The capital of Thailand has always served as an ideal destination for quick getaways and long-haul vacations by our countrymen. Because with a flight time that takes as long as a polyclinic queue, who can blame them?
But being a well-seasoned Bangkok-trotter comes with its own first-world problems. Platinum Mall is starting to bore out your wit's end, or perhaps you don't feel as stimulated after the 100th massage at Healthland.

2. Maeklong Railway Market
Fancy grocery shopping mere millimetres away from a moving train? At Maeklong Railway Market, you can do so as a train casually passes through the space several times a day. The sellers simply move their produce aside and wait for the train to pass. Although it’s just a normal occurrence for the locals, it’s definitely a curious sight for visitors from all around!
Location: Kasem Sukhum Alley, Mae Klong, Samut Songkhram, 75000
Opening Hours: 6am to 5pm daily
