Weekend photos, some Jatujak mkt

On the way to Jatujak weekend market...


Vendors line the streets between Saphan Kwai BTS station and the market - selling amulets, statues, antiques - stamps (actually very cool - the philatelic museum is closeby - definitely on my list!)...

...sprinkled throughout are vendors with more practical things...shoes, movies, food...and fresh juice vendors like these!

They are fantastic "pick-me-ups" - ready to go...just add ice, blend, and veup! poured right back into the cup...!Another "alley" with antiques, etc (and a resident poodle, not pictured)...

I get the biggest kick out out of the shops selling car parts, like this exhaust pipe guy...

These fine cats sell all sorts of funky movie posters ... (one of my favorite pictures of this bunch)

Within Jatujak Market
It's not easy taking photos in this market - crowded, hundreds of alleys, thousands of little shops... and only open on weekends...it's going to be an ongoing project... but here's a few good one's i've got so far:

From the used books section - there are several isles like this - english, thai...there's all sorts of neat books in there, but if you're looking for something more specific, you'd better get friendly with the dealers...!

These old GE fans are so cool! They do run U$40-80, though - which is a bit tough to justify on my current student budget...but rest assured that this girl knows exactly where they are located...!

A bar in the antiques/textiles section...

Sweets being sold at Jatujak market - love the bright colored coconut jellies...

My lunch in one of a hundred places to eat at JJ market - Yum woon sen with seafood - glass noodles (made from mung bean) + vegetables (including raw carrots, cabbage, cilantro, and onions) + squid/shrimp, all marinated in lime/chili/garlic... a favorite dish of mine!

...That's all, folks! Thanks for checking in... miss my pals!
