What to do and see in Phahurat (Little India), Thailand: The Best Things to do
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.

1. Wat Pho Thai Traditional Massage School

I have taken courses at Wat Pho School of massage 3 times over the past 12 years. If you are looking for a school to train you in this ancient art I highly recommend Wat Pho. The teachers are excellent, the area around the school is steeped in the massage traditions and it's a great modality to add to your repertoire if you are a massage therapist. The school has several campuses around Thailand, some which offer room and board as part of the tuition. This is a further step to really taking on what Thai massage means. Their massage products are available for purchase and developed at a lab they have a part in. All excellent products.

Our tickets were free when we paid to go into the Grand Palace so we went the following day. We arrived early and enjoyed a drink in the foyer. The theatre was large so plenty of seats and the show was typical Thai dancing. I really enjoyed it and it was something different. I recommend you go if you have the time

I first heard of this shop a couple years ago, and kept meaning to check it out, and finally did. Reviews and discussion were split on whether it was a fascinating place that's well worth visiting, an old department store version of time travel, or if wasn't viable as a shopping outlet due to carrying really dated stock, in an environment that made people feel uncomfortable. Now I get it; it's both. I liked it, hence the 5 dots. Most of the stock wouldn't be of interest to people, very old clothes, some old personal goods, old sporting goods and musical instruments (really old--I suppose some might be worth money related to that), and so on. I wanted to take pictures, to capture the theme there, but signs say not to, and reviews mention that it's not welcomed. I saw a few modern items there, mixed in with really dated stock, which would make for an option if a visitor wanted to take part in a retail theme (new soccer balls, new dumbells). Then I saw what I would have been looking for, if I'd even considered that it existed: traditional Thai silk versions of Barbie clothes. Probably not actually silk, but that's hardly the point given that Barbie is going to be wearing it. They sold the outfits separately (for 100 baht, $3, and absolute steal) or with a doll wearing an outfit who is essentially an Asian version of Barbie (for 280 baht, less than $10, when the outfit itself is surely worth that, if there even was a retail for such a thing). Barbie costs around $10 to $15, wearing plain clothes; I just bought those for Christmas around a month ago. As for the Thai clothes version, forget about finding those anywhere else; it's not going to happen. My 5 year old daughter was thrilled. Except that she didn't love the Rama 5 era style Thai "pants" version as much, so in dressing Elsa and Anna of course Anna got stuck wearing that. She liked it so much I swung back through to buy more before posting this. I checked and it is stock they refresh regularly, so if word gets out others will probably buy out all they have, and then they'll get it back in. As for the staff seeming bored and giving you strange looks, sure, they did that. They warmed up when I spoke Thai to them but others won't have that option. Go anyway; you'll never see anything like this place again. "Old Siam" is a very old themed "mall" across the street that stayed viable; stop there too to actually buy Thai snack foods, modern clothes, or the modern version of what Barbie was wearing for adults. I bought a Thai silk jacket there for my wedding 11 years ago, the only time I've been in that building before this week.
