Shopping

I love shopping in Thailand because almost everything (except gas price @ $7/gal) in Thailand is cheap (^^). The sandals I got today were 299THB ($9) and the dress I am thinking to wear at beach was 250 THB ($7.5) after discounts which my Japanese friend negotiated. It was 370THB originally. I almost never had the experience of negotiating price, but I have to study this in Thailand..... Even though stuff is cheap in Thailand, since our trip has just started and will last 6 months, we have to save money as much as possible. Otherwise I have no reason at all to limit my shopping everyday. I would bring an extra suitcase with all shopped stuff back to Seattle with me.....so far no regrets of having decided to take a long trip....

Green and pink small waterproof bags (35 THB each) are preparation of Songkran festival. It starts April 13 and lasts between 3 and 10 days depending on where you are. Thai people celebrate this festival with water. Everyone gets soaking wet, so we have to protect camera, cell phone and so on.
