A solo travel guide to Bangkok, off-the-beaten-path and free attractions

Having been to Bangkok many times, I recommend a route of off-the-beaten-path and free attractions. One can travel around the city by bus and subway alone. Accommodation is recommended on Khao San Road, which is a paradise for backpackers around the world. The accommodation is cheap and there are many hostels. It is the place with the highest cost performance in Bangkok. Standard rooms start at 100 yuan. Transportation is convenient, buses can transfer to the subway, reaching various urban attractions in Bangkok. Wat Suthat, you can depart from Khao San Road in the morning, go to Tha Tian Pier, take a one-yuan ferry to the opposite Zheng Wang Temple Station, and take the blue subway line directly to Wat Suthat. Wat Suthat is a newly popular attraction in Bangkok, with a 66-meter-high golden Buddha standing in the 400-year-old Wat Suthat. Admission is free. From Wat Suthat, take the BTS subway to the city center, where you can visit Bangkok's Chinatown, Erawan Shrine, Icon Siam and other downtown attractions. Chinatown is a gathering place for Chinese people, with many Chinese-style buildings, temples, and traditional foods from Fujian and Guangdong. ICON Siam is Bangkok's youngest and most fashionable creative mall. From Saphan Taksin subway station, you can take a ferry to get there. In the evening, take a free ferry from Saphan Taksin subway station to the Ferris Wheel Lakeside Night Market, where you can enjoy the sunset on the Mekong River on the ferry. From the Ferris Wheel Night Market, you can take a bus directly back to Khao San Road and stroll around the Khao San Road Night Market at night. If you have time the next day, it is recommended to take a bus to Talin Chan Floating Market, which is the nearest large floating market to Bangkok city. Here you can experience the traditional Thai floating market, sit on a boat to tour the market, and also experience boat noodles and other Thai delicacies.
