Chatuchak
Written by Hannah Tan   

Covering 35 acres of land with over 15,000 stalls and more than 200,000 visitors every Saturday and Sunday, the Chatuchak Weekend Market in Bangkok is the mother of all markets – and possibly one of the biggest and most famous markets in the world.

You can find almost anything and EVERYTHING here – from food and household goods, to clothes, accessories and even animals! *laugh* A must-visit for first timers in Bangkok, Chatuchak will give you a no-frills budget shopping experience that requires high tolerance to crowds, heat and congestion. *laugh*

Here I am in Bangkok to give you the best of what this city has to offer – food, as always, will not be left out. *laugh* I just paid my 500 baht daily subscription to give you this post and to tell you how much I miss you guys. It’s been a hectic year-end for me but I’m grateful for internet access which allows me to stay in touch. *laugh* Thank God for technology ya… *laugh*

my evening out *smile*

Visitors and tourists were advised against wearing red and yellow today amidst the political unrest. I’m off work today so may just stay in just to be safe. Will keep the pictures coming in though so stay tuned! Mwaahhhhhhhhhh~

And Shaun! Well done! We're all so proud of you. *smile* Congratulations and a big big hug. Excellent work. *smile* Have you decided on Arts or Science for next year? *wink* 
 
CS, not too sure but since I'm still in Bangkok it'll depend on the people I'm here with. *smile* Not too fond of clubs and cigarette smoke so will try my very best to have a quiet nite, perhaps with good food? *laugh*
