Spent it at the Chatuchak  Weekend Market. Supposedly one of the biggest markets in the world, it is enormous!

Just as a for instance, if you wanted to buy a goldfish, there was 200 fish stalls. A puppy, 100. If it’s food, every kind of street food you could name. Clothes, hats, shoes, art, jewelry. Anything for sale, it was there. 

So many people. Just having a stroll around, spending and having fun.

After we couldn’t take it any more,  a lovely hour at the park, people watching.

Dinner was doner kebab and corn on the cob, standing up in the backpacker street.

Talking until 1 am…my throat is sore still this morning.

Today is the royal palace, some wats, green curry, and an amulet market.

Have a good night!

What a day! Our hotel last night….(shudder). Just a few hours of sleep.

Now it’s all better! In a nice place, and looking forward to closing my eyes.

Crystal and I had a good day, despite my  restless night. 

There’s a commuter boat on the Chao Pra Ya, and we went back and forth a little, taking pics and such. Very nice. 

Saw a cathedral. A wedding was just held, so we got to see some beautiful rose arrangements.

Lunch was so gooooooood. I had a splendid green curry that made me lose my voice temporarily. It was that good. Also had these filled pancakes called murtaba, or something. Mmmmmmmm.

After that,  a walk, rest, and recharge. Some laundry for me, and get out for dinner.

I had thai food. It was okay.

After dinner, I popped in to a wat to see the holiday ceremony that was happening. I beleive it is kind of an “all saints day”. Very interesting. Special foods and candles were purchased,  then a worshipful procession around the main prayer hall, with chanting and such. Many attendants were wearing white, I think to honor the dead. Also could have been a kind of Memorial Day thing.

Now I’m really anticipating a good sleep!

Goodnight everyone 

Just a travel day

I’ll have to work on something good for tomorrow!

Goodnight 

I cannot overstate how lazy I was.

I left my room only to eat and use the facilities.

Late in the afternoon I met a friendly lady who wanted some company as much as I did. So we chatted and had ice cream together.

Very satisfactory.

Off to Crystal and Bangkok tomorrow!!

Bye!
