Night bazaar


Enrique has lived in BKK for 9 years now and even learned the language. Actually I think he speaks 7 languages or more (English, Malay, Spanish, Thai, some danish, some german, Chinese and that is not counting in chinese dialects). His wife is a Thai Chinese from a privileged family. They are very genteel and humble. We met up and he drove us to the night bazaar at Suan-Lum ("suan loom") Lumpini. It is like the Chatuchat market but more organised and far nicer. It is open from 4pm every day, unlike Chatuchat which is only for weekends. No heat and no crowds to put up with. Although it is smaller, it easily took up more than 2 hours of our time. There is also a huge beer garden and food centre there. I think in future, I will skip Chatuchat market and just visit Suan Lum market instead.
