RE: MarketFriday - initiated by @dswigle - Chatuchak Weekend Market !!
Sweet Jesus!!! Are you trying to kill me, dragging me through this entire flower market? I didn't have a clue that these were not real until you actually told me.
I kid you not.
I happen to love seeing the sky littered with those beautiful umbrellas. Aren't they such a happy look? I am not sure where they started, although I want to say Italy, but, see them all over and each and every time, I give a sigh. They are beautiful. I tried relooking at those orchids... Nope. They still look real.
I am thinking that I and 200,000 people would be more than I would care to be shopping with! That seems like an opening day crowd for the soccer playoffs! Holy Moly! Every weekend? There are 15,000 stalls in this market? Be real!!! Wow! Thailand is truly the land of many, isn't it? I would never be able to leave if I went there now. And have I told you before that you are spoiled beyond recognition? Hello, are the ferns made also from fabric?
Ohhhhhh! You didn't say there was crystal though. Now that may bring me to my knees alone, without the flowers. I do love crystal and there seems to be a very nice selection of it here. Yes, please!
And I do love the Buddha shops they have in Thailand! All the different kinds and made of different materials. I am in awe. I truly am. A little something for everyone! For sure!
I can see where the Halloween costume will come from! LOL What a great selection! Well, sorry I got to you so late, it was nice this weekend and I spent a great deal of time avoiding responsibility! LOL
So, thank you so much for such a wonderful post! I truly enjoyed reading through it as always! Please tell me your secret how you are able to post so much!!! I struggle!!!!!
I owe you a bigger tip for waiting so long!!

You know i thought the same as you i had to touch and feel them to convince myself done so perfectly and the ferns also.
The umbrella thing i have always looked at it as a very romantic thing and i would assume Italy to been such a romantic country but something makes me think it started in the Asian countries but i could be wrong.
It is a huge crowd but you know because it's such a large area your not bumper to bumper you can pull up at stalls without been pushed on and with the crystals there is a lot more of that to come what i have covered in this post doesn't even scratch the surface you really honestly wouldn't leave this place if you came here guarantee that you would be filling a couple ship containers before you left so much to see honestly.
I think when i look at the photos i have taken that day i can't resist i need to share them with everyone no good putting them in the archive and then forgotten about you got to appreciate the time and effort taking them photos and share them with the world :)
Thank you for the awesome Tip and your beautiful comment always enjoy reading your beautiful words and my turn to apologize this time for the late reply it was my birthday weekend and the boys and girls got me pretty hammered i am just getting back to normal now but it was a awesome night :)
