If you’ve done even the slightest amount of research for your first trip to Bangkok, you would’ve heard about Chatuchak Weekend Market by now.

Renowned for being the go-to tourist attraction in Bangkok, the market houses an impressive 15,000 stalls and 11,505 vendors.

When one hears ‘Bangkok’, one thinks of night markets, cheap shopping, floating markets – to the point where everyone’s Bangkok itinerary looks like a copy-and-paste situation.

One would hardly care to think of going to an animal enclosure, but that’s precisely why it’s worth considering.

After navigating through bustling crowds and jampacking days with shopping expenditures, a change in scenery is necessary—and severely underrated.

Platinum Mall is known for offering a plethora of apparel at wholesale prices, but there’s something for the foodies, too. Here’s what you can expect at Platinum Mall for a day filled with shopping and food.

If you’re planning a trip to Bangkok and intend to visit a floating market, you’ve probably heard of the same few: Damnoen Saduak, Amphawa, Taling Chan, etc.

Floating markets like these are popular tourist attractions and, while more costly, are more expansive.

Khlong Lat Mayom, on the other hand, is more of a local market and comprises 10 floating vendors at the very most.

But what Khlong Lat Mayom floating market lacks in size, it makes up for in its authenticity and richness.
