You've probaly heard of those legendary Bangkok traffic jams. Here's a Chiang Mai traffic jam. It's Monday Market time.
My neighbors Larry, Norman, and Jar walking to the market.
Entering the market is chaos, but after you've been there a few times you know where to find you favorite things.
I remember going with my mother to buy groceries. Looks like it's as boring now as it was then.
My favorite vendor sells sushi for 5 baht each. I usually buy a dozen from him. Sushi is exotic and popular food in Thailand so if you want any you have to get there early.
Bargaining for mushrooms.
Salad anyone?
Shopping for DVD's. These cost about 40 baht, or slightly more than a dollar. You have a 50/50 chance that it will work. There are no refunds.
Cha Music is slow music - the drippy sweet romantic stuff. Notice that's it's all girls at this booth.
You name it; you can probably find it at the market.
If you shoot me with your camera I'll shoot you with my squirt gun...
It's a good bet dad doesn't know about this leaky diaper...should I tell him?
We returned home just before it rained. This was a gorgeous site but I wasn't good enough to capture the beauty with a camera. Lucky for us to be there to see it live.
