Travel Diaries: Bangkok Day 2 (Safari World & Marine Park, The Marble Temple)

Our second day in Bangkok was super packed!  We were in Safari World & Marine Park most of the day then we passed by the Marble Temple and lastly, we passed by the first ISO certified jewelry shop and apparently its the biggest jewelry shop in the world.  Good thing our breakfast the whole time we were in Bangkok was a buffet breakfast.

Let me just say there were so many tourists!  When I got the itinerary and read that we had Safari World, I had thoughts of animals in their respective cages or animals free to roam and us transferring to a separate vehicle that would bring us around to view the animals.  But when we entered, still in the van, it took us a while to realize that we were already in the safari. Vans and buses were all slowly moving with tourists and school children viewing the animals that were free to roam the area.  It was quite a challenge to take photos.

Deers (? LOL) are so photogenic!

And that ends the actual safari.  It took us less than an hour I think to go around and see the animals.  After that it was actually time to enter the zoo and watch the shows.

First up was the Orangutan Show.  They were so human like!  They had a boxing match.  Its a great show for kids. 

Next was the Sea Lion Show who drew so much viewers.

Before the third and last show we watched, we had a lunch buffet.  Again, the noodle soup was present.  And it seems like Thailand is very much abundant with watermelon as we've been having it for dessert from the beginning of our trip (in the airplane).

This is me and the kids. :)

Yes, I am a scardy cat.

The amazing view of the safari!

 Finally, the dolphin show.  After this, we left Safari World.  Going to Safari World and leaving Safari World took a while because it was actually quite far and the traffic didn't help.

We visited the Marble Temple which was amazing, but I think Bangkok has much more stunning temples.  Unfortunately, we were only able to visit one. 

As I said earlier, our last stop was the jewelry shop.  I ended up buying a simple ring to remind myself of the trip.  It was interesting to see the people making the jewelry in action.

And that's that for our second day in Bangkok.  I have a few days more! :)
