Bangkok Trip (Day 2)

After some meager 6 hours of sleep, I woke up to a bright sunny morning :) The lack of sleep was because the room was far too bright in the night due to the stupid spot light outside of our room :(

Anyway, our plan of the day was Chaktuchak Weekend Market. It is a Must-Go at Bangkok and it only opens in Sat and Sun so no way that we were going to miss it right?!
Initially we planned to go by BTS because I heard that the traffic was crazy at that area, however he spotted some tuk tuk outside of our hotel so we decided to hop on one of it.

This is our conversation with the tuk tuk driver :

He: how much to go Chaktuchak market?
Driver : 20 Baht
He :  you confirmed 20 Baht?
Driver : Yes ! Chaktuchak market, no problem !

So we hopped on the tuk tuk and we were on the ride for about 10 min, then suddenly, he turned to us and said:

Driver :  Sir, Chaktuchak Market very far ! outside the city! 200 Baht!
He :  What?!! No! you said 20 Baht just now! that's why we sit your tuk tuk
Driver : No! NO 20 Baht, 200 Baht! Chaktuchak very far! outside city!
Me : What the hell?? you think we first time come ChaktuChak? Very near only!
Driver :  No! Very Far!

then the driver just stopped the tuk tuk in the middle of the road divider and tried to convince us to pay him 200 Baht, we down right refused and we got down from the tuk tuk. The driver refused to cut his fare price and refused to barged from the middle of the road so end up we gave him 20Baht although he asked for 50 Baht. I was so angry and disappointed by these tuk tuk drivers so for my whole trip, I just used public transport and walked ! :(

traffic outside the famour JJ Market

My favourite section of JJ Market

Chaktuchak Market or JJ Market is super super huge but nicely organized and sectioned unlike my previous visits 4 years back. The snacks there really good, my favorites are : milk tea, grill pork skewer, coconut ice cream etc..

pork skewer

my fav of all, coconut ice cream with coconut water, love!

he is tarik-ing tea, super nice tea too :D

Padthai, cheap and good!

Some of the loots of the day :)

We bought shoes, bags, cloths, dresses and walked for more than 6 hours so we decided to head back to hotel at around 5pm. On our way back to the BTS station, we passed by many new stalls just set up right beside the main road and I can't help myself to go browse at those items again, and They Are Much Cheaper than those in the market! >.<    Too Bad :( I should have come out earlier and walked along the main road instead and more stalls were coming up at the evening too! So next time, please come in the afternoon instead !

Well, that's all for Day 2 shopping! Next up - Chinatown Sea Food dinner :)
