Oh my god. I am in Thailand and yesterday we spent the most incredible 7 hours (yes, 7 hours) in Chatuchak market. Here must be the place that all the buyers for TopShop, River Island, Miss Selfridge and just about every other shop I love come for their stuff. I saw everything I was wearing for sale at various stalls. The only difference? The leggings I was wearing (TopShop, 15 quid) were being sold at just over a pound. AND - praise the lord, shirts fit me here! That's a whole new fashion vista that has just opened up for me...Clearly we're not just here to shop but yesterday was a fascinating day - at the other end of the scale (we visited just to compare and contrast, you understand) the posh shopping mall in Bangkok's Mayfair equivalent was selling dresses (not as nice as the party dresses we both bought in the market) for 300 quid. There must be some kind of dual economy going on.
And then in the evening we took ourselves to a cool place (according to Time Out anyway) called Bed Supper Club, a VJ bar that appeared to cater for lots of sex tourists. )incidentallz, who are these guys, i feel another blog coming on when I have more credit in the internet cafe...). The point is, I love it here. It is brilliant. Cant wait fo the next two weeks!
