Visit some of the city's lesser-known attractions that are as equally exciting
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. To put it simply, Bangkok is starting to become a bit of a humdrum and you're itching to ignite that very same spark on your first visit to the Land Of Smiles.
Fret not as we compiled a list of places that are, sort of, off the beaten path to get you obsessed with Bangkok all over again:

5. Rot Fai Market
With many hipster night markets like Neon and Artbox springing up in Bangkok, Rot Fai Market has been a mainstay with its huge variety of goods and authentic vintage vibes. Get your nails done, and even temporary tattoos in a makeshift salon at a steal! Other gems you can find are cheap but beautiful customised passport covers, and even handmade leather goods!
There is also a new Rot Fai Market Ratchada, but we heard that they are almost the same! So pick the one which is the most convenient for you.
Location: Rot Fai Market: Soi Srinagarindra 51, Nong Bon, Prawet, Bangkok 10250, Thailand (behind Seacon Square)
Rot Fait Ratchada: Ratchadaphisek Rd, Khwaeng Din Daeng, Khet Din Daeng, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10400, Thailand (close to Esplanade Shopping Mall)
