Chatuchak Market
Today I went to Chatuchak Market. It is a huge place full of various buildings crammed with all kind of vendor's stalls selling anything from arts and crafts, clothing, furniture, animals, cheesy little trinkets, and of course, food.
When I exited the sky train, I passed a guy handing out free samples of:
The ingredients listed in English say it is "UHT recombined non fat milk product with pomegranate and mixed berry juice. It tastes a bit like melted berry creamsicle.:)
The next sight I saw was crowds of people, both farang and nationals, streaming toward the market.
Inside the market, I noticed signs forbidding taking pictures. But then I noticed many people taking pictures, so I eventually pulled out my camera, especially since one sign at an animal booth forbade flash pictures only. From then on, when I asked, some people said yes, and some said no. So I don't have a huge variety of pictures; being animal lover that I am, I took mostly animal pictures. But below is a photo of something different.
Some of the animal pictures below are a bit blurry, but some are really cute in spite of the fuzziness, I think.:)
Snakes
Baby croccodiles
Miniature turtles
Puppies
Another puppy:)
Baby bunnies
I'm not sure what these guys are; all I could think of is miniature hedghogs??? I don't even know where I get that idea...;)
I do have one more picture; it is my favorite one, even though it is not an animal.:) I passed a booth with absolutely beautiful paintings of nature scenes. I asked the lady there who paints them, and she said she is the artist. So I proceeded to ask if she would pose by 2 of her bigger pictures. I would love to own either of the two big paintings shown below.
I finally left the market about 4:30, hot, thirsty, and tired. When I came to a stand with luscious grapes, I couldn't resist buying a few, then headed home.
