Weekend in Bangkok

Bangkok just keeps getting better and better!!!!! So after our long trip here we finally got settled and used to the time change, we.  So on saturday Mook picked us up from our hotel and took us to Platinum! Which has the most amazing clothes... but they are all just one size... super small... so a lot of stuff does not fit our "american" bodies haha.  After shopping she took us by our school, Chulalongkorn University!!! It is an amazing school.  We are part of the BBA program, the business program.


After shopping Mook drove us to my cousins house, Taryn!!!! She is living here in bangkok and working for a fashion company!!! It is so awesome and comforting having a family member here!! Her and her boyfriend Collin were nice enough to let us crash at their really nice condo saturday night since me and Dani didnt have a place to stay.  They took us out to a tourist place called Koh San Road.  It was sooo cool. It is kinda just like a random ally with bars, vendors, and people offering you tickets to a "ping pong" show... its not the game.  But we are definitely going back there cause it was soo awesome!!!


Night Time
I stole this from google but this is day time so everyone can see it!

My cousin Taryn with us!!!!!!


At the weekend market!
After a thai beer we went back to their condo and all slept till noon!!!! Well dani and I woke up at 6:30am wide awake, so we went swimming in their pool, showered and went back to bed falling asleep around 8:30am.  It was awesome being able to fall back asleep! Once we were all up they took us to the outdoor market.  Imagine the portland saturday market... only on 27 acres!!!! And lots and lost of shopping!!!!!!!! It was crazy we were there for 4 hours and only made it to a tiny section! I got a pair of fake ray bans but the fake stuff here is the most real fake stuff i have ever seen!!!! It is awesome! I got a floor length skirt to wear when we go to temples (cause you have to be covered up) and a fedora, never thought i would own one but hats are nice for the sun!
