Bangkok, 14 January 2012

DSC_0321 Last night I was at Bangkok's 'flashlight' market -- so called because it's held at night and shoppers need to provide their own source of light. Unfolding on the sidewalks around the Phlap Phla Chai Intersection, at the edge of Bangkok's Chinatown, it's sort of like an open-air jumble sale, with lots of junk:
