Pratunam Market @ Bangkok, Thailand

Getting to Pratunam Market is the most memorable part of the whole trip. I tried their local transportation mode! It was through a canal! The trip from Siam Centre to Pratunam only cost me THB10 one way!

People getting on board

 We manage to find this Canal through a friendly Thai lady who is heading the same way. She lead us through a dark road, which is located under a bridge. I was rather suspicious until I ended up at this clearing which is attracting a number of people who are waiting for the boat to arrive.

On the boat

 We soon arrive at our destination and everyone quickly got off the boat. It was a really quick process where the boat left the moment it was empty. The lady explained that the boat is usually the main mode of transportation during peak hours as the traffic on the road is really bad. We soon parted ways.

Pawn Shop

Cheap footwear

 We came across this mall which is sort of connected to Pratunam Market as the market is actually situated along the walkway. We thought it would be a good idea to take a look at what the mall sells.

Indra Square Mall

 From what we could see, it was mostly cheap goods such as watches, ladies' accessories, etc. There is a food court at the top most level as well.

 Saw this really unique store. Well, it looks different compared to other stores in the building. Thought would take a look.

Hats

We bought some socks for another cousin back at home(as per requested) for THB70 each. It's pure white cotton socks.

I think that basically sums up the Pratunam Market trip. The stuff here is really cheap and it is worth to take a look.

On a side note, do beware of pick pockets wherever you go. Especially to crowded places.
