Bangkok is famous for its markets and street food.
Visit the Chatuchak, the largest weekend market in the world. There are over 15,000 stalls selling nearly everything, at cheap prices. It’s only five minutes’ walk from the station. When you visit this market, you can see part of Thai people’s life.
Another interesting type of market is the floating market on the river. Don’t forget to try street food in Bangkok. It’s easy to find food stalls all around Bangkok, serving different Thai dishes. They are really delicious.
