At the suggestion of Randy, an expat who volunteers at the Free Bird Cafe, I visited Wararot market yesterday and it was amazing. They have anything you could possibly want, and unlike the night bazaar, this market isn't just for tourists.
The market is housed in a couple large warehouse type buildings. There was some semblance of organization with dried foods in the center of one of the buildings and an area for the fish sellers, fabric sellers, etc. The market has everything from party favors to huge fishing nets, shops that sell nothing but string, or lightbulbs, or various religious items like candles and incense.

That market looks like an amazing place. Talk about everything from soup to nuts!
ReplyDeleteDo you bargain in Thailand?
ReplyDeleteDid you buy anything?
In the markets people barter, I haven't really done any bartering though, except for accidentally once when trying to buy half a bunch of bananas and she thought I meant half the price. The fresh fruit is already really cheap, and the only other things I have bought have been things like sun block and conditioner in the grocery store and 7-Eleven where the prices are fixed. I have been very good so far! The only non-consumable products I've bought are my converter and surge protector/adapter.
