After visiting the temples at Wat Phrathat Lampang Luang [วัดพระธาตุลำปางหลวง], we went to a nearby market. I bought some grilled bananas, which you often see on the roads. They are a different variety from the ones in Japan, but they are grilled, so they have a slightly sour taste and a fluffy texture.😋I also tried a mysterious food that was recommended to me by a local person, which was peanuts and powdered ingredients wrapped in leaves, but the leaves were sour and the smell lingered in my mouth, so I didn't really recommend it, lol. There was also a knife shop and a pottery shop. A set of six bowls with pictures of chickens was on sale for the bargain price of 100 THB! Plates of various sizes are also sold, and although they are a bit heavy as souvenirs, it was interesting just to look at them. There are also various other items such as basket bags on sale, so I thought it would be a good idea to buy souvenirs here 🛍️ And of course there were lottery tickets, which you see everywhere lol #0 yen travel January 2025 #overseas seasonal places #thailand #thailand
