Wednesday

Wednesday I went with Sarah-jane (from the American Women's club) and the Australian Women's Club to Chatachuk market!!
The American WC lets ladies not from America join, Australia only let's Australian's
join but I can tag along :).

This is a weekend market but during the week they have flowers for sale and we also went to the fruit/ food market!!

I met Sarah-jane at the ASOK skytrain stop and we interchanged with the MRT (subway).

This was my first experience with the MRT.

Terminal 21 mall to the left...

MRT entrance on the right...

view of Sukhumvit down below...

The MRT was very clean and not crowded at all!!!

These are some of the Australian ladies exiting the subway area!

We headed to a very very fun "wet market" fruit, vegetables, meats and seafood!  Tons of pics!!!

Durian (stinky)

sliced Durian...

Pamelo (very good)!!  kinda like grapefruit...

mango pups

rose apples on the right (not much taste)

cringel fruit (it was ok, I kinda thought it tasted like a nail shop smells)...

inside of cringel

lobsters and squid

drying meat

food for sale in the food court type area...

I bought this shirt, it was my first purchase other than food in Thailand!

Across the street furniture market area...

Then we crossed the street to the flower market.

Tons of pretty flowers!

Pomegranates

There is a map and all sorts of zones etc to try to keep you from getting lost.

BACK AT THE HOTEL...

OK!!!  When John got home he comes in and says that they are setting up to film a scene from Only God Forgives starring.... Ryan Gosling!!!

So of course I have to immediately change clothes and come to check it out, this is the lobby bar.

One of the doormen tell us that tomorrow (Thursday) same time they will be filming...

So we head upstairs to MOS Burger and both get teriyaki chicken sandwiches...
