Destination of the Night : Asiatique
How to go there : Take the BTS till Saphan Taksin station. Then follow the sign. There is free ferry service from this BTS station to Saphan Taksin.
Or
Take taxi is also a good choice as the queue for the free ferry ride is very long. On the day of my visit, I guess need 1 hour queue for this free ferry.

Asiatique is another new attraction at Bangkok and it is situated next to the Chao Phraya river. The place is renovated old warehouse and houses a lot of small shop that is quite similar to Jatujak Weekend Market. It is less hot compare to Jatujak thanks to higher roof and better air ventilation.
As you probably guess, this is a shopping location. Things here is generally pricier compare to Jatujak Weekend Market or the Platinum Shopping Mall. But then a usual shopping guide in Bangkok is, if that thing is something you really want, just bought it. It is very hard to walk around and hunt for the item you are particularly interested. Especially if looking for small shop in Jatujak, Platinum Fashion Mall and Asiatique.
There is also some nice restaurant here if you are interested for a dinner by the river experience.
I didn't spend much time here as I find the things do not interest me. So I went back hotel earlier that night.
