night market
bangkok | thailand | travelled in 2012 | posted on apr 08, 2012
night markets can be found in almost all south east asian cities - including bangkok. some are popular with tourists, especially package tourists and party-backpackers, and are therefore fully geared to their "needs".
clothes, sunglasses, watches, slippers, knick-knacks and kitsch - of course, all of them cheap fakes. and of course masses of t-shirts printed with the always same moronic motifs and sayings. who actually buys this junk? well, if you walk through the city with open eyes, this question will be answered.
and in some areas, like patpong, nana plaza and soi cowboy, the night market there are also offers for another kind of bangkok-tourists: pussy and "ping pong show" (no, it has nothing to do with table tennis).
