507 Reviews The Grand Palace is a must see in Bangkok. For 150 years the Palace complex was home to the King and also the entire government, including the country's war ministry, state departments, and the mint. Thai Kings stopped living in the palace full time around the turn of the twentieth century, but...
146 Reviews We went to Damnoen Saduak floating markets as part of a private tour with a company called We Tour Thailand, they are a fantastic Bangkok based company and we will not hesitate to use them again. We had our own new minivan, driver and very knowledgeable guide called Bobbie. As luck would have it we...

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,...
236 Reviews Nice things to escape from the traffic around BKK is using BTS. You just have to know where you want to stop, which zone is it , and buy the ticket according to that. there's only 2 line, so not too confusing for first timer. You just tap the card t othe platform, and when you exit to your...
153 Reviews Taxis in Bangkok are very colorful and I see more pink colored taxis around the city. Not all Thai taxi drivers know how to speak English but they can still help you to reach your destination. Also, I guess all taxis are metered now. When we’re in Bangkok, we rode the taxis and all used their...
122 Reviews If you are in Bangkok, then you must go to MBK, it is an extremely popular shopping centre with tourists and locals, you will probably find yourself back there quite a few times as well! There are over 2,000 shops and 130 eating establishments over eight floors selling everything from clothes to...
120 Reviews There are a lot of beautiful home furnishings that you will find here. Unfortunately, they will not fit in your luggage. Don't worry, you will find a lot of door-to-door courier providers with stalls in the market who will weigh, pack, and ship your goods directly to you home. And their rates are...
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...
40 Reviews Just back from Bangkok. This is my third trip there and just like everyone there, I have encountered my share of the taxi scams there. But I have to said that there are still many good and honest drivers around beside the bad eggs I have met. My past experiences taught me how to handle the rogue...
42 Reviews When I take a meter aircon taxi from Hualamphung railway station to my hotel, it cost me, depending on traffic, between 60 and 75 Bath. When I ask a Tuk-Tuk driver hw much he will charge me, they usually ask 200, and never less than 150 Bath. (March 2012)
45 Reviews Just be careful with Image Limousine Service (www.imagelimousine.com) The Customer Service is not the same anymore. They drive not with the new Nissan Teana, they would drive also with older Toyota Camry and Drivers who make Mobile-Phonecalls all the time. Really unbelievable! Very disapointed. They...
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...
22 Reviews when travelling with group, check in one bag only and the rest should only bring carry on baggage ou should select clothing which can be mixed and matched: colors which coordinate and layers which can be varied for look and comfort. 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...
