The Warorot Day Market here in Chiang Mai is less for tourists and more for Thai people to buy things. In this part of town, they sell a little bit of everything, from flowers to food to kitchen/cooking supplies to clothes to materials to fresh meat to seafood to whatever you want. To an American who is used to getting everything nicely prepackaged in cellophane, it was a wonderful explosion of sights, sounds, and smells.
Finding our way around was a bit challenging, but the
Nancy Chandler map of Chiang Mai, which
Jacen is looking at here, was
most helpful.
I'm not sure we'll shop here often--it's on the other side of town--but it's definitely a place to go when we need to buy something. Like the 4 bouquets of flowers I bought Ann for our anniversary; total cost: $3. :-)

I checked out the picture of Jacen looking at the map. I would like to thank him for representing the World-renowned Carolina Tar Heels at the market that day. Roy would be proud.
A wonderful explosion of sights, smells and sounds.....you hit the nail on the head with that one! When I'm hungry, I just go to the market, I quickly loose my appetite. It is a new weight loss plan I've developed.
Well, some parts were worse than others, but overall it wasn't bad. We bought coconut ice cream and some dried durian to eat.
