What to do and see in Riverside, Thailand: The Best Flea & Street Markets
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.

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!

Soi Rambuttri is more like what Khao San was decades ago: lots cool shops, eating joints, guest houses and relaxed drinking spots. Throw in street vendors and massage and it has it all. For now, at least, authorities haven't ruined it with over regulation and "renovation".

More of a wholesale market than a shopping experience, the fresh flower market has become a tourist attraction thanks to its sheer size, beauty and exoticism.

Colorful, busy, different and very interesting!! Tons of beautiful flowers and greens, offerings mixed with food, vegetables, fruits, herbs and spices in many many narrow fields where you need to dribble people, motorcycles, bikes and men carrying their goods in small carts.

From early morrning until night time,this pier is really nice with good view of wat Arun and passing by ferry. You can take hop on and hop off ferrey from this pier to the other attractions. Not only variety of restaurants such as Thai authentic restaurant to nice coffee shops but also handicrafts stall and Thai snack stall around this mall. Its location not far from the Grand palace so it is a good place to sip a cup of coffee before going on to the other interesting places.

The Amulet Market is close to the Palace. Strongly encourage a visit. Dozens and dozens of stalls selling amulets and Buddha’s and other Buddhist religious items. Here is a real “local” market that many residents in Bangkok visit to buy for their own personal lives. It is hidden, so you MUST look for it. Give yourself at least 30 - 45 minutes to wander the hidden little streets.

This market is located on the other side of the river to the Maharaj ferry terminal at the Maharaj shopping complex. You catch the river ferry which are the rectangle ferry's with no sides. The ferry cost is 15 cents. The market kicks off around 8.00am and goes till after dark. This market is both wet and dry and locals buy there breakfast, lunch and dinner here. Clothing,shoes,fruit,vegetables, you name it its here.Everything a Bangkok local would want including banks. Very small laneways with 100's of shops, also 7/11 minimart in the middle of it selling beers. 3 longnecks for $7.50. No wine sales. Plenty of coffee too, $2.00 cappuccino with real cows milk not condensed. Busy on weekends with Asian tourists. While you are there and if you have a strong stomach, visit the Anatomical Museum in the Sirriraj Hospital across the road from the market. I wont go into what you will see, but lets say you might want to visit on an empty stomach. Incredible and educational.
