Bangkok, Thailand
It was only the night before that we were able to find a supposedly cheap way to get to the Elephant camp of Damnoen Saduak so we can ride an elephant (something we can't do in Manila) - we found a tour operator near our hotel which offered to get us there for 1800 Baht in a private van. We thought it was a good offer since the tour packages we found online cost more or less 2000 Baht for each person.
However, we found later on that we still need to take the floating market tour worth 1000 Baht (definitely a tourist trap) since that was the only way to get to the Elephant camp. Furthermore, the elephant ride would cost an additional 500 Baht. (Checking online further now, I found this tour which only costs 1150 Baht.). I guess it was really important to research online prior to the trip to make sure to get the best deal possible.

We also went to Damnoen Saduak Tiger Zoo for some photo-op with a few tigers (something we can actually do in Subic).

Back in the city, before our flight back to Manila at midnight, I decided to splurge
