The world's largest Weekend Market, this is literally HEAVEN for Shopaholics. You get everything here, and I've been here several times.
- You need an entire day, there are more than 15,000 Stalls
- Wear light clothes
- Bargain without fail
- Don't be hasty in buying at the first Stall
- You may need to visit multiple times to cover the entire Market

 Lots of Food Stalls and Fruit Stalls to keep you refreshed.

My personal favorite. This is my personal heaven for shopping.
- Pretty much fixed prices, but you can bargain for 10-20 THB
- Don't be hasty in buying at the first Stall
- You may need to visit multiple times to cover the entire Market

 Top floor has a Food Court, where you get Vegetarian Food Items as well.

My new favorite. This was new to me as of my 5^th Thailand Trip. Shopped a lot. Visited multiple times during the trip, and my very first H&M purchase was from the Store in this Mall.

Must visit. Attached to BTS Asok.

 Basement floor has a Food Court, where you get Vegetarian Food Items as well. Be sure to specify VEGETARIAN & NO EGG.

Another favorite place to shop. You can spend your entire day in this Shopping Center.
- Don't forget to bargain.
- Don't be hasty in buying at the first Stall.
- I watched the Crawl movie here during my 5^th Thailand Trip.

 Top floor has a Food Court, where you get Vegetarian Food Items as well.

Pantip Plaza is a place for electronic gadgets. It's a huge huge mall. You will find almost everything related to computers, cameras, laptops, and other electronics in it.

A condensed version of the Chatuchak Market, Pratunam Market is a huge shopping area. You get a huge variety of things here as well. Just don't forget to bargain, and keep an eagle eye on the quality of the stuff you buy.

This was my discovery during my 5^th Bangkok Trip. Pretty much new at that time, I had fun shopping for a lot of things. I'm sure it is even more flourished now.

It is close to the Chatuchak Market, but I don't think it is feasible to cover both on the same day.

Your Bangkok Trip is incomplete without a visit to this amazing temple. Take a boat ride and climb a few hundred easy stairs. You'll surely have fun.

- Do not get into TukTuk Scams.

 Carry your own Water Bottle. Food is sparsely available around.

Another MUST VISIT place (by boat), especially at nightfall. It is just across the river to Wat Pho. You can plan to visit the both of them together.

Visiting Wat Pho has become easy, because of the new MRT Station Sanam Chai. It is just across the river to Wat Arun. You can plan to visit the both of them together.

Me and my mother enjoyed visiting here on the last day of our first Bangkok Trip.
