vespas and temples

I spent this weekend in and around Bangkok eating, going to markets and temples, and even doing a bit of school work - gasp! Saturday night I visited the Vespa Market, which is a weekly market geared towards Thai hipsters into older scooters. It was actually more of a flea market where you could buy anything from old Vespa parts to retro household items and everything in between. It was actually one of the more interesting markets I've been to in Thailand as the pictures below will hopefully attest to. Sunday I went north to Ayutthaya, the old Thai capital. It's something like a mini-Angkor Wat. Pretty cool, but not really on the same scale as all the temples in Angkor. As for food, yesterday I also discovered the all you can eat, conveyor belt hot pot. You're given a bowl of broth and then little plates of food to cook in the broth pass by in front of you continuously on the conveyor belt. Of course, there's also all the sushi, ice cream, appetizers, fruit and soda you can possibly consume in 80 minutes. All this for $9. Ridiculous.
