Aside from the typical aimless walks in chatucak looking for sumthing to catch ones attention, I headed to my normal stalls. Theres a nice T-shirt stall in Section 5 lane 22 or 23 I think... Cant actually remember.. but I know my way around like the maps at the back of my hand. It sells Thai motives T-shirt. Orachun or Type Thai motives are its usual designs. Each T-shirt sells for Baht180. But u can ask them to go as low as Baht110 (RM11) depending on how many u are purchasing. The other section worth going is the ones to the right side as one comes out of the MRT(not skytrain) which is situated West of Chatuchak. There are 2 nice T shirt stalls. They arrange the T-shirt based on sizes, colors & then design. So its pretty easy to spot the ones you will like. Around Baht150 (RM15). Mental note, guys... do wear a tight hugging singlet.. so that u can just slipped the T-shirts on and off anytime to finalize ur purchase. T-shirts will shrink a little so dont get it if its tight. Gals,.... think u guys can do the same. Dont worry... the japanese kawaii gals will be more sexy. Its f*&king hot anyway... u'll be glad to wear as little clothing as possible. Darn, I'm beginning to sound like a veteran shop-a-holic giving advice on how to spent hard earned money as well as a ham-sup old guy.. ha ha... oh.. before i forget... continuously drink ur H20 to cool your body down. Normally it will take u from 11am to Sun Down to shop there.... heh heh... Hmm.. theres a muslim restaurant in the mid of the chaotic wkend market.... but i couldnt locate it this time.... ish!!... sick of eating Pad-Thai all the time.

 
    Chatucak


 


Even with the price of the rooms, breakfast were excluded. There was a small restaurant right beside it
however. Thats where most bfast, lunch and dinner were eaten. I was living on Pad Thai Noodles
since I cant take non-halal food.


But there was one time I was already feeling week and needed some meat. Non-halal chicken.
The usual thai dishes, pandan leave chicken, tom yam, green curry, fried garoupa.

 
Time was 1020am after bfast when we headed to Chatucak.


The idea was to get there before the sun gets too hot.


We wore singlets anticipating the hot weather.


Ratchathewi Station is quite central, we need to head north to Chatucak


There are delay passes that costs 120Baht each day.
But we didnt get that, we buy each individual ride. Its cheaper...


From N1... we arrived to N8.. Mo Chit. Then walked to Chatucak. Its pretty convenient really.


There were a lot of food, goods, ...arrr... u name it you got it....


We thought the strawberries were 20Baht.. apparently.. that was for the small packets by the side. So I put back lor... RM2 for 5 strawberries is kinda expensive... then she scolded me... argh...
 of course I cursed back in malay lah... ha ha...

As u can clearly see... we had a lot of grounds to cover, hundred of stalls to shop shop in.. ha ha ha... The dark green stalls on the west side is more upclass... more quality things to buy there...


Dozens of T-shirts, 2 huge lamps, 4 disney mugs and bowls, etc later..
we headed back to the hotel as the sun begins to set. Hmm..
and how are we going to hand carry it all on the plane? Well,.. we did.
