Since arriving in Thailand I wanted to visit the Jatajuk Market in Bangkok so on Sunday Prang and I took a van into Bangkok to visit the Market. I was quite suprised at how clean and organised the market was. I had heard many stories about how crowded and hot the market is although I actually found it quite ok.
I spent the day buying gifts and some new clothes and Prang's help haggling for a better price made everything much cheaper than the set price.
The stall holders have a price for foreigners and a price for Thais. As I was shopping with Prang everything was at Thai prices for me. To get back to Chachoengsao Prang and I caught the train which is a much more pleasent ride than the vans with drivers who seem to compete against each other as to who can drive the quickest. Driving 160 kilometres an hour weaving in and out of trucks on the freeway is not the most comfortable ride.
