So Yesterday we headed to the largest market I have ever been to. As far as I was concerned the largest in the world. There were around 200,000 people there all wondering around buying and selling shit. They sell absolutely everything, I mean anything. From the map to the left you can see how it is laid out. It is over 35 acers of crap you can buy. We made a meeting place if we were to loose each other, and we lost Chang Boot within five mins of being there. Cole and I wonder around trying things on laughing at Asian turkey's, and looking at the most random nick nacks you could ever imagine. If I were a female I would have been in heaven, well a skinny one. It seems like every thing is small and you cant really fit in it if you are bigger than an Asian. It was perfect for Cole and Chang Boot. They have bird bodies. I was kind of amazed at how cheap everything was. There were not that many knock off things other than Levi's they were everywhere. So after lunch which was in the race for the spiciest thing Jespe could put in his mouth, we headed to another section still wondering aimlessly. We came across this Japanese Hippie bar. They were playing some sweet jams and serving cool drinks. So we sat down and just tryed to relax for a minute. Next thing you know my beer was gone and Chang Boot wondered out of no where. It was kind of randomly amazing. It had been at least 2 hours since we last saw him and we had walked over 10 miles. After another minute or two we decided we should head back towards the casa. Good choice. This day was real nice because we decided to take the water taxi to the sky tram. It was much nicer than the scamming taxi or tuk tuks. We got to see real Thai people of all ages and sizes among there normal daily routines. It was cool to see the city from the river, at its lowest point and then the sky tram at it highest point. We then headed back, sat down with a buddy of ours and then got some well needed foot massages. Much needed and really really nice.
