BANGKOK - DAY 6

Chatuchak Day 2!!!
Back to the Honey Grilled Pork stall I fell in love with. We just had to have it again today. The queues were longer this time but we didn't have to wait very long.
The close-up I promised...this tastes much better than it looks!
We managed to find a place to sit down to enjoy our Honey Grilled pork with glutinous rice. I got two forks from one of the vendors and with that and a satay stick, managed to devour this yummy meal! Truly satisfying!
We didn't stay long at Chatuchak and still had time to head down to Siam Paragon after dumping our bags in the hotel room and showering.
At the plaza between Siam Paragon Mall and Siam Center, there was a fair called "Being Charitable Together". The event had 160 booths for riot affected entrepreneurs and a charity music concert.
The crowd under the tent was unbelievable. We went in for a look and were trapped!
There were many 'good looking' people at the booths and we gathered they're Thai stars doing their bit for charity. We didn't know who they were of course but they looked like stars!

Like father, like daughter.
Dinner at Cafe De Tu, one of the eateries at Siam Paragon Food Hall. The variety of cakes and desserts available was mouth watering! Sadly, we didn't have any!
Nationalistic posters and billboards are all over town.
The numerous "We Love Siam" Tshirts on sale to bring Thais together for their "Together We Can" movement, in an effort to revive National spirit after the deadly unrest experienced just two weeks ago.
