I’m in Thailand!

I’m in Bangkok for the weekend! Anyone who knows me knows that I looove me some Thailand, so when a girlfriend proposed a quick weekend getaway to Bangkok I was all for it. Since we’ve both been before (this is my 3rd visit to the country and my girlfriend’s 5th), we decided to keep it simple: all that’s on the agenda is eating and shopping. As such, we hopped in a cab this afternoon and hightailed it to Bangkok’s Chatuchak Market, said to be one of the largest weekend markets in all of the world. It’s massive, crowded, and high energy — just the way I like it! There is food, clothing, flowers, souvenirs, and even animals for sale in the market. Since I’m short on time (just popped into the hotel for a quick shower and rest, now off to dinner — shopping and eating are the name of the game, remember?!), here are a few snaps so you can get a feel for our experience.

Are you a fan of markets?
