Hotels
Great hotel in the middle of Siam! Walking distance to most of the big shopping centres plus lots of bars, restaurants, cafes etc. Not far from the metro either.
HOUSE OF PAPA BANGKOK SIAM
Beautiful hotel in Bangkok - around 20 minutes from the metro. Close proximity to the hustle and bustle of Siam as well as the river front. Beautiful hotel, nice breakfast and cool rooftop bar that also had a drag show on when we stayed!
Dusit D2 Samyan Bangkok
Nice hotel near the blue metro line which is handy for the airport as well as travel around the city. The hotel was nice with quirky decor! The rooms are a good size and there's lots of communal space. The metro is around 20 minutes walk but the hote...
MeStyle Museum Hotel
Things to do
Great place to see right on the Chao Phraya river. Lots to do including shopping, dining etc. There's also a large Jurassic World exhibit you can visit!
Asiatique The Riverfront
Something different to do while in Bangkok. Great family friendly activity and nice way to escape the heat and experience Jurassic World.
Jurassic World: The Experience
The one and only place to experience Muay Thai in Bangkok
Muay Thai Match at Rajadamnern Stadium, Bangkok
Great way to experience the city and visit multiple attractions in one day! We've used this several times in Bangkok and it's always been good
Chao Phraya River Double-Decker Hop-on Hop-Off Boat, Bangkok
There is nothing better than a Thai massage after a long day exploring
Makkha Health and Spa Heritage Asoke Experience in Bangkok
Another great massage venue!

Perfect way to see all of the top attractions in Bangkok without having to navigate the metro or the heat!

Such a cool way to experience a more local way of life! Plus lots of great photo opportunities

Two of the most popular temples in Bangkok - great experience to see both in person!
Wat Pho and Wat Arun Half Day Walking Tour
This is such a popular activity in Bangkok!! You'll see lots of people walking around in the beautiful, intricate traditional outfits and posing for photos at the temple. The photographers really know how to get the best shots so it's definitely wort...
Thai Costume Photoshoot at Wat Arun: Bangkok, Thailand
Thai food is honestly unmatched in my opinion so a 4-hour food tour sampling some of the best dishes hand-picked by locals sounds heavenly
Bangkok Samyan 4-Hour Small Group Street Food Tour
Beautiful park in the centre of the city - also connects to nearby Lumphini park with the sky bridge!
Benjakitti Park
Great big green space that's popular with locals and even has big dance groups in the evenings! Connects to Benchakitti via the skywalk bridge
Lumphini Park
This place is an absolute treasure trove! You can find most things here from clothing, homewares, souveniers, fragrance, food, drinks and even massage parlours! I've found some great things wandering around here but it does get really busy so be prep...
CHATUCHAK WEEKEND MARKET
Food & Drink
Wowwww this place is so good! The crab omelette and coconut dessert are a must try
Hereduan Street Food (เฮียด่วน)
Really popular restaurant famous for all of their crab dishes
Here Hai (Original shop)
You'll be able to spot this place easily by the massive crab on the front of the restaurant!
บ้าน ยำ-ตำ 20 by น้องแหวนซีฟู๊ด
Queued out the door every time I've visited! Famous for their banana creme brulee ice cream
Ice Cream Samosorn

Amazing little jazz bar
Alonetogether Bangkok
Located inside Central World shopping centre but don't let that fool you - this place is AMAZING
Kub Kao' Kub Pla
Areas to explore
Great place to go if you're interested in shopping as you'll find several centres all within walking distance of one another! Siam square is a great area to walk around and explore some lesser known brands. There are lots of cafes, bars, restaurants,...
Siam Area
This area has become super popular in recent years! It's close to Chinatown and the river but feels like you're somewhere completely different. Imagine lots of little alleys filled with boutique shops, independent coffee shops and street art.
Talat Noi
Similar vibe to Talot Noi, Song Wat is located in China Town and has skyrocketed in popularity recently! There's more to see and do here compared to Talot Noi and well worth visiting
Song Wat Bangkok
Probably the busiest and most hectic area of Bangkok! There's so much happening here and it really never stops. Personally, not my vibe but a good base if you want to be central to everything!
