I haven't been so hot since...

Bangkok's weekend market Chatuchuck has to be the mother of all markets. If you've seen an Asian market just visualize one that is exceptionally large. If you haven't try to picture 5 foot wide walks between stalls, many of which are 8'X10', covered by a tin roof, selling everything from silk to pets, that covers the area of a county fairground.
Chatuchuck is certainly an interesting part of the circus. I don't think I've been so hot since I shoveled out a steel grain bin under an August sun. To avoid the highest heat I went first thing in the morning and left before the heat peaked.
