Sankamphaeng Street Market

Prawech and Tawm (the family which normally hosts BYU interns in Thailand but couldn't this year because of their full house) took Alex and I to the little street market in Sankamphaeng. They close the street off from traffic flow and set up shop kinda like a rinok in Russia. You can walk around and check out the gear...haggle prices, etc.

Here are some pictures from the little performance graced by Hill Tribe Natives (?). The girl dressed up in a traditional butterfly dancing outfit while the men (?...I'm not sure who's under the animal costume) dressed as dragon, camel, animal-ish creatures. :) It was fun to watch.
After watching the performance for a couple of minutes, Prawech and Alex decided to treat themselves to foot massages. The lady who massaged Alex's feet had three thumbs! It was SO stinkin' awesome! I wanted to take a picture but figured it would be rude! :(

Wow, giving massages seems like an ideal job for someone with an extra thumb...interesting. I'm glad you made it there ok, and since you didn't blog about the horrible misfortunes that took place on the way there...I'm guessing it went ok. :) I'm looking forward to following your adventures!
