I'm exhausted. After almost missing my flight this morning I have been running around all day, first trying to find my hotel...it took me 3 hours from the time I landed until I actually got to the hotel...changing money, asking for the address to the hotel because i forgot to print it out, and finally catching the bus and walking to the hotel with my huge backpack.
After that ordeal, and checking in to the hotel, I went searching for the Weekend Market which was the reason I wanted to come on a Sunday. This market was a monster. It's similar to all the other markets but i'm always in awe of how ginormous they are. I wasn't sure if I was suppose to haggle as low as the markets in China or in Mongkok. I tried but the vendors were sticking their groud. they would only come down 5 baht or something which is cents. I would try the "walkaway" but no dice. They'd just let me walkaway. So i ended up only going down a few bahts for my purchases.
I could've been there for so much longer but I had to hurry back to go to the Muay Thai boxing match I signed up for. It was very interesting EXCEPT the fact that these were 13 year old little thai boys weighing 100 lbs! It wasn't too interesting after the 1st match. But the headliners were actual grown men...maybe 27-30? Now that's more like it. USA vs. Italy. HOT baby! I got to take a photo with the champion. His sidekick was very HOT! That was the highlight of the day and the match. I wished it was 7 matches of grown men kicking the sh*t out of each other instead of she-boys jabbing at one another.
