CHATUCHAK WEEKEND MARKET IN BANGKOK IS THE BEST FLEA MARKET ON EARTH, FAMOUS FOR CLOTHES, ACCESSORIES, SOUVENIRS, HANDICRAFTS, POTTERY, VINTAGE GARMENTS, BAGS, SHOES AND ALMOST ANYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF! FROM THE OFF-BEAT AND QUIRKY TO THE STAID AND ORDINARY, FROM A FEW RINGGIT TO A FEW HUNDRED. YET I CAME ACROSS AMAZING STUFF THAT COST AN ARM AND LEG---LIKE THIS REAL, STUFFED, ACTUAL POLAR BEAR FOR 1 MILLION BAHT! OR RM 130,000 WHICH INCLUDES SHIPPING TO YOUR HOUSE IN MALAYSIA! NOW THAT'S A TALKING POINT LIKE NO OTHER AND IT'S CHEAPER THAN A HERMES CROCODILE HANDBAG WHICH IS DOUBLE THE PRICE AND DOES NOT RAISE ANY EYEBROW AS YOUR JEALOUS FRIENDS MIGHT THINK YOU BOUGHT THE BIRKIN FROM CHATUCHAK FROM THE VERY SAME SHOP THAT SELLS THIS POLAR BEAR! YES THE SHOP ALSO SELLS BIRKIN BAGS!!!! CHATUCHAK MARKET NEVER FAILS TO THRILL AND TITILLATE ME AND I HAVE BEEN THERE MAYBE NEAR 100 TIMES!
