April 24 - Bangkok Sunday Market

We arrived in Bangkok fairly early in the morning and our room wasn't ready.  So, we headed to the Sunday Markets!  Upon exiting the Sky Train, we could see rows and rows of buildings with tin roofs. We had arrived!  The markets had about 8,000 vendors who sold everything and anything--shoes, clothes, furniture, brassware, spa essentials, home goods, housewares, baby clothes, scarves, etc.  There was street food and music, a.k.a. kareoke!  The temperature inside was oppressively hot with no air conditioning and only circulating fans provided by the merchants in their kiosks.  I didn't buy much, just a pair of sandals to replace the ones that broke and a nice white cotton sleeveless shirt.
