Night markets of Bangkok

Monday night, Chris, Jessica, Maly and I ventured to the PatPong night market full of knock-offs and apparently sex shows. As we walked down the crowded isles, we had a small, and sometimes large, laminated paper advertising "Pussy" and "show" listed as the price shoved into our faces. Our sexes did not matter these people were very aggressive, sometimes following us halfway down the isle. The best response of all was when Maly replied "no thank you, I have one" and kept walking. As far as the shopping goes, they had knock offs of all varieties and qualities with very high starting prices, intense bargaining skills were required & usually the vendor won--so we did not buy. I realized that if I ever wanted to start buying knock-offs, NYC Chinatown is as good a place as any.
