#Accommodations

Bangkok has accommodation to suit every taste and budget. A visitor can live like an emperor in an elegant hotel, or just get by in a guest-house on a modest budget. The capital offers a rich variety of choices in all price categories and, compared to their counterparts in the West, hotels offer good value for money. It is recommended that visitors make advance room reservations if they plan to visit Bangkok form November to March, since many hotels in the city are normally fully booked during the peak season.

Bangkok is not only colourful in daytime but also after sunset when the city takes on a different light and comes to life to offer amusement 24-hours round the clock.

#Phat Phong & Sukhumvit

Probably the most popular night-life spot in the city, located between Thanon Silom and Thanon Surawong, the Phat Phong area is full of a-go-go bars and beers bars. There are also exciting Thai Boxing (Muay-Thai) bouts in the three short streets comprising Phat Phong. In Sukhumvit area, there are another two popular night-life spots: Nana Entertainment Plaza (or N.E.P.) in Sukhumvit Soi 4 and Soi Cowboy which is located between Sukhumvit Soi 21 and 23.

#Floating Market

#Floating Market

Despite the emergence of the ubiquitous farm pick-ups, paddy farmers and orchard gardeners still continue to meet and barter their products in age-old trading spots on the cannals (Klong). Early every morning, sampans laden with all kinds of tropical fruits and vegetables and fresh products, wind their way to the floating markets around Bangkok. There is one particular floating market in Bangkok that visitors can enjoy : Taling Chan Floating Market is a weekend market in front of Taling Chan Distric office, open from 09.00 to 17.00 hours. Boat trip services are available for sight-seeing along the cannal where gardens and a village lifestyle are still to be seen. (Bangkok Metropolitan Administration: 2001: 223)
