We always forget something at home when leaving on a trip so that gives us an opportunity to explore the local shopping. We were told to try MBK, a giant indoor market. It's easy to get lost in MBK. It contains thousands of tiny stalls configured into an endless maze on 8 levels. More than 100,000 people visit the centre every day. Electronics, fashion and food are everywhere.

We had breakfast in the food court where they had every kind of food on the planet. You load up a special food credit card with some Bahts and have at it. We checked out the arcade and saw school kids practising their drumming and dancing skills. Corinne had a massage, I scoured the camera and computer booths. We also saw a Muay Tai boxing match being set up outside.
