100_6112 If you are on the look out for a motorbike or just have an interest in them, why not pop along to the second hand motorbike and car market, held every Sunday, not far off the super highway, Chiang Mai.
Just take the main turn off to Phrao and you will find the market on the left just a few metres after the first main intersection.
100_6115The motorbike section is mostly motorcys, automatic and semi-automatic, 2 stroke and 4 stroke.

But there are usually a good few Choppers of various makes and sizes as well as the occasional racing or off road bike. Prices range from around 5000 baht, ( usually 2 stroke or in need of repair 4 stroke), to 30,000 baht for the newer motorcys, and between 30,000 and 55,000 for a Chopper, depending on make and condition.

Around the outside of the market area are many small shops and Thai cafes.

Highly recommended is the Burmese cafe, close to the motorcys, Mee Mee, which is more used to farang customers.

100_6114 A little more expensive than the other outlets but it has a nice ambience and the quality and portions of the food are very good.

We’ve had a busy few days here in the Brick Road Cafe, thanks to all who have called in, hope you enjoyed your food and time here.

Here’s hoping we’re at the end of the rains now and heading into a pleasant cool season.

The family visit is going well and we’ll be out and about doing a few homemade tours over the next couple of days so check back in to see how we get on and maybe get some possible inspiration for your own travels if you are heading this way.

If you’re wondering about the heading,(John Wayne), just check the photo out, from yesterdays market run.

Family visit continued…Sunday swimming and walking street market

With the Sunday Market ahead of us we decided to stay close to home and took a 15 minute stroll down Ratchadamnoen to Thapae Gate and round the corner to The Top North Hotel where you can get a day ticket to use their pool for 100 baht.

We managed to have a good time, with the kids spending a lot of time in the pool and us adults either in with them or lounging around the pool side.

Jamie made friends with a boy called Tony , and Sophie looked like she wanted to stay in the water all day.
