  • Chatuchak is a large ground on Phahonyothin Road. You can buy anything ranging from local products including food, clothing, household products, handicrafts, pets, and pit plants.

    Even a non-shopper like me will go shopping at Chatuchak.

    It operates on Saturdays and Sundays. From Wednesday to Fridays, the ground becomes a wholesale for various kinds of plants.

    Chatuchak Weekend Market is closed. You may like to visit MBK or Suan Luam Night Market.

  • A cruise along Chao Phraya River at night is one of the best scenic river cruise.

    Many interesting sights and buildings along Chao Phraya have been lit up at night.
    Several restaurants and hotels along the river provide several cruises to choose from.

    Take the BTS to Taksin Station and take a min walk to the jetty.

  • Both Thais and foreign visitors come to pay their respects at Erawan Shrine.

    People offer colorful flower garlands, lotus, incense and candles.

    If your wish has been granted, you will come back with donations of teak elephants or pay the classical Thai dancers and live orchestra to perform to the gods.

  • The Grand Palace is open every day from 0830 to 1530.

    Be careful of touts working outside the palace area who tell you its closed, and suggest their own guided tour instead.

    Free guided tours in English are available at 10:00, 10:30, 1:30 and 2:00. You can also rent an audio guide for 100 Baht plus.

  • Sakorn Yangkhiawsod (alias "Joe Louis"), who was consecrated National Artist in 1996, has given new birth to Thai Traditional Puppetry.

    Today his troupe is the only one in Thailand that still performs this wonderful and unique kind of puppet play.

  • The Skywalk at Central World opens from 6am to 12 midnight.

    We walk from Chitlom BTS Station all the way to Siam BTS Station.

    This walk will let u visit the whole shopping belt. It is a nice walk because the bridge is wide and spacious and is sheltered.

     hi there. you have some great tips. I'd like to stay at Wendy's guest house but was wondering whether it's near Millennium Hilton in Bangkok or if there are other guesthouses in the Klongsan area. Thanks

     Is Chatuchak Market really closed? What a shame if it is real! I had the best time shopping here while in Bangkok! I was still hoping to go back to Bangkok mainly to shop there. :(
