Bangkok - Day 8

Tams flew in with Kel last night, and since she had never been to Thailand before, we had to take her to Chatuchak weekend market. After 3 hours of shopping in the heat we were wilting and ready to die.

Near one of the MRT stops by Chatu there's a cool store called Only Sugar where all the products are beige, chocolate and rose pink. the people running the place are dressed in chocolate/pink fisherman pants that Gica and Tam just had to have. it was also nice coz the 'main man' designer was in the thick of things helping out and running the place. these kinds of more personable stores are the places to go to. things usually cost more, but they're also so much better. that was the case as well later in the afternoon at MBK when i bought leather flipflops from the actual boss of the store. she was playing semi-fashion consultant.

the only other thing i took home today was a mood lamp, a bit of a cliche purchase, but am happy with it. decided to spend the night in, w/c is good coz have been going out a bit lately with other foreign friends in BKK. Tams and Kel will be visiting Angkor the next few days.
