From there then we went to Suan Lum Night Bazaar...

We hired a taxi to visit one Aglonema nursery about half an hour drive from Bangkok city (the driver again, the same driver when we went to Dreamworld, average speed was 140 km.)
Since already half way to the floating market at Do.... we hired the taxi for (Bath 1,700) to bring us there........

For the boat itself, the charges is Bath600 per person, regardless how many person in a boat, for about 1 hour 20 minute. Actually the best time to see their floating activity is from 06.00-10.00, because after that will not be so busy already.... only tourists and vendors...

Along the journey, you will the native do their daily activities. We met some of them who bathed, washed their utensils after meal using the river water. Woah.......

New Bangkok International Suvarnabhumi Airport, before we go separate ways *).... flew back to Singapore.

*) Go separate ways

The story started when I booked the tickets. We decided to take the budget airline. For return tickets, Tiger Airways is the cheapest... When I tried to book for 4 person, the price seems like more expensive compare with if I book for 1 person. So... I booked for 1 person and put it under my name .... success............

Then I tried to book again for the next person.............. o oh...... the price for 1 person already gone up, same with the price for 4 person........... what happened? Tried few times, yet still the same price........... okay........ then I tried another airlines... and Value Air offer cheaper price for Bangkok-Singapore........ So, I booked 3 person for Bangkok-Singapore.... and that is means that we flew together to Bangkok by Tiger Airways, but the trip back to Singapore, I flew with Tiger and the rest of them flew with Value Air..........

Anybody know why like that???????? Why I can book 1 ticket cheaper and then no more for the rest of us??????? Is that means that the ticket with cheaper fare already no more and the rest have to pay higher fare????
