The endgame began with our return to Bangkok. After 5 months of Asian travel we felt savvy enough to brave 4 days in this visceral metropolis. |

The flower market seemed a safe enough place to begin. |

John was our tour guide for a culinary tour from the North of Thailand. It took a fair amount of Singha beer to wash down this chili laiden deliciousness. |

Enough culture - let's get down to some serious shopping at the Weekend Market, apparently the largest market on the planet. |

They were happy to sell, we were happy to buy. Can you say "win win"? |

A perfect opportunity for some where's waldo? |

Tough enough? |
