Day 8

So much to do so little time. Today I went to Chatuchak Weekend Market (JJ's) which is a 27 acre flea market, tons of good food too. Bargaining is a the name of the game here. Most of the time you can talk them down 50-70%.

I have made it to many of the major sights that I wanted to. But there are dozens of more I would like to see. Tomorrow is my big fishing trip.

After a long day of hitting the temples and sights I went to the Vertigo Moon bar at the Banyan Tree hotel. It is 61 stories up and has a awesome view of the city. After that I grabbed some food at a street stall and found this awesome Thai jazz club near my hotel.

Today I just took it easy. Walked around the shopping area, got a 1 hour long foot massage for $10.

Tomorrow Muay Thai fights!

Day four

Sorry for the limited updates, I am trying to get as much in as possible in the time I am here. Also my net access limited to my hotel room and a nearby internet cafe.

Another great day in Bangkok. Today I was able to spend more time in Chinatown and see the Golden Buddha.
