Bangkok 2

It's already nine days since I came back and I still haven't finished posting my photos of the trip. This is the first test of the digital camera my Mom gave me. didn't realize that I DO NOT have a steady hand as I should, my camera confirms it. The pictures, most have the red waving-hand blur warning symbol.
We woke up early on Saturday, the day of the wedding. Most of the preparations was finished, except for the decorations for the bridal car, which was for us to do 'coz the coordinator will just meet up with us at the Church.
The ceremony went well, except for some pre-ceremony no-nos that would have been avoided if we're back home but being here in, it has gone unnoticed till moments later. The catered lunch was great! I was surprised to see a sweet pasta dish in the buffet, as if it was out of place, but that too was laso delicious. Desert was the native halo-halo made up of multi-colored rice noodles with ice and sweet coconut milk. Luckily for me, only the bouquet was tossed for the ladies as I am slowly gettin' annoyed of this traditional wedding ritual. Better get hitched soon or stop attending weddings for the meantime.
It rained, midway through lunch as the monsoon seasons' also starting to creep in. The tents that covered the grounds surrounding the church gave ample protection from the rain except at the joints where the cake was positioned earlier. While preparing to go back to the house, I noticed the father of the bride handing the leaving guests "goodie bags of the days buffet" for them to take home, something i thought was inherently Filipino. We finished packing up and went home around 4pm. We were all tired and we just spent the afternoon and early evening showing Mem pictures of his husband back when they still have no idea of one another.
One more for prosperity.

We started early the following day, as we have a 3 hour drive ahead of us to go tho Samut Sokhran. We visited an area with several (9) temples which is part of the Unseen thailand tour and if you get to visit all , it will bring you good luck. Luckily, we got to visit 6. Hehehe.


We dropped by Damnoen Saduok Floating market for lunch. Only a handful of the boats remained. We were informed that if we arrived at around 7am, the waterway would have been full of them, with nary a space between. I just browsed for some pasalubong and found some jingling purses and silk wallets. After lunch, we visited 3 temples of our 6 total and went straight home.
