Day three is in the north and centre: Chatuchak by MRT Kamphaeng Phet and BTS Mo Chit, Baiyoke Sky in Pratunam, with the Pratunam clothes market at its foot. Remove any stop with the cross or drag it with ≡, and add another one nearby — the times recalculate. ## Chatuchak Weekend Market More than 15,000 stalls in 27 sections: clothes, ceramics, plants, antiques. Open Saturday and Sunday roughly 9:00–18:00; on Wednesday and Thursday only the plant section, on Friday some stalls. Cash, and haggling is normal. Come at opening time, before the heat. ## Is 3 days in Bangkok enough? Yes, with time to spare. A fourth day could be Ayutthaya or the floating markets. Bangkok is also the hub for the rest of the trip: [Chiang Mai](https://yesgo.io/thailand/chiang-mai) is about an hour's flight north, and [Pattaya](https://yesgo.io/thailand/pattaya) about two hours by road. ## Tips - Do Chatuchak on a Saturday or Sunday, by 9:00. - No flip-flops at Baiyoke Sky. - Temples want shoulders and knees covered — no vests or shorts; shoes come off at the door of the halls. Sarongs are often lent at the gate or for a deposit. - Thailand uses the baht (THB). Temples, markets, longtails and songthaews want cash; Grab and Bolt are the easiest taxis. - Bangkok traffic is heavy: the BTS and MRT beat taxis between districts. ## Questions ### What is a good 3-day Bangkok itinerary?
