After spending a fair amount of money today buying the finest souvenirs Thailand has to offer, we decided to showcase some of the most incredible and outrageous things we've seen.
The mall that is walking distance from our residence. 7 stories tall, top 2 floors are only restaurants and food courts. Lowest floor is a grocery store. The Thai version of Macy's anchors the place. And next year the Hilton will be finished...on top of the current 7 stories.
How would you like this to span your wall?
Made entirely of nuts and bolts.
Life-sized.
A gold souvenir warehouse.
MBK Superstore in Bangkok.
If these cell phones are good enough for Buddhist monks to buy, they're definitely worth looking in to.
We've been to our fair share of street markets, but the largest one by far was the Chatuchak Weekend Market in Bangkok, where we spent 8 hours of pure craziness. There are over 8000 unique stalls and shops that span miles, and this doesn't include the hundreds of food stands that scatter everywhere. If you can endure the sticky heat and hordes of people, it is truly paradise. You can literally purchase anything on the streets here.
I actually looked into shipping costs for one of these.
There was a sign that forbid pictures to be taken in this shop, which naturally made me want to take if even more.
Custom made LED signs?
Only a few of the gorgeous paintings you can buy.
Trendy Thai mannequins
Sushi off the streets. Safe? We decided not to find out.
One of the few food items on the street that actually had labels. Usually, labels make items more appealing. In this case, it had the opposite effect.
Yes, that is cat skin. I'm only hoping I haven't accidentally eaten the meat yet.
