Heard about chatuchak market in Bangkok for a gazillion times but never really been there...
So on my short stay in Bangkok, finally I decided to check it out!
To my amazement..this place was huge!!
You literally can find anything here..the place is well organized too..so you don't need to worry of getting lost..
All you gotta do is get a map from the info counter at the main entrance!
*there are more then one entrance.. Do get the right one *
They organized the place in a way where the pottery, arts and crafts are in a section..
And clothes are in another,
Souvenirs, massage, etc. it's all here!
Not to mention Thai street snacks *shrieks*
XD
It's an all in one place to hangout during the weekends!
Don't worry it closes pretty late as well.. So you can blow out your pockets here the entire day
So I came out of the train station and walked through a park...out of the park entrance, there were many stalls selling the locals delicacy from noodles to bbq squid etc.
*stomach grumbles *
But of course! Keep calm Mel...keep calm!
There were oceans of people..quite squeezy when you get to the small walkways
So through the entrance and in we go!
This place is massive! Got so excited exploring every little inch of this place and without realizing it's starting to get dark :(
So we got crazy shopping clothes which is super cheap!! Cheaper then platinum mall in my opinion!
Bought many dresses for like 100bht each!
So I was a happy kiddo! <3
Anyways, how can we forget the food when we step into Thailand!
Of course not duh!
So for the starts I had my favorite coconut ice cream!
Anything with coconut makes me go cray cray! :p
Selfie of course a must have!
Then i tried this squid with my favorite green chili and below is just cabbage..
It's super spicy I super love it!!
The spicier the better!! That's the spirit! Yums!
Dying to have it again!
So here's my companion of the day!!
He's a very nice guy..and hey!! He shop more then me haha!
Meet Cassidy!
For dinner..after a long walk we were drained out..so we simply picked a stall in the market..
It wasn't what I expected honestly..
I mean we expected since it was the road side so the locals were the chef and we were expecting delicious food and especially the tom yum! But to my disappointment , it sucks bad...
Even the road side Tom yum in Kl taste way better!!
And it wasn't exactly cheap? What a rip off!
It tastes like ajinomoto with chilly and there wasn't much seafood in it..mostly cabbage..it was horrible I can't even finish it..
I guess it's mostly for the foreigners to try...so sad to think they can't truly taste the delicious tomyum!
So peeps! Choose your shop wisely! Not everywhere in the streets are as delicious as it seems!
So after the unsatisfying meal,
We continue our walk..and passed by a cart selling bugs!!
Yums! I tried crickets before back in Kl...my bestie, Shanel's mom brought some fresh crickets back from hatyai! She cooked it with soy sauce and it was scrumptious!
Scared to eat at first..but after the first bite..you really just can't stop!
More like French fries only scary looking!
So this time I tried the wombs and grasshoppers!
Yummy yummy...the wombs taste way better! Love it!
The grasshoppers aren't as nice cause u get bored eating so many of it..it feels quite yucky after awhile..
After that it was quite late and we needed to get up early the next day..
So we headed back to our hotel..
Tadah! I didn't mention I got a tattoO?
It was cheap so hey..why not right? Haha
It was done at the sides of my rib cage...
I ordered room service later on cause I was still hungry..
Ugh...thinking about the horrible tasting tomyum really spoilt my appetite there :(
I ordered pad Thai! It was so good! Their tomyum was to die for!
Guys who are staying at Novotel Bangkok should try room service! It's wonderful! And you don't even need to go out! Thumbs up to the chefs!!
So this marked the end of my short stay in Bangkok...
And another adventure awaits!
Till then, goodnight peeps!
