Railway market the train will not be in operation till early January, provided no further delay. Suggest you spend a night stay at Amphawa.

With only 4 days, seen impossible to add on any other places except the usual sight seeing (namely Grand Palace, Asiatique etc) ,shopping and makan at BKK.

p/s Amphawa only opens from Friday to Sunday.

Hotel would depend on many factors....chiefly, which area and what budget

yup, but the railway market now is under construction, so is closed.
cox read tripadvisor, many ppl kana cheated
so is best to ask the costing part properly
whether everything is included

Then it's time to visit thailand soon.
