Suanlum Night Bazaar

That was a super cool night market ! I went there on friday night, actualy did not really know where to go, I just walked by the lumpini park and found out noise next to it, then when I went there It was a huge place, with a concert and all around lots of little shops, artisanat, clothes, shoes, everythings ! and it took me probably more than 2 hours to go all around ! (even if not everything was open) and I found so many nice stuffs, no many things that I would have loved to buy ! And well I found a crazy, wonderful, georgous dress and I was really close to buy it even if it was so expensive ( well about 30 euros, which was nothing for this dress but still expensive from Thailand ) unfortunatly I tried it and believe or not but with some lips gloss and straight hair I will have looked like a real women ! well lots of stuffs and not enought money (yes yes I am serious ! I need to get this numerique camera in China, for sur won't be expensive but still need to be careful, in plus I have fews days off, I still don't know where to spend them, Cambodga for temples or nice Island like Koh phi phi o Koh phangan for the beaches ??!! will see !) anyway I am going to china in not even 2 weeks and I am sur that they will have a lots to buy over there !
About this market, it's open every days from 3pm to 12pm and it is probably the best I have done so far (even if I always say the same when I have discovered all the past markets !) too many markets in Bangkok, during the night, the morning, the afternoon, in the very center, away in the middle of nowhere or simply just about 5min from home :) that is probably why this IS the best one ! I can go all the time I want ;)
Directions: Lumphini subway station

Week End in Koh Samet

How to get there :From Bangkok by public bus: Many buses leaving from Ikamai(Eastern) bus station to Ban Pae directly. A2-122B 4hrs Some bus companies offer joint tickets(bus + boat).

Koh Samet

<<--- Here it was ! we arrived there about 1pm, had a lunch (spicy as asual) and just relax on the beach ... I had a little bangaloo next to the sea. The Island is quite big unfortunatly too many tourist, it was find but I wish it would have been without people, just the sea the sand and me ?! .... many girls doing Thai massage were there also and I couldn't resist to offer me one, under the trees, with the waves sound and exotic music playing from the bar behind it was just perfect ! so during one hours and for 200b I had a really nice massage ! and in plus in the end I had for the first time of my life : manicure ! interesting ...
I have been bitten by so many insicts ...arf ... it was just so hot there and the only clever thing to do was to stay in the shadow ... even if it doesn't change anything about sunburn, it just softer !
so yes ! I had a perfect relaxing week end and I loved it ...

Koh Samet !!!

I spent my week end in a really cool place, far away from busy bangkok, far away from trafic and shop, it was just nice, I spent all days long swimming in the transparent beach (wondering if there were any sharks) or slipping on the white sand, well it was perfect, the only problem now is that I am fucking red or brown or whatever it just hurt !!!

So yes ! I was in Koh Samet, whitch is the nearest island from Bangkok ... had to take a cab during 3 hours who take us to the coast, then we had to take a boat and playa we were !!!

China Town

After the Wat Pho I decided to go to China Town as it wasn't that far ! and it was chaotic ! lots of people, lots of stand market everywhere, food, clothes, typical chiness food and stuffs. smells of everything in plus with the very hot saison ( I do not believe the meteo whitch says that it is about 30 degres... It's defenetly more ! well China town was intesresting, really big and not that much of tourist ... I probably thought that it would have been diferent, but I must go during the night, whitch woulb be more cosmopolite and coolest I am sur -)

Wat Pho

This morning I went to Wat Pho, is one of the biggest and it says that is possibly the most interesting temple in Thailand as it combines history, medical science and it is a center for mediationand traditional massage training ! in plus there is the golden reclining Buddha that measues 46 metres and has feet inlaid with mother of pearl. Then I saw many bouddhiste inside ... That the first temple I am visiting and I am defenetly looking forwards to see more of them ! The address of Wat Pho is 2 Sanamchai Road, It's open every day from 8 AM to 5 PM, and the admission is 20 baht for farang, free for Thai.

Patpong night market !

this is a very cool area and I found travelers ! there they are ! I saw many of them in this big market and around, it's plenty of shops, bars ... people ! from everywhere !

unfortunetly I did not stay that long but for sur I will come back but anyway not for buying cos the price there were more expensive than the two others markets that I have already seen but if you want the latest Louis Vuitton or Gucci bags, Rolex watches or the latest block buster film on DVD, foot's tee shirt, then Patpong night market is the place to go. There are row upon row of market stalls in a couple of streets in the Patpong area flanked by numerous go-go bars. The fakes are usually good quality and cheap but you have to bargain and you have to take a chance on everything working when you get home !

In the end before get home, we ate in a cool restaurant outside, with a kind of concert and thaie girls dancing with costume !
