The outskirts

Map

A handful of places on the outskirts of the city make enjoyable outings, in particular the enormous Chatuchak Weekend Market, where you could browse away an entire day among the thousands of stalls selling everything from handmade paper to bargain-priced sarongs. Much further out, the finely crafted replicas of traditional Thai buildings at Muang Boran Ancient City are recommended for anyone who hasn't got the time to go upcountry and admire Thailand's temples and palaces in situ.
