One of the biggest tourist attractions in Bangkok, Thailand is the endless pirated and counterfeit goods on sale in Bangkok markets and places like Sukhumvit Road and Khaosan Road where Bangkok tourists love to shop. When travelers go to Thailand they often bring back travel souvenirs that include, Louis Vuitton luggage, Gucci bags, Lacoste shirts, Tommy Hilfiger jeans and other rip-offs of popular famous name brands. The counterfeit goods industry is so big in the East that it was only a matter of time before The Museum of Counterfeit Goods was opened in Bangkok, Thailand.

The Floating Market is a prime example of how old Thailand blends with new Thailand. All along the Damneon Saduak Canal, vendors paddle long, narrow canoe-like boats filled with produce and other food items. This popular tourist attraction was made famous by being featured in a James Bond movie in the 1960s and is a fun shopping experience for tourists and locals alike because you have to flag the boat drivers down in order to make a purchase.

Bangkok is a restless and chaotic metropolis and an essential part of a trip to Thailand. Although not everyone’s cup of tea, the culture-shock inducing capital has some incredible places of interest that you would be foolish to miss. The impossibly bejewelled Grand Palace should really be visited and if you have time, take a trip to Wat Arun (one of the oldest and best known landmarks in Bangkok) and Wat Po which is home to a huge reclining Buddha.

Asia’s most popular tourist destination, Thailand has a reputation for hedonism which attracts thousands of backpackers and its natural beauty attract an increasing amount of holiday-makers. It’s a mystical country which always seems to leave a life long impression on anyone who visits. It offers a rich history, smiling locals, some interesting quirks and of course an unforgettable experience.
