Today, taking Bangkok as an example, I recommend to you a new niche method that most Chinese people don’t know:

Bangkok’s niche emerging market

The markets and night markets in Bangkok can be regarded as one of the must-dos. However, there are more than 30 markets and night markets in Bangkok, large and small, but you have to go with the crowds to the crowded floating markets, weekend markets and train markets. ?Banana Planet recommends these latest, most stylish and distinctive local markets in Bangkok~

Many markets will be open in the afternoon and evening, so you might as well go and have a look during the day PakKhlongTalat was selected as one of the nine most beautiful flower markets in the world.

ArtBox, which emerged in 2015, is known as Thailand’s first container market. In less than half a year, young people from all over the world have flocked to it. Every year Art

Box, whether it is the official website or the venue, follows Apple's simple style that is popular all over the world. The stalls that can be placed here are all strictly selected design brands, and even the drinks sold are never bottled, which is very stylish!

Market weekend creative market, which only sells popular brands on the Internet, and more importantly, its event location Covering A-Square, Asiatique, Central

world, EmQuartier and other places, they are all places with the most convenient transportation!

By the way, the editor has found a veteran-style condom restaurant in Amway :

“Cabbage and Condoms” may be the most disgusting restaurant in Thailand. Every decoration in the store will make the veteran drivers smile knowingly. The key point is that they are really made of condoms

But! It is actually a charity restaurant and is the original It was established by Michai, a member of the Thai Parliament, in order to curb the rapid increase in AIDS patients in Thailand and to promote physiological hygiene knowledge. Behind every seemingly weird decoration in the store are the good intentions of experienced drivers.

The dishes in the restaurant are improved classic Thai dishes, and there is also a small shop selling peripheral products, with various props, which are really good gifts!

The wine is diffused Nightlife

Going to Bangkok without going to Khao San Road is like missing an important test in life. There are big pigtails, drunkards, Ray-Bans, prostitutes, and Harleys here. It’s a bit bluff, but it’s just right. Fake hippie.

Khao San Road looks completely different during the day and at night. During the day, it is a gathering place for backpackers from all over the world. There are so many petty bourgeoisie shops, food stalls, and souvenir shops that you can spend hours browsing!

When night falls, Khao San Road begins to enter carnival, with countless tattoo shops and bars popping up.

You will accidentally meet a young man who is holding a wine bottle and is so happy that he even lost his shoes. He will proudly show off the tattoo he just got, and ask you back through the drunkenness and the aphrodisiac air of Southeast Asia: "Bangkok is a paradise for tattoos." ! Otherwise, what else could it be?”

After visiting here, it does not mean that your Bangkok nightlife is over, on the contrary, it has just begun! Overlooking the night view of the city is a way to experience Bangkok’s nightlife . There are many rooftops here, including well-known ones such as Sirocco and Sky

Walk, as well as hotel rooftops such as BanyanTree or Bangkok Marriott Hotel Sukhumvit.

After seeing the elegant night view, it is also time to experience the wild night of Bangkok. The red light district is bustling with excitement starting from 5pm. Girls come in one after another. The originally empty street is instantly filled with the laughter of warblers and the sky is filled with chaos. Fei's eyes are full of eyes, and the smell of wild animals is floating in the air, like an invisible temptation

The quality of several major red light districts in Bangkok varies, and the largest one is Patpong, but the deception There are also various places, NaNa

Plaza is famous for its erotic bar, and there is also Pechaburi, which mainly specializes in "special massage". The sultry street girls and countless GOGOBARs in Soi Cowboy are also unique.

Blessing shopping trip in Siam shopping district

Spend a whole day shopping in Siam, the most prosperous business district in Bangkok. In addition to shopping, there are 7 statues hidden in the siam area. It is said that if you worship 7 Buddhas in one day, you will have special good luck!

The 7 statues are Trimurti, the God of Love, Ganesh, the Elephant God, Uma, the Snow Mountain Goddess, Indra, Nala Yang Narayana, Lakshimi, the auspicious goddess, and the famous four-faced god Phra

Phrom.

They are scattered in the squares of various shopping malls, so you can pray and go shopping in this shopping pilgrimage at the same time!

The best place for shopping is SiamParagon , owns Siam Paragon, known as "the largest department store in Southeast Asia", and also owns SiamOcean

World, the largest aquarium in Southeast Asia.

The Central World Plaza, just a stone’s throw away, is also a must-stop for this prayer route. As a long-established shopping mall in Siam business district, CentralWorld

Plaza includes ZEN department store and Japanese ISETAN department store, as well as KINGPOWERDUTYFREE located on the 7th floor.

The next stop is Big

C, the center for affordable souvenirs in Bangkok. Products such as tom yum soup condiments, curry, grass paste, and various ointments that cost hundreds of baht at airport duty-free shops are only half the price at Big-C.

You can also enjoy Bangkok’s most popular honey toast dessert, AfterYou Dessert

Café along the route. And Jianxing Restaurant, a must-try restaurant for Chinese people in Bangkok. Finally, worship the extremely efficacious Erawan Buddha under the cover of night.

If you are a vintage person, Papaya Studio is definitely worth a special trip for you. This 5,000-square-meter vintage shop is actually a huge three-story warehouse. It is said that it is the largest vintage shop in Asia and even the world. I heard that many Hollywood movies purchase retro props from here!

Walking here, you will definitely be surprised like me! Everywhere you go, you will feel like you are traveling through a movie montage. . Various objects seemingly placed randomly build up stories, which are a bit weird but very interesting. Almost everything in the store is for sale. You can take photos while shopping and show them to the staff for price inquiry. As for the price, it seems to depend on the mood of the boss, haha.

The things here are incredibly rich, ranging from small rings and necklaces to large designer chairs of various eras, and even motorcycles can be found here.

On the 2nd floor there is an entire wall of antique clocks, and on the 3rd floor there is a room filled with one-to-one scale sci-fi movie character models... However, the space here is a bit difficult. Look for it. It is recommended to take a taxi.

The JamFactory in the Cultural and Creative Park is not a factory. It is actually a complex space transformed from an old warehouse with a strong literary and artistic atmosphere. It is also a must-visit holy place for Bangkok’s cultural youth.

Architect Duangrit Bunnag bought this place and gave it new life. The famous Thai Creative Center TCDC

was also created by him. Warehouses nestled among green plants have now been transformed into bookstores, boutiques, cafes, restaurants, studios, etc. Spend a leisurely afternoon here and feel the tranquility of escaping from the busy city.

In addition, if you like the hearty aesthetics of violence, you must watch a Muay Thai match in Bangkok! Muay Thai is a very practical fighting technique, with a strong fighting spirit and an indomitable spirit. He is ruthless and will never give up when he defeats his enemy.

Before coming to Thailand, most people’s impression of Muay Thai might only be the performance of Thai movie star Tony Jaa. At Bangkok Ratchadamu Boxing Stadium, you will have the opportunity to watch a real Muay Thai match!

The editor recommends that you allocate half a day to this place, which is an hour and a half away from the city. Take a drive to the Maeklong Railway Market to experience the local style. Known as the most "dangerous" wet market in the world, this is more than just a traditional Thai market. You can charter a car or join some local Bangkok daytrips, which will be more convenient. There are also minivans in downtown Bangkok that can reach you.

This is a market built on train tracks. Whenever a train passes by, the vendors on both sides will quickly retract their canopies to allow the train to pass slowly. After passing by, they would calmly set up their stalls again, and everyone would continue walking on the railway tracks to buy food leisurely. Although I did some

research before traveling, I still found it very exciting when I saw the live version~

The trains here will pass by 8 times a day. The time is given below. Good to note. It is recommended that everyone come 15 minutes early

to get a good seat. When the train passes by, the distance is so close that you can touch the car body with your hands. Although you are excited, you must pay attention to safety!

The time when the train passes the railway market: 6:20am, 9:00am, 11 : 30am, 3:30pm; 8:30am, 11:10am, 2:30pm, 5:40pm. (p.s. Thai trains are often not on time)

The island has beautiful temples, Buddha statues, forests, and more importantly, an incomparably fresh treehouse hotel!
