Off to Chatachok Market,

we soon arrived at the market as it was only about 8 stops on the sky train at Nana where Joe dropped us off, it was then a short walk across the park to where the market was, with a couple of photo opportunities on the way, when you arrive at the market the pavements are lined with fish in bags, this is where fish shops in Bangkok and Pattaya buy their fish in bulk, of course there are lots of stalls for people wanting to buy individual fish,
two trained trees, there were lots of bonsai trees also at the market, typically the main market is there only on Saturdays and Sundays, but the livestock market, fish, birds, dogs, cats, plants etc is there every day, now this is a Saturday joke,
"What do you call a big bonsai? a tree!" must remember not to tell that one when I am sober!
bagging up the new fish,
I also bought another 28 kilos of rock for the aquarium so we are waiting for Joe to arrive with the car,
floating the fish in the tank to equalise the temperature, we made record time getting back, as it was Wednesday it was our night out to see Tom and Juu, so it was a case of get the fish in the tank then out on the town,
we called in to see Tom in Sisterz, also we meet Mick and Mas, Jay and Pricil and John Boy and Be, a great time was had by all, after that it was over to see Juu in Champions then home to 388, when we arrived there was the most lovely smell from these flowers in the front garden, they only smell at night, a really nice home coming!
but, before then a pizza shop on the way home, Diana was starving, well she had only eaten 2 McDonald's today!
Pizza, ah! delicious!
