Man_utd, your day 1 depend on what time you touch down, as going out bangkok is time consuming, while night market at Sum Lum is okie, as it quite relax there with food court and shopping bazaar.

Day2, i guess you are spending 1/2 day bkk and then headed to pataya, well, Floating market is 2 hrs drive away and start roughly at 8AM morning, both way take you 2hrs alr. mos popular wat like Arun, Wat Po located at same area so does the king palace. Skippppp the Gem factory they are trying to conn ur money onli. Watch watch and see see also worth nothing , unless you did your homework on those gems alr.

Dat3/4 seem pretty relax and okie.

Enjoy the bkk city..... icon_rolleyes.gif

man_utd, it all depend on ur preferences, shopping, food, entertainment, health etc.

as what others said, BKK is 3-5x KL city.

In your case, from 3pm onward can try the Chatuchak Market (hot & humid) but a different experience. Or if you like air-cond one go to Paragon/MBK etc.

If you are looking for local food, go to Siam Square there are couple of good restaurant in soi4 Som Dam(North East Salad), Soi 5 SteamBoat, Trendi, Soi 6 Bak Khun Mae(local mama dish).

If you like sport, can get some bike and rides them across BKK thru the gardens, but i have not tried yet.

there are many more you can do. Just narrow your scope 1st else you need more days in BKK...lol
