weirdly tastes like it's better for you than normal ice cream i'm sure it's not but it
tastes like it
today is day two in bangkok yesterday we got in on the overnight bus and we didn't really
do too much we only ventured out from the hotel to go get some delicious gyoza from
chinatown we are staying here on khao san road which is one of the main roads for the
tourists today we are venturing a little bit further out than that and going to check out
the Chatuchak market which is the biggest in the world
we were going to catch the bus here it was heaps cheap to get the bus but as we left
our hotel we had a bunch of drivers come over and offer us what they were willing to charge
to get us here after a little bit of bartering we've got it down to 100 baht so khao san
road to Chatuchak market for 100 baht pretty good you can't really go wrong we've only
been here for like a couple of minutes but the first thing you realize is how massive
this market is we're inside one of the undercover parts now and literally everywhere you look
there's alleyways that shoot off to all these different stalls we haven't found the food
section yet but we're trying to find it now
so we got what we thought were mozzerella sticks but she ended up getting this mozzarella
out coating it in what looked like dough then some powder stuff before deep frying it taking
it out putting more powder on it and finally tomato sauce so i have no idea what this is
delicious
those massive mozzarella sticks were good but we should have got one to share because
now we're both filling up very very quick but we've got so much more to eat
so about seventy years ago the prime minister of thailand enacted a policy that said every
province in Thailand had to have its own market the people in bangkok really ran with that
because they ended up creating not only the biggest market in thailand but the biggest
one in the world there is 15 000 stalls here and it covers about 35 acres
i saw these on our first trip around it is literally just meatballs on a stick we filled
up a lot earlier so we're just having this to share so we can keep eating more and more
these ones are pork
not heaps of flavor but the outside is really crispy and the inside is quite soft
it's starting to get dark now and a lot of the clothes shop seems to be shutting but
all of the food's still going hot so we got this chicken strip i don't really know what
flavor it is
it's cold if that was hot it would be amazing but it's cold so it's kind of disappointing
so to finish the night off we got the number one recommended thing on all of the blog posts
when you look up Chatuchak night market which is coconut ice cream it's like the top of
the coconut is what it's served in they scooped it out and then they asked what toppings i
want sweet corn was an option for some reason but i just said whatever's normal so they
put some peanuts on top
that is so fresh it's ridiculous exactly the way you should end your night at Chatuchak
night market you might need to order your own weirdly tastes like it's better for you
than normal ice cream i'm sure it's not but it tastes like it
totally understand why it's the largest market in the world it's taken us about six hours
we've been here all day uh to traverse the 35 acres that it is it just keeps going you
turn down one alleyway and then that has five alleyways off of it all full of markets and
stalls and people it's just crazy it was so much fun to explore but now we're i think
we're both ready for bed definitely ready yeah so it's just going to be home and then
sleep probably
