There is a market in Bangkok called JJ Market and it is the largest market in Thailand; the amount of "stuff" in one area is astronomical and if you're looking for something obscure, there's an 95% chance you will find it at JJ! I venture to JJ about once a month; the sheer size of it is enough to give even a die-hard shopper a headache. When you go to JJ, you don't go with a particular plan in mind; if you are looking for a particular shop, good luck finding it(you need alot, trust me) and if you see something you like, buy it then and don't say you'll come back later because finding the shop again is going to make you tear your hair out.
I feel like the best(and fun) way to explore JJ is just by turning in whatever direction feels right at the moment and keeping your eyes peeled for what you want and hoping for the best. I went to JJ not once, but twice this weekend! The second time alone and in search of a few things to decorate my room and make it more "homey". I had a few places in mind, and if luck would have it my plan of just wandering worked and I found everything I needed at the shops I was looking for; A beautiful tapestry to brighten up the room, magazines to cut pictures from for my vision board and Nag Champa incense(thanks for the suggestion Ash!).
Jess! Ah I love your photos and I love your blog!! Keep up the awesome photography, and methinks I need to save up for a trip to Thailand! :-)
