The museum happens to be located right next to a seven story mall next to an athletic field so we decided to experience Tai culture in a modern day setting.
The athletic field was covered with a huge tent and inside was a market selling everything from food to clothes. Chinese New Year is Tuesday and the food stalls were gearing up for some major celebration! It smelled so delicious! They were selling every thing from fried grubs, crickets, and beetles to delicious looking soups, fried everything and fresh fruits. Every stall was artistically arranged.
We went into the mall and resisted buying knock off Versace leather and Dolce and Gabana t-shirts while a group of new years celebraters paraded a long dragon down the escalator. As we were leaving a group was performing Chinese New Years dances in front of the entrance to the mall. Very fun to watch.
We met Bonnye at a rooftop bar to watch a beautiful sunset and returned home to get ready for dinner. The dinner deserves its own blog.
