Thailand Day 15

We got up early on New Years Day. Not so nice after late night and lots of beer but we wanted to get back to Bangkok in time to do some shopping. We caught the 1000 ferry and then  our driver picked us up for the 4 hour journey back to Bangkok. We were in the same hotel as before. After checking in and getting our final briefing from John we hailed a Taxi meter to take us back to Chatuchak market.

We explored the market even further than last time. There are over 6000 vendors and I think it would take several days to see every thing. We had mission to find a wood carved budda head. After looking at a number of stalls we manged to find what we wanted. The size we chose would fit exactly in our big suitcase for the journey home.

From the market we headed to Khao San Road which is the main western tourist night spot area. We picked up the last few items we wanted to buy and then had dinner.

After dinner we took our final Tuk Tuk journey back to the hotel for early night as the next day was going to be a very early start.
