ndy night market Lad Phrao is about 20 minutes north of downtown Bangkok in the Chokchai 4 (Chokchai see as the Thais call it) area of Lad Phrao. The market is a place to try some local Thai street food as well as spend an evening shopping. the upcoming expansion of the yellow line BTS is just a few hundred meters from the entrance to the market. There is also an open air street market right next to Soi Lad Phrao that you can stop and enjoy the local market full of Thai street food.
It’s one of at least 3 Indy Markets in Bangkok thst I know about. It’s much smaller and quieter than the others but that may change with the future development in the area.
Wat Dusittharam is located off the city island in the northeastern area. The temple is still an active temple.
Wat Dusittharam earns its name from the Sanskrit word "Tush" meaning "to be content" or "that in which all desires are satisfied". It is referring to the "Tushita Heaven", the "joyful heaven or the heavens of the joyous", the fourth Deva heaven above the earth in which the almost perfect beings, about to become Buddhas, pass their last angelic life before being born on earth to assume the Buddha hood.
The monastery's area is large, with an old and a new section. In the old part we find a large chedi, a vihara and an ordination hall or ubosot. The modern part consists of new modern monastic structures.

Taling Chan Floating Market is a small market built on the banks of a local Klong (canal). It was founded in 1987 and has become a part of the local community.
In Thailand markets are part of the fabric of life, from morning fresh food markets to evening markets that seem to cover city blocks, shopping and food are necessities for Thai culture. One of the popular things to do is to take the family to a floating market to eat and shop from the locals.
Taling Chan Floating Market is just a short trip for people from Bangkok to escape the city and enjoy the market. About 30-45 minutes outside of downtown Bangkok it’s an easy trip to experience a great part of Thai culture.
In addition to food people can take boat tours on the canals and see more of the area. Worth a trip for anyone that has a half a day to spend making great memories.

The temple was built during the Ayutthaya period. On founding the new city at Thonburi in 1767, some brick structures of the temple were disassembled and the brick removed for use in the construction of the new city wall.
During the reign of King Rama I (1782–1809), the Crown Prince Chim (later King Rama II) attempted to rebuild this abandoned temple, but the construction was not completed because of the war with Burma. The work was not undertaken again until 1851 when King Rama IV (1851–1868) ...
