Get ready to shopping trip
Samurai Pork Burger, must do list in Thailand
Visit Taling Chan floating market
Taling Chan Floating Market is a weekend market about 14 km west of
central Bangkok. Also called Khlong Lad Mayom Floating Market, it’s far
more genuine than most floating markets near the Thai capital. You can
enjoy an excellent seafood lunch sitting on the floor with the locals,
ride a longtail boat around the nearby klongs (canals), as well as do a bit of shopping and a lot of food tasting.

Wat Arun is our next visit destination
Wat Arun, the most iconic temple of Bangkok, is located on the Thonburi
side of the Chao Phraya River, almost opposite to the Grand Palace and
Wat Pho. Built during the 17th century, its full name of 'Wat Arun
Ratchawararam Ratchawaramahawihan' is rather hard to remember, so it's
often called the 'Temple of the Dawn'. The distinctive shape of Wat Arun
consists of a central prang (a Khmer-style tower) surrounded
by 4 smaller towers, all encrusted with faience from plates and
potteries. The stairs to reach the balcony on the main tower are quite
steep, usually easier to climb up than to walk down, but the view from
up there is really worth it.
Wat Saket in Bangkok Old Town is an Ayutthaya-era shrine with a gleaming
gold chedi in Bangkok. Also called the Golden Mount, it occupies an
80-metre-tall manmade hill that was built during the reign of King Rama
III. The temple welcomes worshippers year-round, though it’s busiest
during its annual temple fair in November, during Loy Krathong. The
temple grounds have mature trees and typical Buddhist structures such as
a main prayer hall, ordination hall and library.
This is only 1st day of shopping
Need to arrange nicely for the luggage
Chatuchak Weekend Market in Bangkok (locally known as JJ Market) was
once only popular among wholesalers and traders, but it has now reached
landmark status as a must-visit place for visitors to the Thai capital.
The market’s sheer size and diverse collections of merchandise will
bring any seasoned shoppers to their knees – it’s where you can
literally ‘shop till you drop’.
Chatuchak is home to more than 8,000 market stalls that are spread
over more than 14 hectares. On a typical weekend, more than 200,000
visitors come here to sift through the goods on offer. Veteran shoppers
would agree that just about everything is on sale here, although not all
at the best bargain rates. But if you have one weekend in Bangkok,
squeeze in a day trip to Chatuchak Weekend Market and you won’t be
disappointed.
