Trip to the old market

There is an old market about a half hour away from Suphan Buri that we checked out this weekend.
It is mostly food so I didn't take that many pictures of the market itself, but here are some random shots (click to enlarge);

Nui in front of the historical Mayors mansion house of the village. This house is now a museum with some really cool antique furniture, portraits, etc. When important political figures would pass through the village they would stay in the guest quarters here.

Flooring imported from Italy for the mayor 100 years ago.




As is with most of the surrounding villages in the SuphanBuri area, there was a large river running through the center of town. This area of Thailand gets a lot of rainfall and rice is a huge agricultural industry here.




Apichat hired me as Thailand's skateboarding coach and was this outings mastermind . . . he is always the one taking group pictures, so I thought he deserved a photo too.




Outside the market was a shrine for one of the past Kings of Thailand.
Good times as usual.
