SAWASDEE!!!

Hello there everyone. SAWADIKA. Hoping that you're all in a great condition. So, in today's post, I'll be sharing with you all about my indelible experiences of me travelling to Thailand. To be honest,  it was an unforgettable 10 days of witnessing the life of being at the city which is prominent around the world for it's variegated, indecent & funky night life, culture and of course, their street delicacies. I'll be taking this opportunity to share with you all about the places that i managed to visit throughout the whole stay here. So everyone, pack your stuff and buckle up, because we are flying to Thailand.

CHATUCHAK WEEKEND MARKET:
The first destination that I would like to talk about is the Chatuchak Weekend Market. What's this market about? It's basically a weekend market that ladles out our eyes with assorted stuff that can be bought as souvenirs and stuff which we could make them as business modals. It comprises two sections which are the indoor and the outdoor section. To shop here, great negotiating skills are  compulsorily needed. How? Simple, learn their language even if it's the basics one, make jokes and tease them. Trust me, it works all the time. To be honest, Chatuchak Weekend is just similar to GM Klang here in Malaysia. There's no colossal disparity between both of these wholesale market nonetheless it's operating day. Chatuchak Market is only available on the weekends or specifically, on Saturdays only. Not to forget, in spite of souvenirs and stuff, this market also serves us delectable street delicacies. You know what's best for business? A coconut ice cream occupied with lots of toppings on a 37 degree celcius temperature.

RATCHADA NIGHT MARKET:

The next place would be the Ratchada Night Market. In the English term, it is known as the Thailand Cultural Center Night Market. Seriously, I have to profess that  this place was the foremost location ever. Why? Let me tell you, this place is an exciting place to get lost! This place is filled with tourists and locals during the night times enjoying the stalls selling a wide range of goods. Once we hit the market,  rows of food stalls were offering a substantial variety of delicacies to feed all the assorted cravings. Food prices are a bit higher here, compared to Thai standard, but still, it is affordable and will not burn a hole in your pocket. Next to the food stalls, there are many stalls selling a variety of items such as antiques, second-hand toys and assorted retro accessories, as well as more general market type clothes, bags, shoes and electronics. After completing the walk around the stalls, there’s a good selection of open-air bars with rooftop seating to stop at for refueling and recharging. Some of them have live music as well and seriously, the feeling of hanging out at a rooftop of the bar while listening to catchy music is simply exquisite.  All in all, Talad Rot Fai Ratchada is one of the most happening night markets to visit if you are traveling to Bangkok. It does get busy here but you can truly enjoy the relaxing and captivating atmosphere that this market has to offer. It’s really worth to spend a few hours exploring the stalls, eating street food and soaking in the atmosphere

   

ASIATIQUE THE RIVERFRONT:

 

Asiatique has successfully combined two of the most popular shopping experiences in the city and they are the night bazaar and a mall. This once-bustling international trade port has been reoriented, with over 1,500 boutiques and 40 restaurants housed under an enormous replica warehouse complex. From trendy fashions stuff, peculiar souvenirs and food stall, Asiatique has it all! You can also take a boat to reach here. From the boat you step off onto a long boardwalk which runs for 300 meters that looks romantic once the sun has set.

VENEZIA, HUA HIN:

Moving on, instead of building a boring shopping plaza with rows of anonymous shops, ever wondered ofa place the we could shop and pick a photogenic world destination or a fun theme, add plenty of romantic photo opportunities, plus a couple of attractions and entertainment venues? No worries, Venezia Hua Hin occupies them all. The theme chosen by The Venezia is Venice and colorful mediterranean houses, shops and terraces are lined up on each side of the canal which ends in front of an Italian looking garden and two large church-like buildings. Besides shops, Venezia also features a 3D MUSEUM and a Mini Zoo. It's like you're in Italy when you're here. Not to forget, Hua Hin is 200 kilometers away from Bangkok. I'm suggesting if you're planning on paying a visit here, booking a hotel would be preferably necessitated as it is an exhausting long trip from the strenuous city. 

   

When traveling, it is crucial for us to know the do's and don'ts. So, here are some regulations that you should do and should not do when you are in Thailand.:

DO'S:

1. Do respect all Buddha Images. Buddha images are held sacred and sacrilegious are punishable by imprisonment even if committed by foreigners.

2. Do lower your body slightly when passing between or in front of people.

3. Do treat monks with the highest respect.

4. Do smile a lot

4. Don't take Buddha Images out of the country.

To be honest, I do miss Thailand a lot. The places, the people, the food and the culture are the vindications for me to say goodbye a hard one. I'm anticipating for many more adventurous misadventures. People, go travel. You can gain and look for money but your time and experience? They won't. Coveting you all pleasant days ahead and farewell everyone.
