Chatuchak Weekend Market was one of the main reasons why I extended my stay till weekend. Earlier plan was to return to Sinagpore on Friday instead of Sunday. Although that meant spending more money, it's all worth it cos it's still one of the bestest place to shop in Bangkok. Over there, I bought many cheap (but of decent quality) clothes and DD bought his "KU" bag and tee-shirts. DD searched through many many sois for his bag after the guy at one of the shop refused to bring down the price of the bag from 650 baht to 400 baht. So DD went hunting for his bag and finally found a shop that willing to bring down the price to 400 baht. But not the black colour he wanted and not the "EP" brand. Haha..."KU" is like the imitation of "EP" bag.

We reached the market at about 10. Some stalls were still busy laying their stuffs around. I should have reached earlier to be their first customer so that I can get my best price without having to bargain so hard. They believed that it's unlucky to chase thier first customer away, so giving their customer what they want.

The best part I liked about Chatuchak is the Pets section. Many adorable pups, rabbits and other exotic animals can be found there. The rabbits were so so so adorable when they bounced around on the platfform. Have a sudden urge to bring one of the rabbits back....... argghh... We saw some hamsters there as well. Poor hamsters. Some hamsters got trapped inside their own food bowl and suffocated to death. Many were also struggling to get themselves out from the deep food bowl. My heart aches when I saw dead hamsters. That reminded me of my boyboy and gerger. *sob* And the poor bunnies too... get trapped in their cages. Many looked so "sian" and depressed. Cruel.
