I spent yesterday roaming through Khao San Road, checked out popular toy plazas, and ended the night at Bangkok’s Chinatown.
Everytime I visit Bangkok and it’s a weekend, I try to visit Asia’s largest street market — Chatuchak weekend market.
I visited Chatuchak market for the first time during my very first visit to Thailand back in 2009. This is probably my fifth or sixth time coming here — it’s like a ritual whenever I am in Bangkok 
Because this place is awesome — it has something for everyone!
Since there wasn’t anything new to observe in terms of stalls, I checked a new mall that had opened recently.
One key difference when it comes to offerings though, are the availability of toy stores selling collectibles and anime figurines!
MEGA Plaza and Always One Plaza probably have more stores and variety, but if you want to shop for anime figurines and get there easily by BTS metro, Mixt Chatuchak is quite good.
Imagine, all these furry breeds — huskies, malamutes, samoyeds — in tropical weather 
I’m guessing just as in India, local “dog lovers” don’t want their local, less-furry breeds?
Despite being my seventh time in Bangkok, I had never taken a local city bus to get around. I always rely on the metro as it’s the quickest way.
Once back in room, I packed my bags and went to bed, as I had to check out and head to the airport in the morning.
