Reviews Sampheng Market
As Bangkok's largest amulet market, Sampheng Market is a must-visit for amulet collectors. The best time to visit is from morning to early afternoon when most stalls are open. It's conveniently located just a few minutes' walk from Wat Phra Kaew.
Running parallel to Yarawat Road, this narrow laneway is a bustling marketplace where you can find hair and beauty products, hats, jewelry, makeup, toys, clothes, food, and various accessories. Many shops offer wholesale deals, making it ideal for bulk purchases.
Sampheng Market, nestled in the alleys of Chinatown in Bangkok, offers a retail haven with a variety of items such as accessories, toys, and shoes. Many shops are equipped with air conditioners, providing a comfortable shopping experience regardless of the weather.

Siri Guru Singh Sabha Gurdwara Chinatown Self-Guided Walking Tour
I visited the Siri Guru Singh Sabha Gurdwara while in Bangkok. Although I've never been to India, this temple felt like a unique and interesting experience. However, it didn't quite have the ambiance of a religious institution; it felt more like a government building or palace to me.
