World Markets

Damnoen Saduak is around an hour drive from Bangkok and is one of the biggest and most popular ones. Take your time exploring, be patient and look for vendors more inside rather on the edges who try to sell you expensive souvenirs. The deeper you go the nicer locals you'll encounter too.

This is truely an amazing world heritage. An almost normal square during the day, and a circus at night.

Spellbinding. Ready for the recording to start. Must be a movie set.

It is easy to make a day or two out of the wharf and pier 39. It is interesting and touristy, but a must in your first trip to the Bay Area. Some places you may try are Scoma's, the sourdough factory, and not to far away is ghiradelli square.

Fun place! Good eats!

Great

Dope

Opening Times: Monday to Saturday 9:00 - 19:00. Closed Sundays and bank holidays.

Istanbul's grand old bazaar with an estimated 4400 shops lined along covered walkways. It is said to be the world's oldest shopping mall, covers several blocks and features a labyrinth of side streets to keep you lost for the better part of a day. The shops are organized around their wares, e.g. the silver jewellers are clustered together, the carpet shops are clustered elsewhere and the shoe shops are bunched together somewhere else. Parts of it now are rather touristy (most locals don't shop there) and you're likely to pay a little more for your purchase than elsewhere but with the vast selection you'll find what you're looking for and it's one of Istanbul's character pieces.

Fun market.

Love it here!!! Lots of people selling their crafts. Has an "island feel" about it.

It's nice. but when you're not really into partying then it is not that good

My favorite thing to do in the city. Closed on Sundays 😞

Get there really early (as most chefs do), before the all the tourists and the trolley-wheeling old ladies arrive.
