The Worrorot Market

Our guide Poon directed us to this place and we were enthralled. It was not a tourist place at all. We ended up returning several times.
Here's my post from our first visit:

There were clothes and shoes and luggage and cosmetics and semi-familiar stuff, then there were food stands with the most bizarre assortment you can imagine, including French fried meal worms all neatly packaged. There were big bowls of green glop in numerous stalls that seemed to be selling well. A vendor warned Joyce away "very spicy!!!". Not that Joyce was really tempted I think. There were stalls selling crazy toys and supplies for spirit houses (I bought some Hell Bank Notes in 50,000 denomination). Most everything was really cheap and we were encouraged to barter if the price was too high. We were some of the only farang in the place and really felt like we were in a foreign land!

I bought several tie dye shirts here which I ended up wearing to shreds on the trip, and a little canvas camera bag with a shoulder strap, for the video camera. It became practically attatched to my hip! But best of all, Eden got her special Thai shoes here. They had clear heels with little colored balls inside, and silvery metal flowers on the toes. I think that finally won her over to the idea of travel.
