Visiting Around in Bangkok


Although I have been stayed in Thailand nearly three years, I visited a few places which are tourist attraction and some places are not. Now I am planning to go around Bangkok on every weekends with my friends to get knowledge of  Thai's culture and language and moreover I would like to share information what are the tourist attraction places at Bangkok, how to get there and what kind of entertainment will you get at there. Therefore I started my plan previous weekend and we went to visit to the Benjakiti Park with the little of my Bangkok's map which is most useful one for me and by taking Bus no. 115.
At first we visited Home Expo & Living Concept Show before we went to the Benjakiti Park even thought we didn't have plan to went to that show. Although there are relaxation and recreational activities, we could not make any of those because park's closing time was almost reached. After that we took MRT to reach the Suan-Lum Night Bazaar that is the first and biggest shopping Bazaar in Bangkok. We had dinner at there and foods are expensive. We walked around at Night Bazaar about one hour and went to Silom Road on foot. There is a famous Patpong Road that is the Night Market with street-side market vendors and bars and clubs, but we had not went there. That is all of my one day visit and I will upload more  information about interesting places of Bangkok.
