Bangkok -Chatachack Market

                                                         Bangkok Skytrain

November 6, 2010

     Set off on Skytrain for the humongus Chattachack market. Skytrain was packed with fellow shoppers. With Nancy Chandlers map in hand, we headed for the the ethnic clothing and jewelry sections. We found the shops that we visited last year, bit searched everywhere for our favorite enclosed fabric and textile locale .
     The cleanliness of Bangkok impresses me. The Skytrain is immaculate, no garbage or papers anywhere. No food is allowed on the cars.The streets are kept so clean.
     The people are gentle and keep calm about activities sround them. Everywhere we go someone is there to help us - crossing the street, with directions, giving us their place in line. I never feel that I have to be watching for someone to take advantage of me.
     Yesterday we visited The Center For Creative Design located off the Skytrain stop near us. Unique exhibit of creative designs throughout th 20th Century. Included housewares, transportation, clothing, tools, etc.
