Despite how many times you would plan to visit Thailand, the country will never be a boring destination. Attractions keep on growing here thanks to its unique fusion of modernity and culture.
If you think you are sensitive to scary things, then opt out of this. But if you are otherwise, you should seriously consider visiting this medical museum, also dubbed as Museum of Death. Well, it does not sound cool, does it? But it is a cool experience if you are interested in diseases and disorder among humans. The museum is located simply upriver close to Wat Pho, a Buddhist temple. The museum is home to preserved body parts of humans.
If you have opted out of the medical museum, here is actually a cool attraction. Just take a ferry and head towards Chao Phraya and the Flower Market is right there. The market, Pak Khlong Talat, is such a cool attraction with its blooming fragrance and colour. If you are lucky, you should be here when the flower trucks come. The whole market gets scented by the flowers in the truck. The market is located in close vicinity to Anantara Baan Rajprasong Bangkok Serviced Suites.
Take the ferry back to where the medicine museum is. The Wang Lang Food market is there to greet you with its awesome collection of cuisine. The most interesting thing about here is that you get to eat yummy food for a cheap price.
Once you are inside, you will realise the real metaphor of supremacy thanks to the market's huge size. Reach here on a Saturday night, and you will feel the pulse of its shopping entertainment. Be amused by the fellow shoppers who use flashlights to explore what they need to buy. Probably hence the market is also known as the Flashlight Market. And these visitors have a reason to use flashlight. The market is huge and there is a vast collection of rare items. If you are looking for some rare items, this is the best place to visit. If you have no idea how to get here, you can get directions from any service apartment Sukhumvit has to offer.
Bangkok has a number of cinemas here and there. If you are travelling during the daytime, you will of course soon be sweating because of the scorching sun. At such a moment, the best alternative could be to step into a well air-conditioned cinema and watch a film at a reasonable price. Some cinemas would offer other services such as complimentary drinks, foot massage and appetisers.
The museum is a must-visit if you are travelling with children. The museum is home to plenty of action figures, entertainment items and toys. Your child will find a lot more amusing things here, and won't feel like leaving the place. For you, of course, the museum will give you a sense of nostalgia. Because the museum's exhibits represent all generations. And you will certainly find items which belong to your generation as well.
