So, you hit Bangkok on Saturday after a week or so of swaning around in Phuket...You need to get out there on Saturday night and hit the streets!!!! You are only 2 skytrain stops away from Lumphini park,spend 2 hours people watching and then hit Suan Lum for dinner(walking distance from the park). THere is a great open air Beer hall there (think Octoberfest) and they have local Thai bands playing and a food court. In the Market, there is a row of massage places where you will get the best foot massage in Thailand (I was initially concerned about having my feet rubbed by a bloke but I soon got over it). From there, you are virtually 2 minutes walk from the largest Muay Thai stadium in Thailand. This is the real stuff with 100's of bookmakers and punters just going off there heads. IT IS ABSOLUTELY FACINATING!!!! After that winds up, grab a taxi and go to the bar on top of the State Tower...The Sky Bar, have a few cocktails(expensive by Thai standards but cheaper than at home)and look at the view of the city of Angels from the viewpoint of an Angel. By this time you may be ready for bed so I wont push you too hard as the only time for the weekend market is early as after about 11am it is unbearingly hot and crowded. You are only 3 days away from being back at home,dont waste a second, live it ...love it.
