Lsia+Entry+5

Well its nearly finished, its day 9, my last full day. We go home tomorrow. So i figured ive done most of the touristy things id take some time to do some serious shopping!! Off to the markets for me. I have heard alot about these markets from friends who have been here so i thought id check them out. So i went to Chatuchak Weekend market, Jatujak, or as the locals say, JJ Market. Its a weekend market in Bangkok and all the locals as well as the tourists go there and it was so busy. I think i should have gone somewhere else, it definately wasnt the highlight of my holiday. It was crowded and hot and a bit smelly, but there was some great buys there. It has everything from the local produce to clothes, 2nd hand things, furniture, gardening, pets and the list goes on. There was even the odd back alley to get some new dvds that arent released back home yet, i got myself a few of those! But as i said it wasnt the greatest, i couldnt understand a word they were saying and they were getting a bit frustrated i think. Then i got the help of a spunky tourist who had been to Thailand before and knows a bit of the language, so i didnt get ripped off too much.
