We had a successful run in Suphanburi. On Saturday one of the teachers Annie worked with took us out to check out some different spots that you can't quite access without a car. We stopped by this market place which was unreal. There was a few small roads tied together, the buildings, linked by makeshift roofs to block the hot sun from getting through to the shops, little motorbikes cutting through the foot traffic,  and it was there that hundreds of Thais displayed their merchandise. All different foods, souvenir t-shirts, handcrafted goods, all sorts of things. You name it, they had it These people live out of these little shops. It was very cool. We then continued our travels to the aquarium which was like any other aquarium you have seen so it wasn't as climactic as other parts of this trip but there was one thing that intrigued me. The crocodile show. This lunatic got into a big shallow pool with 5 crocodiles in it and he was just messing with them all. It looked like he was really pissing them off dragging them around by their tails and hitting them. They were striking at him, hissing and chomping their jaws when he would get close. Then he sat in front of one croc waiting with his mouth open. The announcer of the show was speaking Thai so I didn't know what he was about to do. He reached his whole arm into the crocs mouth and I'm sure he touched the things throat. He quickly pulled his arm back and the croc slammed his jaws (you could hear the power of that animals jaws from a far distance). He then keeled over clinching his hand. I couldn't believe what I just saw. Then the guy got up and showed he was just kidding. He still continued taunting the crocs and at the end of the show one of the crocs attacked another, chomping down on its tail. That was the croc the guy decided would be a good one to put his head in his mouth.
    Off to the zoo now where I was excited all week about playing with the baby tigers. The only problem was that it was exam week and Thais take exam week very seriously so no one was there supervise you with them and I missed my opportunity. They were so damn cute too. Little white tigers that stood maybe just above my knee. I was so bummed.
     The zoo was a little nuts. You could get dangerously close to the animals and there is not much supervision. I shook hands with an orangutang and then he quickly latched on the bracelet I had on my wrist. It was a festival bracelet. Designed not to come off unless you cut it. He wasn't so aggressive about it but he gave me a look that said I want this and I'm not letting go. It was funny and a little scary at the same time. I was trying to pry it off and there was no use so we sat there for a minute or two until he finally got bored and let go.
      We then traveled to visit the largest sitting Buddha in the world reaching over 90 meters high. It was nuts. It was surrounded by other temples and statues. It was a long day though and the heat was at its peak there so we headed back. Annie's friend Gift was visiting her parents in Suphanburi so it was a good opportunity for those two to meet up. So we went to her and went out for some Korean BBQ. The food all week had just continued to get better. We sat at a table and a guy came over with this bucket of hot coals and dome like metal tray with  on top with large lip containing hot water. The idea is so that whatever meats you choose to cook, the juices will drip down into the water to create a soup. You could different herbs and spices in there and at the end have an awesome tasting soup that summed up your meal. Delish.
      Sunday, we layed low by having an early lunch, hit a few golf balls with Wat at the driving range, did some swimming and had a home cooked Pad Ka Pow (pork) dinner that Dao (Wats wife) made. It was a nice treat because I was wondering if we going to try her cooking all week. People kept mentioning it all week long that PAd Ka Pow was awesome.
     Now we are off to Bangkok.....
