| Tup and I at Hot Pot... now I had hot pot once before and to be honest it was not my favourite things but this was AMAZING! Seriously delicious. |
MY TURN... I believe I am eating Jelly fish here... yes you read it correctly jelly fish!
Tup and Big eating noodles for breakfast before our rafting trip... this place was a little seedy but it was fun!
 |
| My turn... now I am not sure what I was eating and Tup promised not to tell me because he said I would hate it ... which was probably for the best! |
Whoever told me that in Thailand I would lose weight was LYING!! Well at least while I am with Tup there will be NO and I repeat NO weight loss. I just love thai food... well with a couple of exceptions not really partial to innerds (I refuse to eat them knowingly) but I told Tup if I do accidently eat something like that to not tell me or I will probably puke it up! I did ever so gracefully spit out some horribly slimy coconut thing luckly it was with Tup and Big so I didnt have to worry! If I did this at Tups house his parents would probably not allow me to eat with them ever again! Knock on wood - so far my stomach has been really good.
The soccer game was really fun - I met one of Tup's friends girlfriends her name was Nuit (sound like the french way to say night). She was lovely and just about the cutest thing you had ever seen. Tup's friends were also super nice and fun! They were all very welcoming although it was some what suspect when about 3 of them called themselves Chris - only because when I asked Tup about his friends Chris he said that he did not have any friends named Chris. Apparently they were just amking up "Canadian" names! I didnt end up going out for dinner or drinks because I was WAY to tired and the next morning we were getting up really early to go rafting!
5:30 AM came way too soon (Hello Jetlag)- but it wasn't that I had to get up then, it was that my body was ready to wake up. I decided to have a shower and eat my peanut butter toast with banana's on top because I was starving! Then I read up on some Thai words... one of which I remembered Ka Poon Ka (I know this is not the correct spelling) meaning "thank you." Tup got up around 6:15 and we left the house to pick up his friend BIG (yes like Mr. Big from sex and the city). The traffic was horrible getting to his house as he lives in Bangkok and there was early morning work and school traffic! We then took the highway to Nahkon Nayok a province about one hour away! Being in Nahkon Nayok made me see an entirely different Thailand then what I was used to (I know it has only been 3 days). Nahkon Nayok was was lush and green. There were rice paddy's and small village communities along the river! We decided to stop on the way to a small rice noodle place along the canal. The food was surprisingly delicious. We had peanut chicken satay and Tom Yum soup! It was really good. I asked for vegetarian because the boys had innerds and I really did not want to have that .... GROSS! I cant really get over it but that is Thai people eat... I think the only way I would be able to eat it is if I was DRUNK and I mean really drunk! We then moved on to the rafting adventure trip. We were just going out early to see what it would be like! Tup has planned for the four of us (Tup Alyssa Adam and Myself) to go on a Rafting trip with all of his friends about 20 total. It was really fun and I am really looking foward to the big trip!
After Tup, Big and I went to a restaurant that the giude had "recommended for us" now when big told me this I thought he said we have "to eat like a man" at this place. It was really hilarious and had us laughing the entire ride home. The food was delicious. I definitely ate one of my favourites thus far - this spicy talipa dish! It was so spicy that I had to eat only a little bit of it - now I am not going to lie that night my bottom was hurting because of how spicy it was (it wouldnt be in true Chantelle fashion if I didnt give you that detail ha ha).
That night I CRASHED super early at 6:30 and woke up at 2:30am thinking that it was morning time. IT IS OFFICIAL - I HATE JETLAG! After laying still for about an hour I decided to get up and read one of the 10 or so books I brought along with me. I read Eat Pray Love (how fitting I know) which made me laugh cry and smile. I am not finished the book but it was a good read so far! Now Tup and I are taking it easy and saving our energy for tonight!!!

| Tup and I at the boardwalk in Samut Prakan. It was really nice. This is where the delta for the chao phraya river! |
 |
| Nothing like riding in the back of a pickup on our way to rafting! |
 |
| One of the locals taking a picture with me... she was so surprised to someone white... and I am really white right now too! |
 |
| Floating down the river... it was a good way to cool off! |
 |
| These boys were really cute and it was my first monkey I totally freaked out though and feel backwards into the raft! |
 |
| In Front of the Temple ... there were a ridiculous amount of Cat fish. It was really cool to see! |
 |
| An old woman selling fruit at the side of the road. The fruit was sooo delicious a cross between a mango and peach YUMMMY! |
