My version of Must Do-s in Bangkok

Being a travel budget junkie and food lover.. there are several nice things must do in Bangkok:

1. Place to stay: search Khao-San road: it is a backpacker area.. all backpackers roaming around. asically it is a block of street with lots of small motels and restaurant and much more street vendors. At night this road turned into a night street and attract even more crowd to come.

2. Temples: of course!... get yourself a Bangkok tourist map (available in hotels and travel agents) and enjoy several nice temples which are located in one area - Wat Arun, Wat Pho, The Grand Palace.. just walk around and explore the area.

3. Night Markets.. there are several night markets, depends which one to see... whether you want to see a night market or "a night market" :)

4. Eat where local eats: lots of street hawkers sells pork noodle soup, fried chicken and sausages and fresh fruits.. all almost cost nothing!

5. Shop - yes, definitifely: biggest place would be still Cathucak Sunday Market.. huge and beware, you can easily lost there! Lots of huge malls along Sukhumvit Road

6. try the tuk-tuk: small cart/pedicab, you name it.. that take you everywhere (bargain is a must!)

7. Roaming around with MRT.. hey taxi is cheap too here!

8. Explore the chinatown: they have a tour bus every certain hour (and free) - the guide explains in Thai, though. Traditional markets are also nice to explore, to see some strange stuffs:)

9. Outskirt Bangkok will be a nice place to go if you have a chance. Try Ayutthaya to see some ruins
