn't to wide you can shoot tremendous video shots. With a normal digital camera it isn't easy to take nice pictures from the shore. Ton Frijters visited other places by boat. Both we did have a trip on the Mekong to the crossing point of the three countries Thailand, Burma and Cambodia. The river was yellow of the mud when he was there.
