"Honeymoon" Day II: KH and Will in JJ Land
Sunday was reserved for the Jatujak Weekend Market (since we didn't have enough time on Saturday), where I knew the bulk of my shopping would happen. The ultimate example of variety under "one roof". We braced ourselves for the long day ahead by getting enough sleep, dressing light and bringing enough water (but still most of my fluid ended up as sweat rather than pee). From the hotel, we took the more direct route via Sam Yan MRT station. On the way to the station, we got a glimpse of Wat HuaLamphong. Security is stricter on the MRT with required bag checks and camera bans.
On arrival, we immediately experienced why people flock to JJ every weekend-- a Prada key chain sold for THB20 on the roadside vs. THB120 at Patpong. T'was my 5th trip to JJ and come to think of it, I think I've only managed to cover 40% of the place. It's too big to manoeuver. We were there from 10:30am till 5:00pm with numerous pit stops in between. Had a nice brunch of fried pork neck meat and papaya salad. Fantasticly fragrant and cheap mocha frap and hazelnut coffee at Coffee World. Lunch was ice-blended fruit juices, tom yam, omellette and mango with sticky rice. Also stopped for coconut ice cream and barbequed honey pork ribs (sedap giler!!! I love to crunch on the ribs) before we left. Basically bought 4 t-shirts, 1 polo-t, 1 pair of linen bondage pants, 1 pair of slippers, pork floss rolls and misc. souveniers.
I think we were the last group to leave. Before leaving, SK even camwhored on the grass in JJ Park. We went home and freshened up before dinner at Suan Lum Night Bazaar. Treated ourselves to a 50-minute foot reflexology before dinner from all the shopping at JJ. I admire the massage promoter as he could speak Thai, Mandarin, English and Japanese. Not just the usual marketing spiel, but he could actually make conversation with Japanese businessmen. SK requested a heavy duty treatment, so the masseur was told, "Nak, nak". She treated her like a piece of meat to be tenderized and she enjoyed every minute of it. KH was famished halfway through. The masseur must have pressed some digestive points. Spent about THB400 at the food court ordering minced pork salad, fried pork neck (yes, again!), stir-fried clams and sweet and sour calamari. Didn't buy anything substantial there.
Back at Silom Soi, we watched a show at Tawan Club after much bombardment from the promoters. You can even stand for five seconds. One must move, move, move! They pester, grab, pull, beg... So memeningkang. The show didn't excite me. I was more interested watching the patrons. It was definitely an eye-opener for SK and KCK. I just found the bodies of the performers a little too unnatural. But it was an experience nonetheless. Post-show refreshments were at Kaldi Cafe where we had some azuki tea. KH and I went back to our room after that and did a little show of our own. :P.
