Sunday feels like temperatures were like driving through an oven on a motorcycle.

Recovering from some recent health issues, the extended drive into the country was a gutsy move.

The friendly welcome made it all worthwhile Album Here

ITU nightlife blossoms

ITU market is quickly gaining in popularity. 

Opening hours seem to vary, some places open around 5 pm while others open a bit later. 

The more popular places are filled to capacity by 7 pm. Not a problem, you can sit anywhere and order from from everywhere. Observed a group occupying two tables ordering food from at least four different kitchens. Some meals start as little as 40 baht.  One or two businesses offer WIFI

 I'll explore a few more places over the near future and see if I can decipher the menus
