It was a 45minute tuk tuk ride up the river to see the Irrawaddy dolphins we did it early while it was calm and cool. The 100mtr row out in the boat is a bit steep at $9 each but the money goes to the right places the dolphins are endangered so they've banned commercial shipping and fishing in the area.
They are a bit harder to photograph since there's no wake or waves for them to play and jump from like dolphins in the sea would but we still got a couple. They are shaped a bit different too with no beak and only a very small fin.
Just relaxed for the afternoon, there's very little to do in Kratie so we had pineapple and mangoes. I carved up the pineapple like the locals do, it took me ages but for a pocket knife it came out ok.
Street stalls line almost every street in Kratie but soon the new market building will open to house a few which will make walking the streets easier!
