Thailand is notoriously known for the “Original Copies”; at least that’s what they call it. Copies of branded watches with everything functioning; may not be perfectly though. If you feel those; you’ll certainly realize those are “copies” but from a distance; it is difficult to figure it out. And these watches are everywhere!!! Price goes up; with better and bigger brand !!!

This is a small shop in famous Indra Plaza, Bangkok; which was full of only wristwatches.

I’ve posted both BW and color version of this image. Let me know which one you like better!!

Venue : Indra Plaza, Bangkok, Thailand.

I guess most of the major cities have a “China Town” ( After all China is the largest population for no ordinary reason ☺ ) and Bangkok is no different. Not far from city center; China Town is a stretch of 1 km road and the by lanes and allies. Though during day time it’s no less busy, as hordes of shoppers descend upon this 1-km strip and adjacent Charoenkrung Road to get a day’s worth of staple, trade gold, or pay a visit to one of the Chinese temple; China town comes to life at night. Densely packed with street side food joints, makeshift sitting arrangements, yummy and really good looking fresh food makes this a must visit in Bangkok.

It may sound a bit surprising; if I say China Town is the highest point for me during my entire Thailand trip. The colors and joy and happiness and above all loads of food made me conclude the same ☺. People are cheerful and photographer friendly a not only tourists; but local people come here to take pictures too !!!

This is a street side makeshift food joint; with dramatic closed shutter of a shop made it look so majestic. Removing some of the anomalies can easily make this look like a royal palace or something like that

Crocodile Meat, Pattaya Floating Market

Eating crocodile meat in my ToDo for a long time now. And luckily I got chance to fulfill it in Pattaya Floating Market. There is only one shop on boat; this lady selling crocodile meat there. My suspicion of its authenticity was address by few videos of the crocodile firm and detailed discussion about how the meat is prepared etc. They were preparing kind of “Crocodile Kabab” and each stick was 20 Bhat.

Innocent Giraffe, Pattaya Floating Market

Covering an area of 100,000sqm, the Four Regions Floating Market is separated into four sections – each representing and selling items from the four major parts of Thailand (north, northeast, central and south). Expect to find many eateries, fruit stalls, souvenir shops and some art galleries. There is also a cultural show every afternoon. The 350 million baht market has over 114 shops and water vendors selling authentic Thai food, desserts and specialties from all over the kingdom. For a floating market experience, hire a man-powered boat to get around and discover the richness of the surrounding Thai architecture and riverside life. Typically, the boat is big enough for four people and can be hired for a small fee for around 30 minutes.

A walk through the hundreds of wooden houses built in the different styles of the four regions is pleasant and fun. Food happens to be the main draw here. There are plenty of authentic Thai dishes and classic desserts to sample. Highlights include noodle soups, pad thai (stir-fried rice noodles), kanom jean (rice vermicelli) with different kinds of curries, ka nom krok (coconut pancake), foi thong (golden threads), thong yip (sweet egg yolk) and more. Postcards, Thai handicrafts and some ancient toys made from wood or die-cast metal are widely available within the market, too.

Besides food stalls and shops, the market also features other educational and entertaining attractions. The wood-carving museum displays beautiful carved images. If photography is one of your hobbies, don’t miss the sunflower and agricultural demonstration fields. There is also a daily free show featuring four cultural performances. The Four Regions Floating Market Pattaya is a good place to get away from the chaos that is Pattaya and is a must-do for those who have yet to visit a Thai floating market. The market is located on Sukhumvit Road, about two kilometres past Pattaya Underwater World, on the way to Sattahip.
