I woke up after only 4 hours of sleep.

I woke up full of energy today, and I only had like 4 hours of sleep. there I was beaming awake at 7am in the morning. I felt great! for some reason, I decided to go out and explore the chatuchak flea market some. after a quick 5 minute shower, I boarded the underground.

while in transit to chatuchak, the thought occurred to me to check out the "bang sue" underground stop for the possibility of maybe hopping on the #52 bus there to get to thai immigration next week.

so what did I think of bang sue, you ask?

bang sue is one quiet place. there's practically nothing there. 5 minutes of walking around, and it was back on the underground for the chatuchak flea market.

the #52 bus is not on my list of options to get to thai immigration now. I'm now thinking of boarding one of the vans near the chatuchak underground stop. but I have yet to figure out which van to take.

anyway, I roamed around the chatuchak flea market for about an hour. temperature wise, it was ok. but at 8am in the morning, hardly any of the stalls were open.

while shopping at the few stalls that WERE open, I found this thai style folding bed. just what I wanted to get for my rookie friend, luke skywalker, to sleep on. yeah. last minute stuff. got the bed for 500 baht. not sure if it was a good deal or not. but the way I was thinking.. what the hell! 15 bucks. I needed to get something for luke to sleep on. otherwise, it would have been the tile floor.

immediately after buying the bed, I went home. my clock is now showing 10:30am. guess I'll get back to sleep. not really tired. but I know the rest will do me good. I'll need all my energy for later tonight.

nothing else needs to be done today except picking up luke at the airport. ETA is midnight.
