Bangkok is a fantastic place for budget travelling with shopping at affordable prices and indulging in yummy Thai food. This trip we had the privilege of my cousins bringing us to places we have not been before. As they are locals it was much easier to move around with them.
We found a good deal on Scoot website, which gave us the opportunity to maximise our time in Bangkok, Thailand. It was the first flight out from Singapore and the last flight out from Bangkok Don Mueang Airport.
As we were too early to check in, we headed straight to Jatujak Weekend Market or to the tourist is called Chatuchak Weekend Market.

We sat down for brunch since all of us were very hungry. The food were fantastic and cheap. But be careful there are always two kinds of prices in Thailand. The local price and tourists price, so don't get cheated.

It was pretty cooling when we reach Jatujak about 10am but it started to get quite hot in the afternoon. I would highly recommend to be in shorts and cooling top to beat the hot weather.

After a couple of hours shopping, the heat and the navigation of the market got the better of us, it was time to take a shopping break. After so many years I still can't complete walking around Jatujak because I seem to be walking in circles. It goes to show the difficulties in navigation there.

We left and headed towards Novotel at Siam Square to check in. The location was superb. Is like staying in our Singapore Orchard area.

As the room was not ready, we decided to have some fun at Siam Laser Games which was located just below Novotel. It was our first time playing and it's so fun.

After the games we went to check in. The staffs were nice to give us a complimentary upgrade and an extra bed for the kid.

| Rod Fai Night Market |
As weekend was a chance to head off to Night Markets too, we drove to Ta Lard Nud Rodfai at Srinakarin area. It's not very convenient to get there for sure but you can check from here the best way to get there.

This place is highly recommended by me to the extend of skipping Jatujak next time.The selection was good and the price was better then Jatujak as this place is more frequented by the locals. We are looking at 100 - 300baht range. Since it is a night market, the weather was so much cooler.
I apologize for the quality of the night photos. It didn't turn out well as I was really tired and had no tripod with me. But I just need to show everyone the place. We ended the night late and we were exhausted. Went back to hotel to rest for an exciting day tomorrow.
