New World Lodge Hotel對我而言不理想處就是冷氣不夠強和沒有吹風機，一早醒後，只好再洗一次澡和洗頭(男生頭髮短可能沒有那麼多困擾吧!)，再去吃免費的Buffet早餐，回房收拾行李Check Out後背著背包前往大家極力推薦的Lamphu House(民宿)。兩周前利用Email預約了接下來三個晚上的房間，也因離Check In時間甚早，寄放背包後仍有時間認識周遭環境和打電話回家報平安。Check In後第一件事就是出門打打牙祭，Khao Shan Road上路邊小販隨處可見，先以Phad Thai和春捲做為午餐解決。接下來便招車前往恰都恰周末市場。
這次的招車是旅途中被騙的第一次(意思也就是不只一次啦)，和Taxi Driver說要去恰都恰周末市場，開了一陣子後，司機問說我們要去恰都恰1還是恰都恰2。這下子我可迷惑，不記得有人提到有兩個恰都恰啊!司機還說一個比較遠一個比較近。我只記得周末市場有個BTS站，跟司機指明要去Mo CHit BTS站的那個，地點對了，但司機說離開曼谷市區所以有另外surcharge 50 Baht，第一次聽到有點兒不知所措，和小民在車上討論後，還是坐這個司機的車，又開沒多久，他又問要不要走高速公路，但要另付過路費。之前看過大家說明知道過路費是乘客付是沒問題，但這樣子一趟下來到了恰都恰總共200 Baht，其實下車後也覺得有被騙的感覺(印象中大家說不到100 Baht)，但已到了目的地也不能如何。到達後第一件事就是到Information Centre拿地圖和問服務人員司機說的surcharge是否真有其事，當然得到否定的答案。下次應該要用威脅司機要把他的車號和名字記下來拿去問Tourist Police，看看能不能得到一定的嚇阻作用。
周末市場有點像放大版五分埔，但巷道狹多了，再加上店家沒有冷氣，可以想見人肉烤箱的效果。幸好中間有些咖啡店和涼水攤，不然可能無法撐下去。紀念品都可以在這裡買得到，但別忘了殺價。周末市場缺點是附近難叫計程車，住在捷運延線可能不會有這個困擾。
午餐經濟實惠，晚餐當然要奢華一下。在Khao Shan Road上的La Casa吃著Pizza看著來來往往稀奇古怪的背包客們，不時參雜著小販的叫賣聲，也是挺有趣的晚餐秀。吃飽喝足後補給點日常用品(洗髮精等)，再來個泰式按摩，一天的疲累一掃而空，曼谷就是個這麼奇妙的地方。

New World Lodge Hotel for me the most inconvenient part is air-con not strong enough and not providing hair dryer. After wake up I need to take another shower and wash my hair (for man, short hair, should not have this kind of feeling), then eat free buffet lunch, actually my brunch. We checked out and head to Internet highly recommended guest house – Lamphu House. We booked the room for 3 nights using email 2 weeks ago, after that, we still have plenty of time to familiarize the environment and call home for safe notice. Of course you will be attracted by the street food, so do we, take Phad Thai and Spring roll as our lunch on Khao Shan Road. Next take taxi to Chatuchak weekend market.
We are touted by the taxi driver. We told him we want to go to Chatuchak, he turned and ask us Chatuchak 1 or Chatuchak 2. This time totally confused we didn’t remember there are 2 Chatuchak in Bangkok, he also explained one is in the city, another is outside of Bangkok need to add 50B surcharge and hopped on freeway need the 40B fee. We only know the one near the BTS Mot Chit, yes, finally arrived the weekend market we want to go, and cost us 200B. When arrived in the weekend market information centre 1st thing is to make sure surcharge fee is need or not, of course, no such thing, when we took the taxi back to Khao Shan only need no more than 100B, really an tout experience. Next time remember to record his Name, and car number, threat him I will report to tourist police.
Weekend market is very similar to Taiwan五分埔, but street much narrow and most stores don’t have air conditioning, you can imagine as human in the oven. Fortunately there are some coffee shops and drinks stalls, we can take a rest inside of it. You can buy your souvenirs here, don’t forget to bargain. Another drawback is difficult to take taxi, if you live near the BTS, it will not be a problem to you.
Lunch is economic, Dinner must be luxury. Eat pizza in La Casa (on Khao Shan Road), have a live dinner show of street stalls shouting and backpackers walk by, it is really interesting. Next have a Thai Massage and grocery shopping, what a wonderful place.
