Day 6 - Last Minute Shopping

We were awake at 5+am, wanted to shop at the morning market that is outside our hotel. It will only be opened from 3am to 9am. But, it was raining! So, we headed back to hotel for breakfast at 6am while waiting for the rain to stop. There wasn't alot of people shopping around, mainly due to the rain i guess.

Checked out of our hotel at 11am and placed our luggages at the lobby before we headed out to our last shopping area - Chatuchak. The shops are opened mostly on weekend. It is the largest market in Thailand and in the world. My rough estimation would be around 5 bugis streets? We separated into 2 taxi and ended up at different locations. Due to the largeness of the place, we didn't manage to find each other and hence shopped separately. We didn't managed to cover much as there was just endless shops.

Chatuchak























However, we ran into this magic stall, selling magic cards and stuff. The owner will perform the tricks and if you were to buy, he will reveal the secrets to you. Me and a friend bought the cards and get him to perform other tricks for us too. We were like 2 kids watching magic performance. Lol.

As we were hungry, we headed back to the shopping mall that is beside our hotel. Intended to eat Swensen meal, but they only have Swensen's ice cream. So, settled for that and enjoyed the Chocolate Earthquake. Yummy~

Headed to the airport and it only cost us 200B this time. Haha. Less than half of what we pay for when we first reach.

This marks the end of our Poly trip. Enjoyed it lots! Thanks for the companion. ^.^
