Where is the floating/water market?

Answer 1

In Bangkok go see the water market in the morning and check out the snake shows after that. It's also cool to see Thai kick boxing in Bangkok too. Patpong market is also a great place to go shopping but you have to go at night. The palaces in Bangkok are great too. You might want to go to Pattaya for a day or 2. It is about at 2 hour bus ride. The beach there is not bad. They have an elephant show there that is pretty cool. There is so much to do there I can't explain it all. There are many travel agents and tour companies that I am sure will help you.

Answer 2

There's much to do and see in Bangkok. Shopping paradise for branded goods, good imitation copies of them, local handicrafts. Many tourists attractions like theme parks, ancient temples/monuments. Nightlife and entertainment - you'll be spoilt for choices!

Bangkok was founded in 1782 by the first monarch of the present Chakri dynasty. It is now the country's spiritual, cultural, diplomatic, commercial and educational hub. It covers an area of more than 1,500 square kilometres, and it is home to approximatlely ten million people or more than 10% of the country's population.

Over the last few decades, Thailand's capital city, Bangkok, has changed into a modern, exciting and sophisticated city. It offers to visitors not only the cosmopolitan amenities they would expect from other big cities, but also a unique treasure trove of cultural attractions. Thailand, in the heart of Southeast Asia, was never colonised and thus kept its unique culture and heritage intact. Bangkok offers visitors the opportunity to experience fascinating glimpse of Thailand's gentle culture amidst the bustle of a great and dynamic metropolis. This great city has had astounding success in combining the ancient and modern world.


For tourists, Bangkok has a feast of attractions to offer. The city is dotted with 400 glittering Buddhist temples of great beauty and fascination, magnificent palaces, classical dance extravaganzas, numerous shopping centres and traditional ways of life, especially along the "Venice of the East" timeless canals and the Chao Phraya River of the "River of Kings" winding through the city. It is worth taking a trip along its waters before exploring further into different canals to take a glimpse of old Bangkok.

Answer 4

Good heavens, get a guide book; don't rely on Y/A. A trick I use is to go to a Barnes & Noble with pen and pad; raid their section on the locale I'm interested in; and brouse through the books in one of their lounge chairs, taking notes.
