Soi cowboy is a starter for ten of you’re into that sort of thing if it’s for culture etc which I suspect then boat trip up the chaophraya river and get off at 1. Wat phra 2. Grand palace 3. Wat pho Use the sky train to get about for comfort but for something a bit different use the water taxis which are great fun Good places for Eating are all over the place used to be some cracking street food vendors along soi 11 sukhumvit but when I was last there they had been moved in due to the redevelopment for something really nice with great views and upmarket try vertigo at the banyan tree the food courts at the various malls are good for lunch particularly amarin for good authentic cheap food and mbk also has a great food court also get yourself along to Rachada rot fai train night market.

Mannyroader Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Nana Entertainment Plaza on Sukhumvit Soi 4 is an eye opening night time experience for what Bangkok is famed for. Nana has a Skytrain station. Khao San Road is an expat hangout for a less thrilling experience but has well priced bars and food and plenty of live music. During the day nearby are the touristy temples and palaces already mentioned. Prepare to be overwhelmed by Chinese tour groups and their flag toting guides. More daytime culture at Jim Thompson House. Guided tour tells you a great back story. Good way to spend a couple of hours. Taxi will get you there. River City is an arty complex with special exhibits forever changing. After, get the free ferry and cross the river to Icon Siam mall, the final word in opulent shopping. It's better than Crompton Place. Finally, spend an hour or 2 strolling round Chinatown and sample the food if you like; cheap or pricey is available. When using a taxi make sure the meter is on. Best Thai beer is Leo. Chang is fine, Singha isn't. It goes without saying plenty of luscious eye candy wherever you are. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( see what i did) Khoa San Road for a bit of a party. Pick a hotel near here as it’s easier to get around. do the palace and boat trip. It’s a great place. A bit hectic but good fun.
