Floating Markets and Boat Ride
Eating fresh young coconut (Yum!) and boating through like the Jungle Cruise at Disneyland. We were initially charmed by the sights here, until we were taken to a very touristy area. Nearly every Thai who lived here sold tourist trinkets and food via their boat and/or home.

Monkey Show
We were smiling on the outside but saddened on the inside as these monkeys were not happy. Wish we could have released them into the wild and away from tourists. On the plus side, we were able to touch and play with the monkeys, which was a unique experience (but likely the very same experience that makes these monkeys so sad).
