Day Four
If it's a weekend, take the BTS north for a half-day of shopping at the
Chatuchak Weekend Market
. Otherwise, consider a half-day excursion outside
the city to the provincial-feeling
Nonthaburi Market
, the man-made island of
Ko Kret
or the recreated ruins at
Ancient City
(Muang Boran).
Lunch
Chatuchak Weekend Market (

)
has cheap and tasty food stalls.
Recover from the market in the relative cool of the late afternoon before taking the
MRT (metro) to Chinatown to visit the home of the Golden Buddha,
Wat Traimit
,
and the Chinese-style
Wat Mangkon Kamalawat
. Consider popping over to
Phahurat
to sample that neighbourhood's South Asian feel, or if you're there after dark,
the flower market at
Pak KhlongTalat
.
Dinner
Follow our walking tour (

) of Chinatown's best street eats.
Make the brief taxi ride to Banglamphu and begin the evening with drinks at
Ma-
dame Musur
, followed by a rowdy live music show at
Brick Bar
or dancing at
Club
. If bedtime is irrelevant, head for the shishas (water pipes) and dance floor of
Triple-D
.
