Among the largest open-air markets in the world, Chatuchak (also referred to as 'Jatujak' or simply 'JJ Market') seems to unite everything buyable, from used vintage sneakers to baby squirrels. Plan to spend a full day here, as there’s plenty to see, do and buy. But come early, ideally around 10am, to beat the crowds and the heat. There is an information centre and bank with ATMs and foreign-exchange booths at the Chatuchak Park Office, near the northern end of the market’s Soi 1, Soi 2 and Soi 3.
Schematic maps and toilets are located throughout the market.
Friday nights from around 8pm to midnight, several vendors, largely those selling clothing, accessories and food, open up shop in Chatuchak. There are a few vendors on weekday mornings, and a daily vegetable, plant and flower market opposite the market’s southern side. One section of the latter, known as the Or Tor Kor Market, sells fantastically gargantuan fruit and seafood, and has a decent food court as well.
Once you’re deep in the bowels of Chatuchak, it will seem like there is no order and no escape, but the market is arranged into relatively coherent sections. Use the clock tower as a handy landmark.
Antiques, Handicrafts & Souvenirs
Section 1 is the place to go for bronze religious statues, old LPs and other random antiques with religious motifs. Arts and crafts, such as musical instruments and hill-tribe items, can be found in Sections 25 and 26. Baan Sin Thai sells a mixture of kŏhn masks and old-school Thai toys, all of which make fun souvenirs, and Kitcharoen Dountri specialises in Thai musical instruments, including flutes, whistles, drums and CDs of classical Thai music. Other quirky gifts include the lifelike plastic Thai fruit and vegetables at Marché, or their scaled-down miniature counterparts nearby at Papachu.
For less utilitarian goods, Section 7 is a virtual open-air gallery – we particularly liked Pariwat A-nantachina for Bangkok-themed murals. Several shops in Section 10, including Tuptim Shop, sell new and antique Burmese lacquerware. Meng features a dusty mishmash of quirky antiques from both Thailand and Myanmar.
Clothing & Accessories
Clothing dominates most of Chatuchak, starting in Section 8 and continuing through the even-numbered sections to 24. Sections 5 and 6 deal in used clothing for every Thai youth subculture, from punks to cowboys, while Soi 7, where it transects Sections 12 and 14, is heavy on the more underground hip-hop and skate fashions. Somewhat more sophisticated independent labels can be found in Sections 2 and 3, while tourist-sized clothes and textiles are in Sections 8 and 10.
For accessories, several shops in Sections 24 and 26, such as Orange Karen Silver, specialise in chunky silver jewellery and semiprecious uncut stones.
Eating & Drinking
Lots of Thai-style eating and snacking will stave off Chatuchak rage (cranky behaviour brought on by dehydration or hunger), and numerous food stalls set up shop between Sections 6 and 8. Long-standing standouts include Foontalop, an incredibly popular Isan restaurant; Café Ice, a Western-Thai fusion joint that does good, if overpriced, pàt tai and tasty fruit shakes; Toh-Plue, which does all the Thai standards; and Saman Islam, a Thai-Muslim restaurant that serves a tasty chicken biryani. Viva 8 features a DJ and a chef making huge platters of paella. And as evening draws near, down a beer at Viva’s, a cafe-bar that features live music.
Housewares & Decor
The western edge of the market, particularly Sections 8 to 26, specialises in all manner of housewares, from cheap plastic buckets to expensive brass woks. This area is a particularly good place to stock up on inexpensive Thai ceramics, ranging from celadon to the traditional rooster-themed bowls from Lampang.
PL Bronze has a huge variety of stainless-steel flatware, and Ton-Tan deals in coconut- and sugar-palm-derived plates, bowls and other utensils.
Those looking to spice up the house should stop by Spice Boom, were you can find dried herbs and spices for both consumption and decoration. Other notable olfactory indulgences include the handmade soaps, lotions, salts and scrubs at D-narn, and the fragrant perfumes and essential oils at AnyaDharu Scent Library.
Pets
Possibly the most fun you’ll ever have window-shopping will be petting puppies and cuddling kittens in Sections 13 and 15. Soi 9 of the former features several shops that deal solely in clothing for pets. It’s also worth noting that this section has, in the past, been associated with the sale of illegal wildlife, although much of this trade has been driven underground.
Plants & Gardening
The interior perimeter of Sections 2 to 4 feature a huge variety of potted plants, flowers, herbs, fruits, and the accessories needed to maintain them. Many of these shops are also open on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

WAT ARUN – BEST PLACE TO WATCH SUNSET IN BANGKOK
You’ll never find it difficult to locate a temple in Bangkok, but Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn) is one of the most spectacular, and it should be on your list of things to see if you are ever in Bangkok. Located on the west side of the bustling Chao Phraya River, it sits majestically above its low level surroundings.
Visitors can climb to the top of the main prang. It’s something I highly recommend and the views at the top make it all worthwhile. If you have any form of mobility issues, these are not the stairs for you. They are so steep that they are almost vertical, and you need to have at least one hand free to steady yourself along the way.
Making it to the top offers views along the river in both directions and across to the eastern bank.

It’s best to visit this temple in the late afternoon. It’s usually a little quieter, and it then allows you enough time to experience the area in the daylight, before heading across the river to the eastern side in order to find a great place to set yourself up in time for watching the sun set behind the temple.

Wat Pho (the Temple of the Reclining Buddha), or Wat Phra Chetuphon, is right behind the Temple of the Emerald Buddha – it’s a must-see for any first-time visitor to Bangkok. As one of the largest temple complexes in the city, it’s famed for its giant reclining Buddha that is 46 metres long, covered in gold leaf.
It’s an easy 10-minute walk between here and the Grand Palace, and we recommend coming to Wat Pho second because even though the golden Buddha here is just as popular, many people don’t take the time to wander around the rest of the complex, making for a more relaxing experience. Wat Pho is also a great place to get a traditional Thai massage. It’s often considered the leading school of massage in Thailand, so you really are in good hands here.
The Reclining Buddha at Wat Pho
The highlight for most people visiting Wat Pho is the Reclining Buddha. The figures here are impressive: 15 metres tall, 46 metres long, so large that it feels like it’s been squeezed into the building. The Buddha's feet are 5 metres long and exquisitely decorated in mother-of-pearl illustrations of auspicious laksanas (characteristics) of the Buddha. The number 108 is significant, referring to the 108 positive actions and symbols that helped lead Buddha to perfection.
You’ll need to take your shoes off to enter, and if you’d like a little good luck, we recommend purchasing a bowl of coins at the entrance of the hall which you can drop in the 108 bronze bowls which line the length of the walls. Dropping the small pennies in makes a nice ringing sound and even if your wishes don’t come true, the money goes towards helping the monks renovate and preserve Wat Pho. As this is a revered image, all visitors must wear appropriate clothing – no exposed shoulders or skin above the knee.

The wholesale area is concentrated near the river.

An excellent stroll through an endless maze of flower stalls of colours, shapes and sizes, orchids, roses, аnd оther flowers аre аn aromatic sight ranging in price expensive bouquets fоr thousands оf baht to the most beautifully created roses fоr јust 50 baht.
Best tіme tо visit іs around 03:00 when boats аnd trucks arrive wіth flowers frоm surrounding provinces. Іf thаt іs too late (or too early), visit frоm 20:00 onwards when the market іs beautifully illuminated аnd very lively

The National Museum under the Fine Arts Department aimed to establish the National Art Gallery, since the National Museum and the Silpakorn University have organized the Annual National Exhibitions of Art and the national art competitions every each year since 1949, while using the previous location of Ministry of Transportation (Currently is the location of Thai National Theatre) as the place for exhibitions. However, there was no place to store the award winning artworks at that time. Later, several private sectors actively setup their own art galleries, i.e. Student Christian Center Bangkok at Hua Chang Bridge, Bangkok Art and Culture Centre at Makkasan and the Suan Pak Kad Palace museum, Mek Payap Art Gallery and the Silp Bhirasri Memorial museum at Attakarnprasit alley, the German Goethe-Institute in Bangkok at Phra Athit road.
Endeavour of The Fine Arts Department in finding the place to setup the National Art Gallery, finally with the great support from Mr. Sawad Uthaisri, former director of The Treasury Department, he bestowed the old deserted Mint as the place for establishing the National Art Gallery on 19 April 1974, to commemorate the 100 anniversary of the Fine Arts Department of Thailand.

Phra Sumen Fort & Mahakan Fort
18th Century forts built to protect the city
Today only two forts remain out of 14 that were built more than two centuries ago. Phra Sumen Fort is one of the remaining forts that was built during the end of the 18th century to protect Bangkok from possible invasions.
When King Buddha Yodfa Chulaloke (Rama I) ascended the throne as the first ruler of the Chakri dynasty in 1782, he decided to establish Bangkok as the new capital of the Kingdom. The capital was founded on the Eastern side of the Chao Phraya river in the Rattanakosin area.
Because only a few years before that, in 1767, the Burmese had completely destroyed the old capital of Ayutthaya, the King had a number of fortifications built and canals dug out to protect Bangkok. Phra Sumen Fort was built in 1782 as one of 14 forts of which only two remain today, the other one being Mahakan fort.
The King also had city walls built and a number of canals dug out that acted as a moat surrounding the city. With the Chao Phraya river protecting Rattanakosin in the West, the area was virtually surrounded by water, hence the name Rattanakosin Island.

The octagonal white colored structure of Phra Sumen fort is three floors high and contains a number of rooms where weapons and ammunition were stored. At two levels canons were deployed, which are still there and there is an observation tower overlooking the area.
In 1982, when the foundation of the city of Bangkok 200 years earlier was celebrated, the Phra Sumen Fort was renovated by the Fine Arts Department. It is said that old photographs of the fort taken during the reign of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) were used as a guide during the renovation.
On the top floor of the fort you will find a museum where items found in the fort during the renovation are on display. Phra Sumen fort, also called Phra Sumeru fort is today a national monument.
Between the fort and the Chao Phraya river lies Santichaiprakarn Park. From here you will have great views of the river with the impressive modern Rama VIII bridge in the distance. If you walk towards Phra Pinklao bridge to the South you will soon get to Phra Arthit Pier, from where you can take a Chao Phraya river express boat and enjoy city views from the river. After dark the fort is lit up by spotlights making it look particularly attractive.
The second fort remaining from the original 14 is Mahakan fort. It is located right next to the Golden Mount or Wat Saket temple. In 1785 the Burmese invaded Siam (the old name of Thailand) again, but their armies never reached Bangkok and the forts did not see war.

Thanon Phra AthitPhra Sumen Fort & Mahakan Fort
18th Century forts built to protect the city
Today only two forts remain out of 14 that were built more than two centuries ago. Phra Sumen Fort is one of the remaining forts that was built during the end of the 18th century to protect Bangkok from possible invasions.
When King Buddha Yodfa Chulaloke (Rama I) ascended the throne as the first ruler of the Chakri dynasty in 1782, he decided to establish Bangkok as the new capital of the Kingdom. The capital was founded on the Eastern side of the Chao Phraya river in the Rattanakosin area.
Because only a few years before that, in 1767, the Burmese had completely destroyed the old capital of Ayutthaya, the King had a number of fortifications built and canals dug out to protect Bangkok. Phra Sumen Fort was built in 1782 as one of 14 forts of which only two remain today, the other one being Mahakan fort.
The King also had city walls built and a number of canals dug out that acted as a moat surrounding the city. With the Chao Phraya river protecting Rattanakosin in the West, the area was virtually surrounded by water, hence the name Rattanakosin Island.

Food scene
Good seafood place in town, opened for more than 20 years. Great seafood sauce. Limited parking. Reasonable pricing and suitable for family dining. The grilled prawns are yummy. Overall a deliciously fresh seafood restaurant. They have icy cold beers and fresh coconuts. Not too expensive, but there are a few pricey items based on their market value (River prawns).

The Must-Try Dishes at "Jay Fai"
Roadside hawker Supinya Junsuta, better known as Jay Fai, found fame for receiving a Michelin star two years in a row, but the plucky 73-year-old still personally cooks every dish at her Bangkok stall.
Long before Jay Fai gained international fame for becoming Bangkok’s first street food stall to be awarded a Michelin star in 2018, the eatery was already revered by local foodies for its wok-fried seafood dishes, meticulously turned out by sole chef and owner, 73-year-old Supinya Junsuta.
Junsuta, nicknamed Jay Fai for which the restaurant is named after, oversees the roaring charcoal-fired stoves daily, clad in her trademark black apron, beanie and ski goggles to protect her eyes from long hours in front of the intense heat. She started her roadside eatery in the 1980s and made a name for herself by procuring very high-quality seafood and transforming the ingredients into soulful dishes kissed with the smoky breath of her woks.
Since receiving a Michelin star in the inaugural MICHELIN Guide Bangkok 2018 and again in 2019, a lot has changed for the humble eatery now under the glare of the international media spotlight. Jay Fai has been catapulted onto the world stage, participating in the 6th MAD Symposium in Copenhagen in 2018 at the behest of Noma’s Rene Redzepi and working with Thai Airways to create menus for its First and Business class passengers.
With the influx of foreign guests, Jay Fai’s English-speaking daughter Yuwadee Junsuta has had to leave her career to work full-time at the restaurant. There, she manages the crowds, takes the orders and helps her mother finish the stall’s famed crab omelette in a smaller wok to fluffy golden perfection.
These are the four dishes recommended by Yuwadee Junsuta to try the next time you’re visiting Jay Fai.
1. Crab Omelette
It’s a real treat to watch Jay Fai cook this dish over the charcoal stove as she gently bathes the egg and crab meat in hot oil, rolling them together into a cylinder with practiced motion. These days, Jay Fai’s famous kai jeaw poo is finished in a smaller wok of hot oil by her daughter and arrives at the table like a golden-brown burrito. Cutting into the fluffy pillow reveals succulent, generous chunks of sweet lump crab, held together by just enough egg.
2. Drunken Noodle
Jay Fai’s phad kee mao talay is a moreish dish of flat rice noodles stir-fried with a hot and spicy sauce, basil leaves, fresh chili, crisp hearts of coconut palm and fresh seafood like huge whole prawns, tender rings of squid and cuttlefish. A smoky char clings on to the sticky, chewy noodles, a nod to Jay Fai’s prowess at the charcoal-fired stoves.
3. Tom Yum Soup
Spicy, tart and fragrant with bruised galangal, kaffir lime leaves and lemongrass, this tom yum goong features shelled jumbo prawns, chunks of fish, squid and mushrooms swimming in a deceptively clear, heady broth.
4. Crab Yellow Curry
Jay Fai’s rendition of poo phad phong karee features the same generous hunks of deshelled lump crab meat as those in her famed crab omelette, stir-fried with eggs and onions in a fragrant and creamy yellow curry sauce.

A place you will not be disappointed with the quality of the food. We were initially a bit sceptical about what to expect due to the large tourist presence. We were seated within about 30 minutes of lining up outside and we're asked to order immediately. The food came a short while later and was probably the best pad Thai we had eaten so far in Thailand. The presentation was amazing for something that only cost 120 baht per dish, would definitely recommend going despite the wait outside.
It's a long queue, but the wait was totally worth it! Pad Thai is my favorite noodle, and this restaurant has made Pad Thai as the best noodle I’ve ever tasted in my life, seriously. The restaurant ambience is great too. But not all the waiters can speak and listen to English properly.

Shopping
Siam Paragon is one of the most popular shopping malls in Bangkok which houses a host of international high-end fashion brands, Southeast Asia’s largest aquarium, a 16-screen Cineplex, and a comprehensive selection of world cuisine. Located prominently in front of the Siam BTS Skytrain station – the interchange of the 2 BTS lines – it’s considered by many to be the centre of Bangkok.
Considering the mall contains over 250 shops, the layout is logical and fairly compact, certainly when compared to the sprawling CentralWorld mall nearby. Even so, this mall provides mainly luxury items for well-heeled Thais and international visitors with cash to splurge. If you’re looking for something extra-special then Siam Paragon is definitely the place to find it.

EmQuartier Bangkok covers around 600,000 sq m of retail space in downtown Bangkok, with 1,000 local and international stores. This luxury shopping mall is located in Phrom Phong, one of the biggest retail hubs in the city. It stands directly opposite Emporium Shopping Mall, on Sukhumvit Road.
Expect to find a long list of designer brands at the new EmQuartier Bangkok, as well as a distinctly futuristic design with dozens of restaurants, offices, event halls, and a cool atrium garden with a manmade waterfall.
Shopping at EmQuartier Bangkok leans towards the more luxurious side of Bangkok's extensive mall scene, with designers like Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Chanel, Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, Dior, Jimmy Choo, Valentino and Fendi located on the ground or 2nd floor. As you head up to the higher levels, expect a mix of more affordable high street brands such as Zara, Uniqlo, H&M, Gap and Super Dry, as well as a good selection of homegrown brands.
The mall is split up into 3 zones, one of which is actually in a separate building connected by several walkways. The zones are: ‘The Glass Quartier’, ‘The Helix Quartier’ (where you'll find almost 50 restaurants by heading up an impressive spiral walkway), and ‘The Waterfall Quartier’, which has a modestly-sized waterfall in a pretty cool central atrium.
You can get to EmQuartier Bangkok and Emporium by taking the BTS Skytrain to Phrom Phong. At the station, you can find signs in English leading you to both shopping malls.

Decent light bite of authentic Thai taste! This cafe is away from the center Bangkok chaos but easy to get due less traffic on the river bank. Environment is very cozy, garden is beautiful,too. Food very decent by local chef, timing of spicy and sweet is just fine. I recommend the Almond toast with banana and Boran Milk tea.
Wonderful service, relaxing atmosphere and live music if your there at the right time!! The food is delicious and they put in effort in making the meal look appealing ! Cute little find !
