2nd day in Bangkok

We decided to have a good sleep and enjoyed the breakfast at hotel before we start our 2nd day journey. We planned to go the Temple of Emerald Buddha and Grand Palace. The Taxi driver told us that the place only open at 11am so we changed plan to Chatuchak Market. Chatuchak Market only available on Saturday and Sunday and it’s a place that you can’t miss when you go to Thailand. Here you can get a lot of stuff like t-shirt, jersey, dress, Batik cloth, shoe, bag, wallet, and you even can get pet, plant and so on.




You also can find some local foods here. We had our lunch at one of the stall; the Tom Yum Kong here is superb. These stall even published on the local newspaper.




After a tiring walk, we backed to our hotel.
At night, our tour guide bring us for dinner at a local restaurant. However, there is no Tom Yam Soup as we expected, we were served with Chinese cuisine.


After that, we went to the Baiyoke Night Market, this market is small and the variety of stuff also less compare to Suan Lam Night Market. We only stopped by here about 45 minutes.

Then we went to the next destination – Patpong Street. Patpong Street also has a lot of stalls selling souvenir, jersey, scarf, tie and etc. This street are more popular with the night show where they have Tiger Show (= Thai Girl Show), Ping Pong Show and other.





We had a foot massage that only cost 200baht per hour.


Before back to hotel, we had supper at the roadside Café, in the meantime celebrating my friend birthday.
This is the street seller selling souvenir and handicraft to the tourist whose having a drink at the cafe along the roadside. Can you see the baby girl? It's almost 1 o'clock but she still bringing her baby wherever she go just to earn money for living.

My pineapple juice.

End of the day 2 journey.
