In Amphawa Floating Market 
You can also get a chance to buy food for monks in the early morning
We have the food provided by the resorts and need to side of river around 6am
Monks will come by to collect the food and of course they will pray and bless for you

 They come by boat

 There are guidelines that you might need to follow around while giving away the food
Sequence of what to give first or later and the portion as well

Leaving to Maeklong Railway Market
It's around 30 minutes journey from Amphawa Floating Market

 Maeklong Railway Station

 Dog carries stuff for his master..LOL

 Keeping everything inwards once receiving signal that train is coming..
in seconds...

 Train is on the way
The stalls next to it are just inches away from the train
=.=

Setting up everything back again as normal once the train had passed through
In seconds too..

P/S: Resting for a while for the sake of the content in the wallet

Emotion gets ups and downs
Around this months
Getting worse when it comes to words and actions by others
How to put it down and let everything go
Just doing hard to ask the heart to do so..
