Some free things to do in Bangkok to get more bang for your baht (泰铢).
Chatuchak Weekend Market
One of the largest markets in the world, Chatuchak is a simply unforgettable Bangkok experience, even if you don’t plan on buying anything. It’s free to visit and there are more than 15,000 stalls to explore from antiques and souvenirs to used trainers, miniature (微缩模型) food offerings for spirit houses and live frogs.
The full market operates from 9 am to 6 pm on Saturday and Sunday. You’d better arrive by 10 am to beat the crowds and the heat.
Papaya
Technically, many of the objects in this celebrated four-story antique store are for sale, but prices for the owner’s collection of 19th- and 20th-century artifacts are so astronomically high that the collection never seems to exhaust. Instead, many see Papaya as a museum of recent nostalgia (怀旧), and it’s a great place to browse without any pressure to buy.
Bangkok Doll Factory & Museum
This workshop was founded by Thai doll enthusiast Khunying Chandavimol in 1956 after she completed a doll-making course in Japan. Her dolls draw on Thai mythology and various historical periods, and the collection includes some 400 dolls from around the world, plus important pieces from her own workshop, where you can watch the figures being crafted by hand for free.
The museum is tricky to find; take a taxi from BTS Phaya Thai and get the driver to call the museum for directions.
Chinatown
Thick with the scent of traditional herbal medicines, Bangkok’s Chinatown offers a sensory experience that you won’t find anywhere else in the city. The narrow market alleys off Yaowarat Road are crammed with (塞满) bird’s-nest soup restaurants, dangling lanterns, gaudy gold and jade shops, and flashing neon signs in Chinese characters. It is Bangkok’s most crowded neighborhood, where half the fun is in getting completely lost.

In order to celebrate the recent publishing of the Bravofly Travel Guide to Germany, this week we list four cities in Germany you have to take time to visit.
Hannover
On the River Leine, Hannover is the country's greenest city with a number of recreation areas, parks and forests to explore. Also it's known as “ the city of museums”, so you have to check out world famous information centers such as the Sprengel Museum, and other museums to get the true Hannover experience.
Dresden
Located near the border with the Czech Republic, Dresden is a city that has suffered from the bombing that nearly destroyed it in 1945 with its unique character largely undamaged. Check that character out for yourself by visiting one of its many iconic(象征性的) structures, such as the Frauenkirche, Zwinger Palace and Brihl's Terrace, to learn about one of Europe's most fascinating cities.
Stuttgart
Jump over the border from France for a few hours and visit the city of Stuttgart in Southwest Germany. You won't regret it! There are a ton of things to do in Stuttgart, but if you're a true car enthusiast(爱好者), there's only one place you need to go—the Mercedes-Benz Museum! Other highlights(最突出的部分)include the splendid Fernsehturm Stuttgart telecommunications tower and the fascinating Linden Museum.
Nuremberg
If you're a true history fan, there's only one place in Germany you need to take time to visit -Nuremberg.
