Monomad Challenge – Chatuchak Market, Bangkok

Thursday, 2022-09-01

My entry this time is about shopping at Chatuchak Weekend Market in Bangkok, Thailand. In November 2019, just before the pandemic, my wife and I traveled to Bangkok to meet our daughter, who lives in Toronto. She flew to Bangkok with her colleagues from work for a 1-week international cosmetics exhibition. We all stayed in the same hotel with an upgraded room. The only time we could get together was during breakfast and at night before going to bed.

While she was busy with the exhibition from morning to night, my wife and I explored the city of Bangkok. Here are some photos we took while visiting the clothing section of one of the biggest weekend markets in Bangkok, Chatuchak market.

Hopefully we all can go back. I see it's getting busy again. My husband used to have a bar in Pattaya and lived there for 6 years.

Ahhh... that's cool! Pattaya was always busy, bustling, and a favorite tourist destination. This pandemic has caused many businesses to close down and killed tourism. Bali has also suffered a similar fate but slowly recovering.

The tiredness must have been from the heat and the end of our shopping spree. When you shop in a non-air-conditioned market in any South East Asia city, it will always be hot, humid, and crowded with people. It takes a lot of energy just to maneuver your way thru the crowds especially carrying your wife's shopping bags.🤣

Yes, I know that and of course it is one of the things that is very common in the markets in Southeast Asia.

It's a very long journey in 2019. It's a very interesting thing to be able to buy a vacation all the way to Thailand and there you have taken some really beautiful pictures.

Yes, it was 3 years ago when we traveled to Thailand to meet our daughter. The last time we met her was in 2016, so it was a good opportunity to meet her again in 2019 and at the same time had our holiday.

My daughter lives in Toronto, Canada. She works in a cosmetic company in Canada, and went to Thailand for 1-week only, to attend an international cosmetic exhibition. She is planning to come to Indonesia to visit us later this year.

What a wonderful daughter who can work abroad. That's how he got to work in Canada. Of course it is great to be able to work in countries like Canada which have very high currency values. Are there more vacancies for us, so that we can work abroad?🙂

Hehehe. This is me who is still young, if there is a vacancy please let me know. Because in the village employment opportunities are greatly reduced, and now it is very difficult to find work.🙂
