So one of my American friends here in Chiang Mai called this morning as we were driving around, and she told me about her latest discovery in the city. Right by the grocery store near our neighborhood is a makeshift tent selling export clothes for super cheap. Since we were in the area, we detoured there to have a look-see. And we got some great deals!

We bought a number of men’s and women’s shirts with brands like Gap, Old Navy, Dockers, and J Crew, and they all ranged from $2-$4. I even found one Old Navy maternity shirt – granted, it’s an XXL, so I look like a 6-year-old playing dress-up, but I figured at the very end of my pregnancy, I’ll want something comfy for sleeping. That should work.

Kabob got several button-down dress shirts that look just delectable on him. It’s been a looooong time since I’ve seen him in anything other than a t-shirt and shorts or a polo and shorts. Fun eye-candy for me. Hee hee.

We’re not exactly sure why the clothes were so cheap, or why they were even there, but most items said “made in Cambodia,” so maybe they fell out of the boat nearby as they left for the States. Who knows.

But it made my day.
