Bangkok on Day 2

The excitement of the day before caused us to sleep late plus one hour later due to the time difference. So, we had to crawl out of bed to make it for breakfast. Our next destination was to the famous Chatuchak weekend market, a short distance from Mo Chit station. It is believed to be the world's largest flea market with over 15000 booths over 27 acres.

Took the sky train from Mo Chit to Siam station for the interchange to Saphan Taksin for a river cruise. Lunch was at one of the boat stops. Made our way to this huge impressive shopping mall, the Siam Paragon. There was a massive flower show, one we have not seen before. Was just too tired to walk more, so it was back to the hotel for rest. Dinner at Big C and 6.30 pm was pick up time for the famous Calypso Ladyboy show. Due to the traffic, we just made it in time, whew! Dazzling show! Reminded dad of the paper dolls from Philippines, ha ha.

After the show, we opted for the sky train to Sala Daeng station and visited the famous Patpong shopping and fringe 'red light' district. The things they sell and the 'things' you see. A real eye opener for us :) Almost 11pm then, so it back to the hotel.
