It boasts active night life and many adventure-seekers'attractions. If you do not have time for all this, perhaps you should try shopping in the following popular shopping destinations:
1.Chatuchak Market
With over 200,000 visitors a day, this is the market of markets. A popular saying in Thailand is that 'if it is not sold in Chatuchak, then it is not available in Thailand'.

Among the things you can buy there include collectibles, foods, religious artifacts, clothing, household items and many more. It is located on Kamphaeng Phet 2 Road, Chatuchak, Bangkok.
