What a nice Sunday evening it was. As usual, the weekly Sunday Night Walking Street was busy with vendors, tourists and locals, all looking for something special to buy. There is something for everyone, and for every taste. Even if it is just a nice long walk after dinner, or for some people watching. There are people from all around the world. It is an international event, with emphasis on local Thai handicrafts and hand made artisan's work.
