Chatuchak Market ~ Bangkok

The Largest Outdoor Market

The Chatuchak Market is a sprawling

market in Bangkok that covers 27 acres.

It is a weekend market where

you can find everything, even

the drinks were interesting.

My heart went out to this little

old lady, she was one of the

sellers!  She had some cough

drops and candy in a little plastic

bag.  It was so hot and she was

struggling with every step.

She was still smiling though...

I could have taken home half of

 this booth of celadon pottery.

The cakes looked great but

in this heat who wants a cupcake?

These were tiny fruits like ones

you would put in a doll house.

This lady was preparing a wide

range of interesting dishes.

We really live in a flip

flop world these days.

This guy had feather dusters

around one shoulder that made

him look like he was wearing

them and beautiful bundles

of peacock feathers in his

other hand.  Now that should

be a challenge on Project Runway!

Durian Fruit.

It is an asian delicacy, some say

it smells of almonds, I say it smells

of death.  There are hotels and

hospitals that ban the fruit.

These are toppings for ice cream!

I saw a guy go for the corn, red bean

and sticky rice trifecta...

Num-num.
