Travel Tales: Patpong Night Market ~ Bangkok

Oh! The People You Meet in This Wonderful World!

Most nights when we were in Bangkok,

we would end up at the Patpong Night

Market.  It was withing walking distance

of our hotel and generally near to where

we would have dinner.

The market sells the typical watches,

purses, scarves and t-shirts but it is

like going to a show.  There are so many

things happening around you the atmosphere

is exciting and electric.  I would love to

have this VW van, pull up, flip down the bar

and instant party!

This is where I met Jennifer.  She was

one of the endless people in Asia who

called Brennan Harry Potter.  So, I became

Harry Potter's Mother.  Each night as we

walked through the market I would hear,

"Harry Potter's Mother!"  Kate and I would

buy purses from Jennifer and on the last

night we said a sad farewell.  But the story

doesn't end there.  A few weeks ago, my

brother was back in Bangkok and I sent

him to find Jennifer and bring her a

little present from me.  So here is a picture

of Jennifer holding one of my felt ornaments,

a little token of good luck from across the world.
