Suan Lum Night Market, Bangkok
This place is the shiz! Awesome place to just get lost around. Heard that its probably not as good as the "other" famous weekend market but as that name suggests it opens only on the weekends =___=" so I had to give it a pass. But Suan Lum Night Market is still awesome too. Very easy to find. Its RIGHT next to the Lumpini Station.
A tip: Its a night market =D Yeah, so the best time to head there is well, during the night.
The thing about this place is there's just rows and rows to tiny shops where you can buy stuff that range from t-shirts with random quotes to tin sculptures to rad music stores that sell rad music that you're never heard before.
There is this big food court. Nice settings with the huge stage right in front with that random thai dude singing one of the local hits. Food was very mediocre though, and EXPENSIVE! Its a tourist attraction so its expected of them to milk every sen off our pockets.
The problem I had with this place though is that for a night market, this place closes down really early which is at 11 pm! I was expecting it to go on till 2 or 3 in the morning.
And there was this place that sells music. The shops sells these awesome covers of mainstream songs, with it all pimped out in the jazz/acoustic way. Bought a bunch of cds. Has lotsa bossa nova tracks- that sorta music.
