Bangkok, Thailand + Add a trip

sofitel winebar

located on one of the top floors of sofitel silom hotel is a wine bar with a fantastic view over the city and a good wine list as well as cigars.

Face Bar

Sip wonderful drinks while relaxing in the antique opium bed

Safari World

Safari World, Thailand’s greatest open zoo :) Covering over 200 acres and comprises of two main attractions - Safari Park and Marine Park. You may drive through the Safari Park, coming close to giraffes, zebras, lions, tigers and many other animals in their natural habitats. Best show programme - Orang Utan Boxing Show and Sea Lion Show :)

Best cultural experience in Bangkok (before breakfast)

Going for a jog around this park in the morning is a great way of seeing many unique sights - local people doing various exercises e.g. Tai Chi, Sword Dancing, Karaoke!

Eat Me

A restaurant kitchen open until 1am! An "art/restaurant' in a stylish warehouse space that manages to retain a sense of intimacy as well as a small terrace to hang out on balmy nights. Coupled with an inventive yet delicious menu and the best waitstaff to be had anywhere in BKK, this place beats the tourist trap destinations by far.

Jim Thomson House

River Taxi

If you want to take a long boat river taxi, don't immediately agree to go, leave it, and let them co-ordinate your trip with another group. Makes no difference to the journey but will almost certainly at least halve the cost and not only are the river taxi's a great way to travel they're almost certainly the quickest way north to south in Bangkok

Moving to Thailand....

Gonna move to Thailand for a bit longer period. Maybe coming back to Finland at summer... Maybe not.

Hiring one of the myriad of long boats for trip through back waters of Bangkok is a must - most people don't realise Bangkok is essentially a city built on water: you'll see a completely different side. Have to disagree with Stephen on this one: go by yourself or with 1 or 2 others only, as you get more flexibility to go and stop as you like

You won't see much about it in tourist information places but the Forensic Science Museum is fascinating (if you have a strong stomach!).

Find the Siriraj Hospital (the river ferry will stop right on it and it is hard to miss from there), then wander around until you see signs or someone who can point you in the direction (it is in the hospital grounds).

The museum has fascinating preserved body parts, murderers and even babies. Also worth seeing is the museum next to it about parasites and diseases.

As someone who has lived in Bangkok for 11 years, I always tell everyone that the first stop is the Grand Palace, near the river. It is actually a collection of royal buildings and temples, adjoining the famous Wat Pho (a major temple), and is simply the most colorful and interesting place in town.

As a regular runner, I second the comment about jogging in Lumpini Park.

Very beautiful and sacred Buddhist city. If you take a long boat along the river you can see the tops of the temples peeking out from the palace walls. Women must cover their arms and legs in order to enter the city. A very powerful experience.

You should visit Novotel

Go here on one of your first days in thailand. Otherwise you will be absorbed by everything else that goes on there, and by the time you have another chance to see it, you won't care anymore

I want require your advice to see what to select - your informative article or wholesale designer clothing - the seventh day should be exciting

I would say Lebua tower.. the roof bar, it is really amazing.
