Chatuchak Market, or JJ Market to Locals in Bangkok

1/25/2010

We only had one night in Bangkok (great, now I can't get that song out of my head) ~  Hubby and I wanted to go to the world famous Chatuchak Market, or the JJ Market as it is known to locals.  Once we settled into our hotel, it was time to leave again, however the kids refused, the didn't want to leave the lap of luxury for the hustle and bustle of the worlds largest market.  Instead they opted to stay back in the hotel, order room service, watch TV and have sock races down the hall of our suite.  But really, who can blame them after 2 weeks of go, go, go?  So Hubby and I left Boy 1 in charge and headed to the market.  Now I have been to a ton of markets, but seriously, this one takes the cake.   It sits on 35 acres and has more than 15,000 stalls.  You would need all weekend to make it through the entire place.  They have everything you can imagine here, and then MORE, LOTS MORE!

Meet Ganesha, he will sit in our garden for many, many years to come.....

The next morning we had to get up bright and early for our flight back to Seoul.  Since we were leaving so early our hotel packed breakfast to go for each of us!  I love this place!

Boy 2 did not want to wake up!

Good-bye Thailand! We will miss you!

    Proud Army wife and mother to 4 wonderful children.  I love to cook, travel, work out and scrapbook life’s adventures when I find the time.  We just got orders & are heading back to the states in March 2010.  I'm bummed that our time has been cut short, but proud of Hubby for the reason why.
