Be very careful for your belongings in that market and camera is a strict no no.
Will need atleast one full day to just have round about in the market. |

I haven't visted thailand even once.
This was from my friends experience.
He was having a look at a Pygmy Marmoset and in the crowd he got a dash and realised his wallet gone, never to trace back. |

IMO you should drop plan to bring livestock from Thailand. Their laws are pretty strict regarding illegal movement of livestock out of their country without authentic procedure. Heard about many confiscation incidences at Bangkok airport without Livestock Health papers from local 'Animal Quarantine Station'. |

| It is almost impossible to get live fish back from Thailand. They are very strict. It also takes around a month or so to get the livestock certificate from the authorities. You can get plants. Maybe carry half in your luggage and post hte other half to yourself from there (just in case) |
