goodbye chatuchak

Last Saturday, I said goodbye to Chatuchak. In all my trips here, I always linger in the home section where a variety of ceramics, wooden decor, and silk table runners are found. This time, I bought a fitting souvenir - an 8-inch wooden Sawasdee Girl. I've always admired the craftsmanship in Thai woodwork. but have delayed buying any home items for lack of a home to decorate (hehehe!). Best of all, it only cost me 350 Baht for 2 pieces! After a few more stops, I had too much to carry and was ready to call it a day. I will miss the hustle and bustle of Chatuchak, and everything in it except the pet section!
