QUOTE(Nels @ Mar 22 2015, 06:25 PM) Guys, I'm in bangkok right now and thinking of going to rot fair market. The road to go there seems complicated, anyone familiar with actual routing and what transport to take? if u mean talad rot fai (train night market), then just take the MRT line at stop at Thailand Cultural Center station. Take exit 3, turn left and u will see a mall. Now u can either walk around the mall as the market is behind the mall or u can walk into the mall and take 1 of the exit at the middle. Either way u will reach the market.

QUOTE(pisces88 @ Mar 23 2015, 10:07 PM) are you going any floating market?  need views on Amphawa market.. are you planning to go any floating market? need views on Amphawa market.. I've been to Amphawa market, pretty big and decent and not mention packed with locals. It is meant for locals than tourists although more are going there now. Not many there speaks English or have English translation of the food and wares they are selling so you might have to do some body language. If you're adventurous, you can go there and explore. For me I'd say worth visiting for more authentic of floating market, you can also visit the train market which is quite near. Usually a day's trip.

Take note that the last minivan back to bangkok from Amphawa is 8PM!
