Having booked the airfares months in advance, I just wasn't clued-in enough to realize how early a 6 AM flight is. Yup, wake-up call at 4, at the airport by 5. This is the last leg of the Thailand portion of the trip, and we were in our Bangkok guesthouse by 8.
We dragged ourselves out into the heat (about 10 degrees cooler, but still feels like 85), and went to the weekend market. Simply put, it's huge. With everything you could imagine. From cheap things you'd never want, to REALLY good and strange foods, to full-on pet shops jammed into the middle of the very "sardine" packed stalls. They had rabbits, dogs, squirrels tied up with yarn, snakes, and freaky rodents of all shapes and sizes. Mom, guess what'll be in your stocking this year?! The rest of the day was spent shopping and grabbing those last minute items we or our friends can't live without.
Chuck, my Dad's businnes contact, again took us to dinner at what he described as "the best Thai restaurant." I think he is right. For only 3 of us, we ordered 2 appetizers and about 8 entrees, along with sticky rice (with coconut milk) and mango for dessert. This guy's mission is to make me pop, I'm sure. But the food was to his description, and VERY good.
