Don Wai MarketDon Wai MarketDon Wai Market

very neat market
We have spent the last few days in and around Bangkok, having a great time. Went to the Grand Palace, which was really interesting. Very hot on that day. We also went to a market called don wai, where we saw no other tourists and everyone laughed at us, most likely because we are white. The Thai people have been very very nice to us, once we recieved a free starfruit. The market was really neat and we ate some really weird and exotic food like starfruit and fish balls, as well as another unknown fruit. Just hangin around, leaving Bangkok soon by train to go to a small town named Hua Hin, as we slowly make our way down to the beach islands. Weather is really hot here, hope its not too cold back home! Feel free to comment or send a message! Take Care.
Trev and Andrew.

Glad the weather is nice and hot there because it's freezing here...just had lots of snow here and it was minus 10 (which is cold here for North Vancouver). Anyways, this blog is really good.
