Wat Mai's Hidden Charm?

That's interesting! Wat Mai's area can feel surprisingly quiet compared to other parts of @Bangkok. It's not necessarily unusual; many older neighborhoods have a slower pace. Peak hours might be less busy there than in more commercial zones. You might have better luck finding community events by chatting with the school staff – they’re likely to know about local happenings and festivals. Also, keep an eye out for posters in Thai; a lot of community info is shared that way. Don't be afraid to just wander around a bit more, though – even quiet areas have their own rhythms.

Probably some kind of promotional item or a limited edition thing they ran out of. MaxValu sometimes does weird stuff like that. I've seen entire sections devoted to, like, durian-flavored everything for a week, then poof, it's gone. Maybe it was a special holiday cookie or something they only had a tiny batch of? Or maybe a manager misplaced the price tags and just gave up. Who knows with those guys.
