Bangkok Things to Do Tips by juliewong

When it comes to shopping, I can think no other than the weekend market in Chatuchak which is opened only on Saturdays and Sundays. Lotsa stuffs to buy from handycrafts, household & decorative items, clothes, hand bags and need i say more..of coz more food! The market is really huge with thousands of stalls, 1 day isn't enough to visit the entire place man! If you really like something, don;t think about going back the same stall, u might not be able to find it again. Hehe. Bought some aroma candles and some wooden chopsticks at a pretty good price after all the efforts in bargaining.

Spent my first day visiting the Grand Palace. Not bad for someone who likes culture.

The floating market is pretty much at the outskirt. Lotsa handicrafts and take a boat ride along the river. You can eat n drink in the boat while watching the buy-sell activities along the river. About 100 baths per person. Remember to ask the boatman to paddle slowly. Some may just give you a 15 min ride instead of the said 1/2 hour ride.

There's also a crocodile farm on our way back to Bangkok if you like these verocious reptiles.
