If You Think Bangkok Is Only About Markets, These 8 Places Will Prove You Wrong!

However, besides the markets, Bangkok actually has plenty else to offer, especially if you’re planning a mixed trip. That way, your boys won’t have to sit around and get bored while waiting for the girls to finish shopping (which admittedly can take extremely long). 😂

With this list, everyone in your gang, boy or girl, will definitely say “on” to your Bangkok trip! 😆
