Chatuchak Market Part II, Bangkok

Who knew shopping could be THIS tiring. Coupled with Bangkok's scorching hot weather, outdoor shopping was such a challenge - the minute you walk out of the shower, just wanna head back in again! But shopping at Chatuchak took it to the next level - it was especially hot because there were not many trees providing shades and even if you shop along the shaded stalls the humidity is just suffocating.

A huge tip to surviving Chatuchak would be to constantly hydrate yourself - drink lots of water and juice! I was amazed at how much liquid I consumed within that 5 hours at Chatuchak. 
Today's entry is focused on one of the stalls we coincidentally found when we were desperate for some water and a resting area. (Don't even ask me where it is, I have absolutely no idea - I only remember it being opposite stalls selling flowers and some accessories).  We were so thankful that they had a couple of empty seats and weren't as busy as the other stalls during lunchtime. 
We ordered their famous Fish Ball noodles in clear yet flavorsome broth and Thailand's famous Mango sticky rice! Super happy that we stumbled upon this place - their fish balls were so fresh and they tasted so yummy! I don't usually fancy fish balls because they have a weird texture and usually tastes 'fake' but this was really good. Their mango sticky rice was equally awesome - Thailand has the sweetest mangoes and they are so cheap! We probably only spend about AUD 4 for that meal - AMAZING!!
