Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Chinatown – Bangkok, Yaowarat Road Samphanthawong, Samphanthawong, Bangkok 10100 Thailand

Bangkok’s Chinatown is a popular tourist attraction and a food haven for new generation gourmands who flock here after sunset to explore the vibrant street-side cuisine. At day time, it’s no less busy, as hordes of shoppers descend upon this 1-km strip and adjacent Charoenkrung Road to get a day’s worth of staple, trade gold, or pay a visit to one of the Chinese temples.

Pass By: Phahurat Market, ถนน ตรีเพชร แขวง Khwaeng Wang Burapha Phirom, Khet Phra Nakhon, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10170, Thailand

Little India in Bangkok, known locally as ‘Phahurat Market’, is just a short walk from the city’s famous Chinatown, not too far away from the banks of the Chao Phraya River. And its label of ‘little’ is certainly appropriate; the neighbourhood is made up of just one short road with only a few giveaways that it is home to Bangkok’s largest Indian community, such as a prominent golden-domed Sikh temple, some shabby (but very delicious) curry houses and lots of traditional textile shops.

Stop At: Sampeng Market, Samphanthawong, Bangkok 10400 Thailand

Sampeng Market in Bangkok, Thailand is unlike all the tourist markets you will end up at if you don’t know where to find the real deal.

A typical traditional open-air market, Sampeng Market is one of Bangkok’s biggest, cheapest and most popular places to buy wholesale products, as well as a slice of ‘real Thailand’, which as a tourist you would love.
