day 3-bkk

So our 3rd day...but the night before, we changed to another hotel room
since this hotel boasts 36 individually designed rooms by a different local artist.

our second room with the huge balcony
its sunday today so most shops are closed.
we found this cool outdoor cafe i think its called cafe model..its along the road to our hotel ...and a few blocks from this cafe, is a arab restaurant..nice briyani.






















back to the hotel..here are some of the other hotel rooms at mystic hotel










DAY 2- TALAD ROD FAI ( I hail you!)

so finally here we are...after much talk with our friend jamil back in amcorp who continuosly ravessss about this latest IN place to be in bangkok, we are at TALAD ROD FAI (the train market). Its located at Kampangpetch Road (actually its quite a walk from chatuchak market) Opens Sat-Sun from 4pm til 1am.



the only halal stall..i think...hey this place is damn huge!!lol






















these crackers are suprisingly sticky sweet





























kewpie dolls! havent seen these in ages!

wan standing next to 'MATER' from CARS hehe


ohhh mamat ni legend..look for him at the corner of the bazaar
he's a mean kung fu teh tarik machine hehehe


phew....this place i can describe as an open air night bazaar selling mostly vintage and antique stuffs....a heaven for pickers and curios collectors.
We should have been here years ago as the prices back then was way cheaper than they are now.
This place actually is set beside an abandoned railroad track and station. And inside some of these abandoned stations are cafes and bistros.
Right in the middle is the night bazaar where collectibles, fashion accessories, toys, bicycles u name it are all spread on the ground for all to see.
