Real Life Captured #19: Weekend Night Market in Chiang Mai Thailand! Part Two (18 photos)
Hey there my Steemit friends welcome to part two of my Real Life Captured Weekend Night Market in Chiang Mai Thailand Series. It's a lot of fun to go to different countries and walk around the markets. It's true, I really don't buy much, maybe a little something to eat. But then again I'm a budget long term traveler, and there really is no, "home" for me to bring anything back to.
I was with my buddy George from London and met a couple nice people from Brazil and Spain. The Brazilian girl wanted to drink. So she started buying buckets of mojitos. Before she new it she was a little drunk and compulsively buying sushi kitchen ware, chopsticks, a little bowl for the soy sauce, the bamboo thing to roll the sushi in, she bought a couple stuffed animals, and another souvenir.
After each purchase she looked at both George and I, and drunkenly asked "Why did I buy this? I don't even like sushi." I asked when she was going back to Brazil. She said in two months. I asked her how she felt about carrying these items around that she didn't even want in her luggage for another two months. She didn't have much of a response other than drunkenly saying whatever with a disappointed look on her face.
Between alcohol and the unwanted stuff she bought, she was quickly down forty dollars out of no where, she had to lug around a bunch of stuff she didn't want for the next couple months, and deal with a nasty hangover the next day. Very "Un-Travel Pro!"
When I go to markets I enjoy taking in the sights, sounds, smells, food, culture.... If I'll be returning to the states with-in a month to see family and I see something that may make for a good gift and is easy to transport then sure nothing wrong with buying a souvenir at that time. But getting drunk, losing you inhibitions, and compulsively spending your money on things you don't even need or want to make up for your low self esteem. What is that!!!???
I just wanted to share that little true story with my steemit friends, maybe it will shed a little light onto some unnecessary spending habits of your own. You can't "Travel Pro" and have issues like that. It will just bleed you dry and weigh you down. Now let's take a look at all the cool things I enjoyed seeing but really had no use for, at this fun and exciting Night Market in Chiang Mai Thailand!
