After wrapping up our day trip to Talad Maeklong’s Risky Market, Damnernsaduak Floating Market and Blooms Orchid Park, I couldn’t have been more pleased. The BBA staff did an excellent job at organizing this professionally guided tour to experience a glimpse of the authentic everyday life of Thai people, away from all the hustle and bustle of Bangkok. It was an ideal opportunity to mingle with and get to know some of my fellow exchange students better. However, my most cherished highlight was our last stop at Blooms Orchid Park with time to relax in comfort and chat over a coffee, while surrounded by lush greenery and an array of exotic flowers.

 

I had a fantastic day with fun people, great stories and a collection of wonderful memories. Definitely worth getting up early!
