7. What else happened after our first steps in Bangkok?

We asked the local people here and there what caught the interest of tourists. I am not even going to comment on the level of English, however, to high extent, they managed to direct us to the most interesting sightseeing points in Bangkok. Another tuk-tuk driver drove us to the Chao Phraya River and recommended us to get on a boat from which we could explore totally different places in the capital on our own. From mysterious temples to colourful hotels and buildings, and the lives of locals in houses around the river itself, whose first steps out of home are directly into the water. I can still remember the sight of a small child giving a massage to a dog that had gone into ecstasy with its tongue lolling out in one of the riverside huts. This is Thailand. Colourful. A real fairy tale with real characters, even the tourists participate in it. We accepted the Chao Phraya River as a coin with 2 sides. One, the daytime, which shows great misery and dirty water, to the evening glitter and lights of the attraction boats and ships. Later on it will be about all these sensations again, but I had not seen more charming filth, smell and mess. You get used to that picture so much that you want to live there, to be part of that movie.
