SUNDAY MARKET!!! Yes I’m yelling that😂 July 15th
Slow day for some of us! Rachael and Anna were up, had eaten breakfast and waiting for their pick up for cooking class by 8:20am. Troy and I were not nearly as quick moving however. I was up shortly after 6:25 am but I did get myself down to breakfast until closer to 8:30. That coffee on the balcony was just too tempting today.
Troy and I did walk over to my favourite Thai iced coffee vendor by the silver palace. Saw the cutest little black terrier (that desperately needed a fur cut). Got a 20 baht coffee! And Troy got a Thai iced tea.
Lazed around until about 12:45 then Troy and I decided to go check on the cooking class girls.
We found them right as they finished their session at 2pm and had apparently eaten the spoils of their work. Not a plate to be licked. Hmmmmmm
So given that we were very hungry, we left the girls to catch their ride back to hotel and we wing off in search of mango sticky rice and KaoSoi Gai! No problem. We got the mango sticky rice from the temple that Riam works at and the KaoSoi from BeeBeez. (Tee said it’s the next best after hers-which we can’t get in the city anymore bcz they moved out to MaeRim). We will have access to Tee’s cooking on Tuesday when we go out to their place and eat at Pansawan.
Troy reports it was really good! I had PadSeeEwe gai. Welcome to ChiangMai. It was 140 baht ($4.75 usd) for both dishes! Yum and Woot!
It was 2:45 now and a plan needed to be formed for the rest of the day. We decided to go back to hotel and maybe rest/siesta to prepare mentally and physically for the Sunday Market. Since we had all eaten a lot of food ‘mid afternoonish’, we figured we would head over to market around 6pm, have a street massage, eat market food after that, then realistically dismiss Troy from duty and the girls and I would carry on with the SHOPPING!! Plan went without a hitch. There are some happy vendors, Our bags will he a little heavier and some waffles were eaten! Go team!!!
PS. I wrote this whole blog Post, but for the last couple lines, while getting my footie 😍😏
