Bangkok Off the Beaten Path Tips by stamporama

When you visit the Wat Po and Grand Palace (which can be done in an entire afternoon), walk along the tree-shaded sidewalk between the 2 places, specifically the street -- forgot the name-- nearest the Chao Phraya river. Locals have a sort of flea market (I'm not sure if they do this on Sundays only) where they sell used goods, but brand-new items are also available. Very few tourists are around (probably being a weekend, they'd rather be at Chatuchak) so you might see and buy something not usually found in stores.

Their wares are just laid on the sidewalk for you to browse. No price tags for used items but even if there are, one could still try haggling.
