Whether or you live in Nichada or downtown, it’s easy to get caught in your own bubble and stick to the same routine. But Bangkok is a one of the world’s top locations for people to let all their stress melt away and enjoy themselves. You deserve a break too — check out these three activities that are perfect for just that!

1. Chatuchak Market

This outdoor weekend market is perfect for some weekend thrift shopping. It’s one of the staple weekend markets in Thailand, complete with delicious coconut ice cream and people from all walks of life roaming the streets. But be sure to plan to spend a whole day there – it’s one of the world’s largest weekend markets, at over 35 acres! Also, take a map with you. That 35 acres is a jumble of over 15,000 shops selling all kinds of things, and it will be hard to find your way around if you don’t know where you’re going.

2. Bangkok Safari World Zoo and Marine Park

If you’re looking for a place to get away from homework and spend a Saturday with your family, this is just the thing for you. It’s Thailand’s most popular open zoo. You can take your family on a fully guided tour on a trip around the world. You can take a safari through the African grasslands, a jungle cruise through the marine park, and even visit adventure island to play with dolphins!

3. Siam Park City

Last but not least, somewhere to go with your friends and make a bunch of unforgettable memories. This theme park will be less crowded than Dream World, it will still offer tons of rides to go on, and it’s not too far away. This theme park offers a princess castle, exhilarating water park rides, and a haunted house. Be sure to put it on your list for next time you need somewhere to scream all your stress away.

Bangkok has so much to offer – from markets pulsing with life to haunted house deep within the bellies of theme parks. Next time you have a free day, don’t forget to go out and experience the amazing city we live in!
