Our fourth day in Bangkok was a pretty busy one. First thing in the morning, we took a Bolt ride to the Darul Aman mosque in Ratchathewi to have breakfast. You can find rows of halal food stalls and restaurants around the area including the one where we had breakfast - Rotinies right next to the mosque. The basil chicken fried rice was good but the beef skewers was especially delicious.
From there, we initially took a bus from the guide on Google Map but seeing that it's not really going to our destination, we hop off and decided to take a Grab instead. The Grand Palace is one of the most popular/must visit place in Bangkok so we did not want to miss it even-thought the ticket price is 500 baht (RM67) each (kids under 120 cm go in free).
Under the hot afternoon sun, we get to see beautiful palaces and temples with elaborate decorations, huge mansions and halls, interesting statues and magnificent towers. Since it's hot, we just breezed through most of the attractions without spending too much time admiring them. The 500 baht ticket includes entrance to the Queen Sirkit textile museum, the Arts of the Kingdom Museum and the Khon Thai classical dance performance but we skipped all of that because we need to be on schedule to visit other places.
From the palace, we walked some 1 kilometer to the Tha Thian pier to take a small boat (5 baht each) to Wat Arun just across the river. Entrance to Wat Arun is 100 baht each and they will be raising the price to 200 baht next year. Wat Arun is a big monumental Buddhist temple right on the river, with an iconic, ornately tiled central prangs dotting the area. Some visitors will rent elaborate local costumes and take pictures around the temple. Like The Grand Palace, Wat Arun is one of the must-visit attractions in Bangkok.
From Wat Arun, we took another Bolt to the Chatuchak weekend market. A visit to Bangkok is never complete without visiting this famous market. You can find a lot of cheap clothes, shoes, (imitation) bags, kitchenware, souvenirs, decorations and food (including a few halal stalls). You will be spoilt for choice and be prepared to spend at least a thousand baht each at the market. Don't forget to try the coconut ice cream while you're there.
From the market, we took a train from Mo Chit to Siam station and walked to the MBK Centre mall. Another famous halal eatery in Bangkok is Yana Restaurant, located on the fifth floor of the mall. The food can be quite expensive but they are really-really good. I don't say this lightly but their tom yum with coconut milk is probably the best that I've ever tasted in my life. We paid 1800 baht for a dinner for six but it's worth every baht. The restaurant even gave us a voucher where you can claim a free t-shirt from a store downstairs.
