Arrive in Bangkok, transfer to DT Hotel in Pratunam and check in or leave luggage. DT Hotel is centrally placed for Pratunam markets and malls, making it a convenient base.
Start at Pratunam Market for bargain clothing, accessories and local snacks; busy in the morning and great for wholesale-style deals. Market stalls typically open from early morning (~08:00) and run through the evening.
Taste papaya salad and Isaan favourites at Som Tam Nua (popular, opens ~11:00) or choose a variety of dishes at Siam Paragon food court — quick, central and convenient.
A brief 30-minute wander to see boutique shops, street art and cafés; reduced time keeps the day efficient while still sampling Siam’s vibe. Most shops open ~10:00–21:00.
Visit the huge Chatuchak Weekend Market on Saturday afternoon — ideal on 11 Oct since it’s a Saturday. The market is open roughly 09:00–18:00 on weekends, so aim for the afternoon to catch many stalls before closing.
Return toward Pratunam for a relaxed dinner of grilled seafood, pad thai or street snacks; vendors and restaurants around Pratunam operate from late afternoon into the night.
The city’s iconic royal complex and the Emerald Buddha. Arrive early to beat crowds; opening hours are typically 08:30–15:30. Dress modestly (shoulders and knees covered).
Historic Chinese quarter with markets, gold shops and daytime food stalls — vibrant both day and night, but late morning to early afternoon is good for exploring markets and shops.
Board the scheduled river cruise for 19:45–21:45, enjoying illuminated cityscapes and a relaxing ride on the Chao Phraya River. Confirm boarding location at Asiatique Warehouse 7–8 and arrive 20–30 minutes early.
Light breakfast at the hotel and transfer to Bangkok airport for an early morning flight to Krabi — domestic flights start early; allow 2–3 hours for transit and check-in.
Day trip visiting Maya Bay (photo stops), snorkelling at Loh Samah and beach time at Bamboo or Phi Phi Don; most trips run ~07:30–16:30/17:00 — bring sunscreen, water and a towel.
Early breakfast and check-out from Anyavee Aonang Bay Resort; prepare luggage for transfer to Phuket — typical travel time 2–3 hours depending on route.
Explore Banzaan Fresh Market near Jungceylon for fresh seafood and cooked-to-order stalls — the fresh market building is often open during the day and early evening (check local closing times), and the adjoining food stalls provide dinner-style options. Arrive earlier in the evening as the fresh-hall may close around 20:00–21:00; the nightlife stalls remain nearby.
Visit the Big Buddha for panoramic views and a calm atmosphere; site open approximately 06:00–19:00 and is best in the morning to avoid heat and crowds.
Opportunity to see and (where allowed) interact with tigers under supervision — opening hours generally ~09:00–17:30. Check current welfare standards and reviews before visiting.
