Chiang Mai Night Market: what do you want?

I am not a shopper, especially not for souvenirs. But the Chiang Mai night market is so full of beautiful objects for so very cheap that I cannot help but be tempted.

Shipping out of Chiang Mai isn't too expensive, so if you'd like anything here's your chance to ask! There's a ton a stuff here that I normally see in import stores, plus 'fakes' of major brands of purses, jewelry (Tiffany & co!) and even make up brushes. Tiny elephant pendants, beaded bracelets, and pashmina scarfs are everywhere! The pashminas in particular were priced at 100b and that's before bargaining.... A pashmina for $3.33. Ridiculous! I have pictures I'll post from last night and tonight I will go shopping for any requests. Sunday nights here are famous and best of all.

In the meantime... I will be in a Thai cooking class!

    I would love a tiny elephant pendant! Let me know how much I owe you and how I can get you the money. Roses to international souvenirs. :)

    Hope your cooking class is fun. Can't wait to see a pic of the resulting dish!

    Safe travels,
    Michelle
