entering the chatuchak weekend market is like entering a maze of goodness. the market has layers of lines of shops that go around a tower. once you enter the market and see something you want to buy, it is suggested that you buy it and not say you'll get back to it because chances are, you will forget where the shop was or you won't have time to go back once you've finished scouring the whole market. with that advice in mind, the 10 of us went off in pairs so we won't have to wait for each other and scattered all over the market. we decided to meet at one spot, which at one point or another i thought it was impossible to go back. good thing my dad found a good landmark to guide our direction.
the market sells clothes, shoes, accessories, bags, lots of cool shirts, make-up, gift materials, fabric, food, housewares, native raw materials, cellphone and mp3 player accessories and even pet supplies (even pets -- i saw a really cute beagle puppy!). i was just completely overwhelmed in chatuchak and my wallet got overwhelmed too. i left 1500 Baht lesser and my feet hurt like hell --- as if my heels were about to explode. oh i wish i can go back.

i love love the rings...its official, i have to go to bangkok sometime next year for one major shopping spree. And it's always heartwarming to see such photos of a lovely family...
however, i dunno what these bunch of pretty korean nail polish are doing in a bangkok market...though i've never heard of the brand "go-ya-ngi" or cat in English.
Amazing pictures! Hope you have a lovely weekend :)
