]]> Among the many beautiful countries to visit in Southeast Asia, one of the most popular is Thailand. A backpacker’s dream, this country has been one of the trendiest places to travel to in the last decade. Not only is it incredibly cheap, but it offers so many wonderful activities for you depending on what you’re looking for. So what are the best cities to visit in Thailand?

Ko Pha Ngan

Although Ko Pha Ngan is more of an island than a city, it’s such a memorable place that we’ll allow it on this list. This island is particularly for travelers who want to party nonstop. It hosts the monthly Full Moon Party, which is the culmination of three other massive parties in the nights leading up to it. The best part? The beaches are literally beautiful, which is where most people go during the day.

Chiang Mai

If partying isn’t really the reason you’ve come to Thailand, Chiang Mai might be more your speed. In fact, there is a certain serenity that engulfs you as you walk through its streets. There are many religious sites to visit, delicious street food, and startling natural beauty to fall in love with.

Bangkok

The capital of Thailand is probably the closest thing to a real city. It’s more expensive than the aforementioned places, but it more than makes up for it with luxury and class. You can find pretty much anything there. If you’re looking for a more well-rounded experience, from nature to partying to fun activities, Bangkok is the way to go.

]]> Bangkok, Thailand, is one of the top tourist destinations in the world. But that doesn’t mean you need to act as a tourist during your visit. Instead, embrace the authentic experience by experiencing these non-touristy things.

Check Out a Muay Thai Event

Muay Thai, also known as Thai boxing, is considered the national sport of Thailand. Muay Thai events are happening all across the country on a weekly basis, and Bangkok is no different. Find a nearby event, buy a ticket, and see why the locals enjoy it so much.

Sathorn Unique Tower

If you are an architecture buff, you’ll love Sathorn Unique Tower. The construction of this abandoned skyscraper was halted in 1998 and never resumed. Some locals believe the place is haunted, but that shouldn’t stop you from checking it out.

Do a Biking Tour of the City

Bangkok is a great city for cycling. While on a bike, you can explore the city in a unique way and get some exercise while you are at it. Just make sure to be cautious of your surroundings and respect the signalization.

Experience the Street Food

Don’t waste your time or money in restaurants. Instead, hit the streets and check out the city’s amazing street food offerings. You’ll be able to enjoy tasty and unusual dishes and meet the Thai food culture in an authentic way.

]]> Bangkok, Thailand is the perfect mix of past and present with the ancient temples and Buddhist monks as well as modern shopping malls and the red light district. The capital of Thailand attracts millions of visitors a year and the food, culture, and historical landmarks are just a few of the reasons to travel to the city. Here’s what you should know before visiting Bangkok.

Best Time to Visit

November to March are the best times to visit Bangkok as the heat and humidity are at their lowest. Regardless of the time of year, the tropical climate of Thailand can bring temperatures up to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Bear in mind that monsoon season is from May until late September or early November.

How to Get Around

The best way to get around the city is by Skytrain or Metro. The city has buses, but it’s often for them to get stuck in traffic jams. Taxis are also an option and they’re cheap, but traffic jams are an issue as well.

Where to Stay

The Okura Prestige Bangkok

This 5-star hotel has three restaurants, a full-service spa, two lounges/bars, and an outdoor pool. There are 10 categories of Prestige accommodations to choose between.

The Siam

Another 5-star hotel option is The Siam which is smoke-free and has two restaurants, a marina, an outdoor pool, three acres of gardens, and a full-service spa. The hotel offers a free full breakfast as well as a free cruise terminal shuttle.

Amari Watergate Bangkok

Amari Watergate Bangkok is a 5-star hotel with a full-service spa and outdoor pool, and two restaurants. There are 564 rooms that have floor-to-ceiling windows for breathtaking views of the city.

What to Do

Wat Pho

The Temple of the Reclining Budha is known for its gold-plated “Reclining Buddha” sculpture. The Buddha is the largest reclining Buddha statue in Thailand at 151 feet long and 50 meters tall. The temple has 394 Buddhas, which is the most Buddhas in Thailand.

Chatuchak Weekend Market

This market is one of the biggest street markets in the world, sprawling more than 35 acres with over 15,000 shops and vendors. There’s everything from puppies and clothing to fruits and antiques. The market is spread into 27 sections, which can make it both overwhelming and exciting.

Grand Palace

This complex was once the residence of Thai kings, their royal courts, and branches of government. Within the palace, you’ll find ornate structures that have a mix of Thai and European-style architecture and the Wat Phra Kaew temple that’s home to a sacred emerald Buddha statue.

What to Eat

Som Tum

This papaya salad is one of the most special Thai dishes. It includes the moth watering ingredients of garlic, sugar, fish sauce, lime, tamarind juice, green papaya, carrots, chillies, peanuts, tomatoes, and sticky rice.

Pad Thai

We’re sure you’ve head Pad Thai before, but there’s nothing like Pad Thai from Thailand. You can find this dish at restaurants or markets and it’s made with rice noodles, chicken, beef, or tofu, peanuts, a scrambled egg, and bean sprouts.

Kaeng Mus Sa Mun

Massaman curry is one of the most popular curries in Thailand and it’s made with curry paste, potatoes, onions, and coconut milk, and chicken or beef and it’s served over rice.

]]> Compared to other famous tourist destinations, Bangkok, Thailand, isn’t considered expensive. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t save some extra money while there and put it aside for further travel. Check out some of the best ways you can explore this vibrant city on a budget.

Stay at Hostels

Hostels are probably the most budget-friendly type of accommodation you can find in Bangkok. They might not offer a lot of amenities, but you will have a place to sleep at night, and that is the only thing that matters.

Eat Street Food

This is one of the best ways to save money in Bangkok. The city’s street food is among the best in the world, and it is extremely affordable. You can also spend your entire trip eating at street food stalls and never have to eat the same dish twice.

Use Public Transportation

While it might take you a bit longer to reach your destination with public transportation, the amount of money you can save this way is impressive. Busses are significantly cheaper than taxis and tuk-tuks, so if you are not in a hurry, make sure to use them.

Avoid High-End Bars and Night Clubs

It is easy to spend a great night out in Bangkok without visiting high-end bars and nightclubs. These establishments usually target tourists as their clientele and charge high prices for even the most ordinary drinks like beer.

]]> Travelers are usually not too picky about the time of the year they visit destinations like Bangkok, Thailand. If you ask us, this is the right approach because you never know when you will get the opportunity again. However, if you happen to have an opportunity to make your pick, here is the best time of the year to visit Bangkok.

For Festivals: April

Those who wish to experience Thai culture and take part in famous Bangkok festival celebrations should go in April. This is when Songkran, or Thai New Year, takes place. It is considered the country’s biggest festivity, being celebrated for up to seven days with parades, water fights, and more.

For Budget Travel: June through October

If budget plays a big role, then we advise you to take the trip between June and October. This is when Bangkok and Thailand as a whole see fewer tourists, resulting in cheaper accommodations and services. The reason why not a lot of people visit during these months is the rainy and humid weather.

For Best Weather: November Through February

The best weather in Bangkok is from November through February. There is plenty of sun, but it never gets too hot. If you are traveling to see the major tourist attractions and get some suntan, this is the time of the year to do it.

]]> Bangkok is one of those bustling cities that will make you feel like you’re constantly in a rush to see everything, but there will come a moment when you’ll just want to sit back and relax. Once it does, you should head to one of the Thai capital’s beautiful parks, and these three are a good place to start.

Lumphini Park

This enormous green area covers 142 acres in the heart of Bangkok and it’s the city’s very first public parks. Artificial lake with boat rentals is one of its strongest suits, but you can also come here to go for a relaxing walk or a jog, go bird watching, or visit one of many public events organized in the park.

Chatuchak Park

One of the oldest public parks in the city, Chatuchak is best known for a big pond with flower beds on its premises. In addition to picturesque scenery, this park is a great place to enjoy a long list of recreational activities, and it’s especially popular with joggers and cyclists.

Benchasiri Park

If you have a soft spot for beautifully landscaped parks, Benchasiri will be your cup of tea. Its intricately landscaped area around the lake and many modern sculptures on its grounds are its main attractions.

This picture-perfect spot is located on the second level of the Central Embassy, the luxury mall in central Bangkok, filled with high-end designer stores and fine-dining restaurants. It opened in 2017, by the same creative masterminds behind Thai apparel brand Sretsis.

If you’re in the mood for the best tea party of your life, Sretsis Parlour is the place to be. While sipping on one of the fine teas from their menu, you can also enjoy delicious Thai desserts and cakes that look just as amazing as they taste.

Sretsis Parlour is serving some of the most Instagrammable sweet treats you’ll ever see, but that’s not even the main reason to visit it. Its interior will make you feel like you walked into a set of a fantasy film because each inch of the restaurant is covered with floral wallpapers, sophisticated furniture, and charming, pastel-colored dishes.

]]> Bangkok, Thailand’s vibrant capital city, is a growing tourist destination, and it’s easy to see why. This Asian megalopolis is full of temples, markets, and delicious street food and is a true pleasure for the senses.

Unfortunately, as is the case in many tourist hotspots, scams are all too common to come across and be a victim of in Bangkok. If you’re planning a visit to this city, keep your eyes peeled in order to avoid becoming a victim of these common scams.

Tuk Tuk Rides

Tuk Tuks are all over the city of Bangkok, with these mini auto-rickshaws often being hawked as a cheap and reliable transportation method. However, far too many tuk-tuk drivers charge exorbitant rates for their services, as there are no price controls. It’s better to take taxis or public transportation.

Ping Pong “Shows”

As strange as it seems, it’s way too easy to get roped into being taken upstairs at a popular bar to see a “ping pong show” where truly impressive table tennis players put on a show. The only problem is that they then demand money for playing, the bars charge you for exorbitantly-priced drinks, and it turns out to be a super expensive experience. Avoid it!

Fake TAT Shops

The TAT, or Tourism Authority of Thailand, is a reputable organization providing visitors to Thailand and Bangkok alike with information and promotional materials for tourist attractions around the country. However, if someone purporting to be from the TAT offers to sell you discounted tickets to an attraction, don’t believe them. This is a scam.

]]> The capital city of Thailand, Bangkok, is a sensory overload that features street food, haggling for goods, and a good time around every corner. What many people fail to realize about Bangkok, however, is its rich wealth of Buddhist temples which dot the modern city with beautiful, centuries-old pieces of architecture.

While you will undoubtedly find plenty to do during your trip to Bangkok, be sure to make time to stop at these three wats.

Wat Arun

A temple has stood at the location of Wat Arun for over 300 years, but the spectacular restoration of the temple which finished in 2017 has made this site more magical than ever. The massive 250-foot central tower towers above the Chao Phraya River over which it reigns.

Wat Benchamabophit

Wat Benchamabophit might be a mouthful to say, but it’s definitely worth a stop while in Bangkok. Known as “The Marble Temple,” you’ll find massive statues of marble dragons surrounding its ornate central temple.

Wat Pho

The largest Buddha images in all of Thailand are found at Wat Pho, including a massive 46 meter long structure of a reclining Buddha which is the highlight of a trip to Wat Pho. Its four marble towers and other various halls make this a place where you can get lost for hours.

Giglio Trattoria Fiorentina

If you’re in a mood for some delicious Italian food prepared by Chef Manuelo Pintore, head to the recently opened Giglio Trattoria Fiorentina. The restaurant has a great location and offers simple, classical Tuscan dishes like pici pasta, countryside ribollita, fresh salads, and many more.

He named the restaurant after his late grandmother and the whole place is a tribute to her memory. The dishes focus on traditional Thai cuisine. For now, the restaurant is open for only one group of 6-10 people per night.

This market is one of the biggest street markets in the world, sprawling more than 35 acres with over 15,000 shops and vendors. There’s everything from puppies and clothing to fruits and antiques. The market is spread into 27 sections, which can make it both overwhelming and exciting.

Grand Palace

This complex was once the residence of Thai kings, their royal courts, and branches of government. Within the palace, you’ll find ornate structures that have a mix of Thai and European-style architecture and the Wat Phra Kaew temple that’s home to a sacred emerald Buddha statue.

What to Eat

Som Tum

This papaya salad is one of the most special Thai dishes. It includes the moth watering ingredients of garlic, sugar, fish sauce, lime, tamarind juice, green papaya, carrots, chillies, peanuts, tomatoes, and sticky rice.

Pad Thai

We’re sure you’ve head Pad Thai before, but there’s nothing like Pad Thai from Thailand. You can find this dish at restaurants or markets and it’s made with rice noodles, chicken, beef, or tofu, peanuts, a scrambled egg, and bean sprouts.

Kaeng Mus Sa Mun

Massaman curry is one of the most popular curries in Thailand and it’s made with curry paste, potatoes, onions, and coconut milk, and chicken or beef and it’s served over rice.

]]> Compared to other famous tourist destinations, Bangkok, Thailand, isn’t considered expensive. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t save some extra money while there and put it aside for further travel. Check out some of the best ways you can explore this vibrant city on a budget.

Stay at Hostels

Hostels are probably the most budget-friendly type of accommodation you can find in Bangkok. They might not offer a lot of amenities, but you will have a place to sleep at night, and that is the only thing that matters.

Eat Street Food

This is one of the best ways to save money in Bangkok. The city’s street food is among the best in the world, and it is extremely affordable. You can also spend your entire trip eating at street food stalls and never have to eat the same dish twice.

Use Public Transportation

While it might take you a bit longer to reach your destination with public transportation, the amount of money you can save this way is impressive. Busses are significantly cheaper than taxis and tuk-tuks, so if you are not in a hurry, make sure to use them.

Avoid High-End Bars and Night Clubs

It is easy to spend a great night out in Bangkok without visiting high-end bars and nightclubs. These establishments usually target tourists as their clientele and charge high prices for even the most ordinary drinks like beer.

]]> Travelers are usually not too picky about the time of the year they visit destinations like Bangkok, Thailand. If you ask us, this is the right approach because you never know when you will get the opportunity again. However, if you happen to have an opportunity to make your pick, here is the best time of the year to visit Bangkok.

For Festivals: April

Those who wish to experience Thai culture and take part in famous Bangkok festival celebrations should go in April. This is when Songkran, or Thai New Year, takes place. It is considered the country’s biggest festivity, being celebrated for up to seven days with parades, water fights, and more.

For Budget Travel: June through October

If budget plays a big role, then we advise you to take the trip between June and October. This is when Bangkok and Thailand as a whole see fewer tourists, resulting in cheaper accommodations and services. The reason why not a lot of people visit during these months is the rainy and humid weather.

For Best Weather: November Through February

The best weather in Bangkok is from November through February. There is plenty of sun, but it never gets too hot. If you are traveling to see the major tourist attractions and get some suntan, this is the time of the year to do it.

]]> Bangkok is one of those bustling cities that will make you feel like you’re constantly in a rush to see everything, but there will come a moment when you’ll just want to sit back and relax. Once it does, you should head to one of the Thai capital’s beautiful parks, and these three are a good place to start.

Lumphini Park

This enormous green area covers 142 acres in the heart of Bangkok and it’s the city’s very first public parks. Artificial lake with boat rentals is one of its strongest suits, but you can also come here to go for a relaxing walk or a jog, go bird watching, or visit one of many public events organized in the park.

Chatuchak Park

One of the oldest public parks in the city, Chatuchak is best known for a big pond with flower beds on its premises. In addition to picturesque scenery, this park is a great place to enjoy a long list of recreational activities, and it’s especially popular with joggers and cyclists.

Benchasiri Park

If you have a soft spot for beautifully landscaped parks, Benchasiri will be your cup of tea. Its intricately landscaped area around the lake and many modern sculptures on its grounds are its main attractions.

]]> Bangkok, Thailand’s vibrant capital city, is a growing tourist destination, and it’s easy to see why. This Asian megalopolis is full of temples, markets, and delicious street food and is a true pleasure for the senses.

Unfortunately, as is the case in many tourist hotspots, scams are all too common to come across and be a victim of in Bangkok. If you’re planning a visit to this city, keep your eyes peeled in order to avoid becoming a victim of these common scams.

Tuk Tuk Rides

Tuk Tuks are all over the city of Bangkok, with these mini auto-rickshaws often being hawked as a cheap and reliable transportation method. However, far too many tuk-tuk drivers charge exorbitant rates for their services, as there are no price controls. It’s better to take taxis or public transportation.

Ping Pong “Shows”

As strange as it seems, it’s way too easy to get roped into being taken upstairs at a popular bar to see a “ping pong show” where truly impressive table tennis players put on a show. The only problem is that they then demand money for playing, the bars charge you for exorbitantly-priced drinks, and it turns out to be a super expensive experience. Avoid it!

Fake TAT Shops

The TAT, or Tourism Authority of Thailand, is a reputable organization providing visitors to Thailand and Bangkok alike with information and promotional materials for tourist attractions around the country. However, if someone purporting to be from the TAT offers to sell you discounted tickets to an attraction, don’t believe them. This is a scam.

]]> The capital city of Thailand, Bangkok, is a sensory overload that features street food, haggling for goods, and a good time around every corner. What many people fail to realize about Bangkok, however, is its rich wealth of Buddhist temples which dot the modern city with beautiful, centuries-old pieces of architecture.

While you will undoubtedly find plenty to do during your trip to Bangkok, be sure to make time to stop at these three wats.

Wat Arun

A temple has stood at the location of Wat Arun for over 300 years, but the spectacular restoration of the temple which finished in 2017 has made this site more magical than ever. The massive 250-foot central tower towers above the Chao Phraya River over which it reigns.

Wat Benchamabophit

Wat Benchamabophit might be a mouthful to say, but it’s definitely worth a stop while in Bangkok. Known as “The Marble Temple,” you’ll find massive statues of marble dragons surrounding its ornate central temple.

Wat Pho

The largest Buddha images in all of Thailand are found at Wat Pho, including a massive 46 meter long structure of a reclining Buddha which is the highlight of a trip to Wat Pho. Its four marble towers and other various halls make this a place where you can get lost for hours.

]]> Many cities have started opening restaurants again with caution and there are some brave people who’re opening new locations for the first time ever. If you happen to be in Bangkok, Thailand, soon here’s a short list of new dining places to check out.

Giglio Trattoria Fiorentina

If you’re in a mood for some delicious Italian food prepared by Chef Manuelo Pintore, head to the recently opened Giglio Trattoria Fiorentina. The restaurant has a great location and offers simple, classical Tuscan dishes like pici pasta, countryside ribollita, fresh salads, and many more.

Maze Dining

Chef Phattanant “May” Thongthong became famous for her run on Top Chef Thailand and Iron Chef Thailand. She has a successful restaurant in her hometown Chiang Mai and has recently opened Maze Dining in Bangkok. Her new restaurant is a perfect place and ready for new visitors!

Nusara

Chef Thitid “Ton” Tassanakajohn opened Nusara, a fine dining room just above Mayari Padthai, a wine bar he owns together with his sommelier brother. He named the restaurant after his late grandmother and the whole place is a tribute to her memory. The dishes focus on traditional Thai cuisine. For now, the restaurant is open for only one group of 6-10 people per night.
