that's at sac market
Bangkok's famous weekend market is now
considered a must visit for anyone
traveling to the city feed for a layover
or a longer stay. The single largest
market in all of Thailand and the
biggest weekend market in the entire
world such attack is home to some 15,000
booths divided into 27 sections which
cover a sprawling 27 acres of land in
operation since 1942 pets attack market
takes its name from the surrounding
neighborhood and though it's become
hugely popular with travelers tourism
has by no means ruin the atmosphere it's
estimated that only 30% of shoppers are
foreigners for mantiques hand crafts and
ceramics - furniture clothing and
accessories you can find just about
everything here and don't even get us
started on the incredible dishes on
offer from the food stalls khao san road
if you're backpacking your way through
Southeast Asia this is where you'll most
likely wind up when you arrive in
Bangkok located in the bond lump uu area
of prana con district it's centrally
located, making it a great starting point
for your daily explorations and if you
want to do any day trips elsewhere in
Thailand this is where most of the buses
leave from due to the abundance of
travel agents as for the street itself
which is only about a quarter mile long
it is jam-packed with food vendor stalls
small shops cafes bars tattoo shops and
more ensuring that you'll never get
bored even when you decide to stay close
to your hotel as appealing as khao san
road is it's worth exploring the larger
neighborhood in which it's located bong
lambu not far from cows on you'll find
beautiful temples, museums, shrines and
other culturally significant attractions
daaamn nuance ought to walk floating
market sunset sac holds the title of
Thailand's biggest market but as damnoen
saduak floating markets popularity
proves size isn't everything though it's
not in Bangkok proper at just over 60
miles southwest of the city in the
damnoen saduak district of rough foodie
province it's an easy day trip and one
that is considered a must visit to many.
Bangkok has a long history of using its
canals for commercial trade with vendors
loading up boats with wares to be sold
along the river's edge or to passing
customers today the practice has become
less central to local trade and instead
more of a novelty for tourists as such
some visitors may be turned off by
damnoen saduak floating market but we
think it still makes for a unique
experience if not as authentic of one as
it once was if you can't get past the
crowds at damnoen south walk consider
checking out some of the smaller
lesser-known floating markets around
Bangkok so as not to miss out altogether
Lumpini Park not equipped with sea legs
don't worry about it
Bangkok has plenty to offer travelers
who prefer to keep their feet firmly
planted on dry land as the most
populated city in Thailand by a long
shot and the most visited city in the
world
Bangkok tends to get overcrowded and
those who are quick to feel
claustrophobic might have a bit of a
hard time if you fit that description or
you simply enjoy a nice green space
Lumpini Park should definitely be added
to your itinerary covering a 142 acre
area of land it's made up of walking
paths a few landmarks and community
buildings plus a picturesque artificial
lake green space is in short supply
within the city limits which only makes
Lumpini Park all the more special keep
your eyes peeled for the local monitor
lizards that live there they are
seriously impressive creatures yawa road
and chinatown thailand undeniably has
its own distinct national identity
cuisine and rich cultural heritage but
it also bears the mark of significant
Chinese influence due in no small part
to the sizable ethnic Chinese population
that lives in Thailand which is the
largest Chinese community found anywhere
in the world outside of China and in
Bangkok they've established a Chinatown
to match the largest Chinatown anywhere
in the world it essentially covers the
entirety of the Sam Ponte Wang district
and yellow dot road is the central
artery of the area both along yellow dot
and throughout the neighborhood you'll
find incredible restaurants and food
hawkers bars shops selling traditional
Chinese wares and a few high-profile
temples rich in history and oozing with
character yellow dot Road and Chinatown
should definitely factor into your
schedule Siam Paragon who's ready for
some shopping Siam Paragon is among the
largest malls in all of Thailand let
alone Bangkok the city is perhaps better
known for the bargains that can be found
in the various markets scattered across
the city but those looking for a more
upmarket shopping experience will find a
lot to smile about at Siam Paragon the
massive mall covers 21 acres of land and
in addition to countless retail and
department stores the complex is also
home to numerous restaurants an
exhibition hall a multiplex a hotel a
concert hall and the world-renowned
Sea Life Bangkok ocean world aquarium so
yeah when you need a little break from
the Sun and eat Siam Paragon is the
place to practice retail therapy
Asya tick the riverfront of course when
it comes to shopping in Bangkok who says
he can't have the best of both worlds
Asya tick the riverfront is an outdoor
market but one that's unlike any other
in the city in that it skews far more
high-end modern and trendy it's like a
shopping mall providing all manner of
upscale amenities and comforts one might
want while somehow managing to maintain
that vibrant and exciting energy that
people love so much about night markets
home to roughly 40 restaurants dozens of
street food vendors entertainment venues
and an impressive 1,500 boutiques
asiatic is a great place to spend an
evening especially given that it
overlooks the chao praya river as yet
tick opens at 5 p.m. every day and can
be reached by car or bus but the most
memorable approach is via the free
cruise shuttle Sun boutique located on
the west bank of the Chao Phraya River
somebody doesn't appear on most tourist
itineraries unless they happen to be
walking through on their way to wat arun
which is technically in the neighboring
Bangkok eye district but to overlook Tom
Bodhi is to rob yourself of the sort of
authentic Bangkok experience that
people often struggle to find when
passing through the city the
neighborhood briefly served as the
country's capital in 1768 and though
it's home to some temples churches and
museums it's largely lacking in major
attractions translation way fewer
tourists and more opportunity to
actually mingle with locals that being
said you will absolutely want to check
out the artists house this institution
housed in a 200 year old wooden home
sits nestled on the edge of the canal
and is among the last of its kind the
building is a sight unto itself but the
real reason to visit is the opportunity
to watch a traditional Thai puppet show
tongue lore have we saved the best for
last it depends on what sort of
experience you're looking to have in
Bangkok tongue lore is among the city's
top contenders for the title of hippest
neighborhood there is good food to be
found all across Bangkok but the
restaurants seeing in Tong lar is on the
cutting edge often crossing the cultural
divide into other cuisines Japanese in
particular that being said there are
still cheap eats a plenty to be had and
then there's the nightlife Tong Lars
perhaps the single most trendy place to
spend a night out in Bangkok whether
you're looking to dance party hard or
lean into a more cosy artisanal cocktail
type of evening the area will oblige
also it probably goes without saying but
Tong Lord doesn't mess around when it
comes to coffee home to artists creators
and those always on the lookout for the
next big thing Tong Laura is definitely
one of Bangkok's most exciting
neighbourhoods check out this other
