48 Reviews The restaurant changed a lot. from what it was before 10yrs ago. they are more focused on decorating with condoms to attract the tourist ''customer'' and putting condoms on celebrity statues. But I am concerned about the food taste and quality and costumer service. i always stop over at cabbages and...
72 Reviews Tourist should beware when in Pat Pong district. I was travelling with my wife and we were offered to watch one of the adult shows just for 100Baht each and we could leave if we didnt want to continue. We took the offer and stayed for around 5 minutes ordering 2 sodas. The we were being charged...
20 Reviews The Nana Plaza is a 3 story area with a courtyard setting. The area is filled to the rim with girlie bars, go-go bars, ladyboy bars and the general seedy atmosphere for somebody who is into this sort of thing and would like some company for the night. Personally, I was almost turned off by the gals,...
235 Reviews There are sub stations all around Bangkok for the BTS. It only costs from 20 to 40 Baht to go to most of the main attractions. It is fairly easy to follow the route, but do not be afraid to ask the people at the window where you get tokens. I must admit I got lost once or twice, but at the end of...
152 Reviews There have been several negative comments about taxis in Bangkok lately. Here are some helpful suggestions: There have been some comments on the website about Bangkok taxi drivers. I have had few problems with them. Make sure they start the meter and make sure they understand that BEFORE you get...
123 Reviews MBK is located on Phayathai Road, near Siam Tower and Hard Rock Cafe .... The multi-storey MBK is probably Bangkok's most legendary shopping mall, popular with both tourists and locals. Eight floors packed with 2,000 shops that sell everything from clothing, fashion accessories, handbags, leather...
119 Reviews These Thai pillows are comfortable. The shop sells lots of thai pillows. pillows are cheap here. silk cover is more expensive than cotten ones, more cusion, more money, and heavier it gets. min. 1300Baht (they told me that was wholesale price) for silk covered, 3 fold cusion pillow. around 500Baht...
17 Reviews In most Asian countries it's common to understand the remains of British influence, in the students' dress code. In Bangkok we saw a parade with students using traditional costumes and some uniformity, but not so rigorous and classical as in India, for instance. I don't know what they were...
38 Reviews I have travelled too and within Thailand for twenty years now. I love the country and the people there. Like everywhere there are good and bad people. The first lesson I learnt about Taxis is only use a metered one. If you are booking one from a reputable hotel ask at the reception desk if can thay...
40 Reviews Be warned of tuk-tuk touts that seems very helpful at tourist spots offering you advise and tips. They would tell you the current tourist spot is close and advise you to go to an alternative location. Case 1: Arrived at Grand Palace via Taxi and was approached by the tuk-tuk touts was told the...
44 Reviews I was told to beware of taxi drivers in Bangkok as they try to negotiate a fee instead of running on the meter. I took a taxi from the Hotel Intercontinental to the airport and the driver tried to ask me to pay 400 baht but I asked him to put on the meter but he kept saying that it was a "hotel...
49 Reviews I really haven't tried to book online for a place in where we can stay when we arrived in Bangkok, because I thought at that time that it's dangerous to enter your credit card number in the internet... well, i was wrong. We planned to ride in a airport bus to get to Sukhumvit and then just find a...

To minimize the amount of clothing needed, you should plan to wash...
19 Reviews a bag with wheels, its a bit of a hassle carrying your bags around on your shoulder all day umbrella, loose cotton clothing it can be very hot and humid but it all there, it is so cheap whatever you have packed in your suitcase, take most of it out and buy it there in Bangkok it is so cheap.
9 Reviews When we arrived at Bangkok (our last visit July 2006) my brother handed us over a paper where he had written down the Thai name of LUMPHINI - SATHOR. Our hotel was located in that area, and we had to speak the LUMPHINI in a special pronunciation, that is not in an English or Dutch way. We got to our...
15 Reviews Go to the Lumpini stadium to watch some bouts of Muay Thai boxing (the national sport). Quite different from any sporting atmosphere you will experience in the west. The Thais love to bet on the outcome and will shout odds between contests.
11 Reviews When I was in Bangkok, I got caught in a horrible downpour. Having an umbrella didn't help me at all. I was wet up to my waist. Sure my head and shoulders were dry, but that was it. Unfortunately, I can't think of anything that will keep you dry short of wearing full body rain gear. My suggestion is...
