00:00:03.113 --> 00:00:03.363
Good day,

00:00:03.363 --> 99:59:59.999
The name is Dang.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(I) live in Krung Thep (Bangkok)

NOTE Paragraph

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(I) am working as a normal seller.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and (I) have a shop in Siam area.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So, (I) have to go back and forth between

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(my) home and Siam.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(I) am a genuine city person.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Born here and grew up here,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Therefore, (I) have a lifestyle like a capital born person.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(I) have 1 car

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but (I) haven’t used it all that much

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
because the traffic is very bad

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
As (you) know, Bangkok has far too many cars

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that there’s almost no place for walking

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and the air quality is not so good.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But, it is not all that bad.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Because in here, there are a lot of things

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
hidden from the majority of people.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Such as, the Weekend market

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Everyone goes there on Saturday and Sunday

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
for relaxing, finding delicious food

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Buying clothes

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Maybe second hand one

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
from a pile of old clothes

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Trying an unusual dishes like

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Maybe a curry with rice

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
cooked by the real locals

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Using fresh ingredients, freshly prepare

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Maybe (you) might find unusual flavors ice cream

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
like, an ice cream (which served) in coconut shell,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
with coconut in (there),

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
also with different toppings sprinkle on.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and also, (there) are ...

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
many different accessories

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
from Chiang mai, from Phuket

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
From Sa Mui, and from all over Thailand.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
All gathered in Chatuchak (Weekend Market)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If (you) have been there

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(I) guarantee that [you would say]

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
1 day is not enough

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(You) have to come back again

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
again and again in order to search

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
for things (you) truly want.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Because there are always new stuffs to buy.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
On the weekends, aside from going to the weekend market

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you could visit one of the rivers.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Personally, I love taking the boat

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
from one stop to the next along the river.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They’re close together and cheap.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We call it a “boat bus.”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Take off, punch the ticket once and ride leisurely,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
taking pictures along the way.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
[You] can keep yourself alive easily

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
because if you’re hungry then you can stop

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and get off to look for food wherever it is that you are.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and get off to look for food wherever it is that you are.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
There’s going to be general, every day food, not food that’s sold to tourists.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
These are places on the side of the street selling all sorts of things like Bahmi noodles or sweets.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Or, you could go meet some locals making uncommon things to sell.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is a lifestyle where most of the time on my days off

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But, if it’s a day where I’m not off,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I’ll absolutely be at home working.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
That’s what's good about your office being at your home.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You don’t have to leave that much.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Yeah, I can leave and go to places around where I live,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but I still think about/miss the weekend market every week.
