FAQ
Is 4 days enough for Bangkok?
Yes — it covers the temples, markets and river. Add a day trip to Ayutthaya or a floating market.
When is Chatuchak open?
The main market runs on weekends, so plan that day for a Saturday or Sunday.
How do we split costs as a group?
Bangkok street food and markets like Chatuchak are mostly cash in baht, and local ATMs often charge foreign cards a fee, so one person tends to withdraw for the group. Add this plan as a trip in Tripwith, invite your friends, and log those cash runs, Grab rides and meals, and Tripwith works out who owes who.
