12 Markets In Bangkok You Should Not Miss

by Maria Wulff Hauglann|

I simply LOVE markets! I like the vibrant atmosphere and walking around in between the different booths looking at all the strange and useful and sometimes not so useful things they sell.

by Maria Wulff Hauglann|

Bangkok is one of my favorite shopping cities in the world! I just love shopping in Bangkok, with its combination of huge posh shopping centers with international and Asian fashion design, but once you pop out on the street you can also find all kinds of cool and cheap stuff!
