After a tuk-tuk takes us back to the condo we sit on the balcony for an hour or so enjoying the 72 degree temperature and the sight of the illuminated buildings spread out before us.
Around 6 pm we grab a tuk-tuk to Tha Phae Gate of the Old City. We’re going to give the Sunday Market a second try. Outside the gate are some buskers(street performers) with a fire show. There’s also an entrepreneurial man selling face masks. With the Coronavirus concern I am guessing he will do a good business, even though well over half of the crowd is already masked. The road leading from the gate through the Old City is closed to traffic and is now lined with stalls selling goods. There are also street musicians and food vendors. We pop into a restaurant for dinner and when we emerge there are throngs of people in the street. We try making our way through the crowd for a couple of blocks and then try a side street. The side street winds through an area of hostels, coffee shops and small businesses not willing to pay the higher rents of the main Old City thoroughfares. We come across an eatery with grills out front and a long line of people. There are only a few tables inside, which are packed, and they are doing a fantastic carry-out business. The grilled food looks great - too bad we are already full!
