Land of Smiles, Thailand; Money, Root of all evil.

The holiday was coming to an end, it was our final day in Thailand.
Before heading out to the streets for the final time, we took photographs, lots of it. 

Waiting, like a boss (not), for the familia to get ready.

Out we went, by cab, to Chatuchak. It was freakin huge, and the things were freaking cheap too. We didn't have enough time to buy the things that we wanted to, because my dad was rushing us to get back to the hotel. I swear he can be quite a bitch at times, with the amount of times that he had complained of backaches and how we were not going to get a cab back to the hotel in time. And all these while, he kept telling us of how he was tough and so on and so forth. 

Okay, I'm going to show you guys a footage I shot while I was in the market. It's of two HUGE dogs kept in tiny ass cages that were for sale. I wanted to set them free so badly. My heart ached the whole time we were at that section of the market. So many animals were for sale and they were kept, in huge quantities, in small cages. 

Money make people do inhumane stuffs. Like stuffing 25 chinchillas into a cage meant for ONE hamster. It's the first time I've witnessed such things, therefore I was rather appalled. How can anyone bear to keep any creature in such horrible conditions and not feel a thing? My dad was petting the dog in the cage, and a guy stopped him. He said and I quote "Don't touch him, he will get affectionate.". My dad sighed so many times when we were there. Money make people do inhumane stuffs, therefore it's the root of all evil. 

After finishing up our final purchases of the trip, we took a cab, that we got under 3 minutes, back to the hotel. Went down to have lunch at the restaurant.

Coconut drink
Audrey's ... glass noodles.
Mom's tom yum soup
My beef burger
Alice's fish n chips
Pop's steak
Soft shell crab
The only significant thing I bought for myself, a pair of fake shades.
Nothing much happened that day. Oh, plane rides at night can be pretty scary and boring because you can't see anything out the window. So that's pretty much it for the Thailand trip. It was one hell of a holiday. One I will never forget anytime soon.
Was trying to get a shot of the view outside. Instead, I got this shot. Quite artistic I must say.
