Hat's the way to do it

It’s now Sunday and what better way to spend it by walking around Bangkok’s weekend market, once again we decide to avoid the traffic for the cheaper and cooler option, the subway, but first we need to go the hospital just around the corner from the hotel to get Trish’s mosquito bites looked at. We go in and explain the situation to the receptionist and ten minutes later we are seen, Trish gets hooked up to a blood pressure monitor and immediately they look concerned until explains she says it’s usually like that, after a while it drops a bit and the doctor seems less concerned and tells Trish that the bites are not infected and prescribes some creams, the visit cost £40, worth it to get the all clear when your just about to start your travels.  The journey is quite far to the market so elbowing your way onto the train and getting a seat seems to be the only option. Once we arrive at Chatuchak station there’s a sign for the market so you can’t really get lost or you can just follow
