Things to do in Bangkok, Thailand: The Best Shopping
Golden palaces, floating markets, majestic porcelain-laid spires…you've never seen a capital city quite like Bangkok. Visit Pratunam or Siam Square for premium shopping, then unwind in the European-style gardens of Dusit. Thon Buri is home to the awesome Wat Arun temple, and over in Phra Nakhon, you’ll find the Wat Pho temple of the Reclining Buddha. Savor mango sticky rice at a food stall before taking in the gilded splendor of the Grand Palace.

We visited there twice last month to play at the famous Harborland indoor playground with our 2 boys, 8 and 11 years old. It is on 3rd floor near Major cineplex and has 3 zones, Harborland playground, Laser Battle laser tag arena and Rollerland skating rink. We played 4 hrs and it’s good because I could go to do some businesses at my bank and pay for nanny service to look for my boys. Lately it has Starbucks Coffee just opened so it’s very nice waiting for my kids here :)

5. Khlong Toei Market
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 238 reviews
One of Bangkok’s best-kept secrets is Khlong Toey, a chaotic, sprawling food market not far from the city’s centre. It’s a travel photographer’s dream, packed with shouting market vendors offering live produce, fresh fruit and vegetables and cooked local dishes. Eye-opening and enthralling, it’s a great insight into how locals live – and to where your moo manow really comes from.

This is one of the many night markets in bangkok city. The attraction is good to be listed for those staying in Silom area as alternative to the famous night markets in Bangkok.

Ate here several times during our stay in Bangkok, it’s well worth looking for the indoor street food stalls, look for lots of tables in rows with blue plastic table cloths, lots of Thai people eat here which is a really good sign. If you are new to a Thai street food don’t be put off by the basic nature of the surroundings; the stalls have pictures and they mainly have the title of the dish in English, but you can just point at the picture of what you fancy, the stall holder will advise if you need rice as a side dish, but you always check. Most of the stall holders we went to spoke enough English to tell you if the dish was hot or not hot. All the stalls we tried were great, but at the end furthest from the main entrance there was a lovely family stall where the lady wears an apron and chefs cap style hat! We went to her stall twice at the start of our two week visit in Thailand, and she remembered us when we returned on our last day, greeting us like old friends! You can sit anywhere so it’s ok to get different food from different stalls, you can take your own water with you from the supermarket, or you can get beer, fresh coconut and some soft drinks from stalls near the entrance of the market! Would highly recommend it!

Not just flowers but every sort of stall you could hope to find. Food, drink, it's famous coconut ice cream!, clothes, bags, accessories, art exhibitions, beauty, fragrance, spice stalls, bars, stationary, everything! Honestly we had such a lovely day trip here. Don't be afraid to barter, it is expected. The coconut ice cream is vegan and is a must! With over 3500 stalls it is truly worth a visit! Don't miss it!
8. Khlong Lat Mayom Floating Market

We visited this floating market from Bangkok on a Saturday. The drive took about 20 minutes using the Grab app (210 - 300 baht one way). The best thing about Grab is that the driver knows exactly where you want to go. We did a 40-minute boat tour on a traditional longtail, 100 baht. Very nice scenery, plants and houses along the water. A few boats selling food. The best thing about this market for us was the actual (dry) market, which was humongous! Few tourists in the deeper layers of the market (just walk along the canal/pier and you’ll get there quickly), lots and lots of wonderful food! Enjoyed the karaoke of Thai people during a fish pedicure. Very very happy we went to this market. Enjoy!
