Last Day in Bangkok
This overcast, windy day propelled many of us to spend a few hours shopping at the Chatuchak Weekend Market, a labyrinth of stalls selling fisherman pants, bright flowy dresses, silk pillowcases, silver jewelry, wares featuring elephants, orchids, lotus bulbs, green mango salad, fresh cut watermelon, and coconut juice right out of the coconut, among other things. One vendor/performer attracted customers by spinning around and around while he was pouring tandem cups of Thai iced tea. After weaving through the crowds, customers could get some reprieve with an hourlong Thai massage for 250 baht (about US$7). Since it was nearly impossible to navigate our way back to the Sky Train station, we bargained with a taxi driver for fare back to the hotel.
