Chatuchak Market

My new home shopping binge continued yesterday at Chatuckak Market. Rupert and I spent 4 hours shopping through the thousands of stalls in the huge outdoor market. The place was packed (as usual), loud, and hot -- much like the rest of Bangkok but even more so here. We saw clothes, plants, silk flowers, food, birds, fish, ceramics, antiques, budda statues, wall hangings, electronics, kitchen supplies... I get the feeling, however, that we only saw a small percentage of what was available there.

Our load on the SkyTrain ride home consisted of: three plants, a pot, some planting soil, a sepak trakaw ball, candles, a wooden bowl, and two picture frames Damage: US$24 and two tired legs from walking around all afternoon.
