Floating Market Bangkok Tour Agency

@solofemaletravel

Yes, the market is actually on water and you absolutely can’t go to Bangkok and not go to a floating market; that should be illegal. Once there, you can find tons of fresh produce, coconut water and tasty local snacks.

Chatuchak Weekend Market

@solofemaletravel

Chatuchak Markets are the largest markets in Thailand, which is why they only operate on the weekends. To see everything that this place has to offer would take hours, but it’s a great place to find some authentic souvenirs.

The Sky Tower was actually one of the locations used in the movie The Hangover II. After a putting on your best and traveling up 62 floors, you can see where the set was filmed for free, and maybe get a pricey drink if you’re feeling fancy.

Siriraj Medical Museum

@solofemaletravel

This museum isn’t like most, which are lined with painting after painting from the 1800s. This place is filled with something much worse….picture deformed babies, parasites in human organs and bodies of accident victims on display. This museum is NOT for the weak.
