Whether you are searching for some local flavor, or need the comforts of home every once in a while, enjoy exploring the wonders of Bangkok! Ride the tuktuk and grab a fresh coconut! *AJB
@JaumePrimero: Chatuchak deserves a second look in the evening! The vibe completely changes here, and there are a number of cool dive bars to grab a beer and hang with the locals.
@JaumePrimero: This hotel is such a great value for the price. Upgrading doesn't put a strain on your budget, the brunch is amazing, and the location puts your right in the middle of everything.
@JaumePrimero: Besides the fact that this is one of the best hotels in Bangkok, they have the most delicious mango sticky rice I have ever tasted anywhere in Thailand!
@JaumePrimero: This location is right next to the Ritz Carlton Residences, and subway accessible. If you are looking for all the comforts of home, you will be in good hands here!
Bang Phae-Damnoen Saduak Rd, ดำเนินสะดวก, จังหวัดราชบุรี
Floating Market · 215 tips and reviews
@JaumePrimero: The market opens early in the morning at 7am and closes at noon. You can charter a boat for around 150 Baht per person per hour once you enter the area. I recommend hiring a car to drive you there!
@JaumePrimero: There are so many things to see at this outdoor market on the outskirts of Bangkok. One my fondest memories is the frozen coconut ice creams they sell in the shell.
@JaumePrimero: This market is amazing, but it is only open on Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 12pm to 8pm. The O-Liang is delicious if you are a coffee lover.
@JaumePrimero: Cicada is a unique outdoor art market you must visit while in Bangkok. It is divided into four venues, and showcases local talent in the art and fashion communities. They also have great food!
Na Phra Lan Rd (Maha Rat Rd & Sanam Chai Rd), พระนคร, กรุงเทพมหานคร
Palace · 426 tips and reviews
@JaumePrimero: Make sure you only deal with Taxis that are metered! Plan on spending at least half a day here, there is so much to see including the Green Buddha.
Buddhist Temple · พระบรมมหาราชวัง · 321 tips and reviews
@JaumePrimero: If you there is one temple to see besides the Grand Palace, Wat Pho is the one to go to. If the POTUS came here during his visit to Bangkok, that's gotta be a good sign!
@JaumePrimero: I have returned over and over again to this casual Thai joint and have never been disappointed. The green papaya salad and the fried chicken are so good! Be prepared to wait for a seat!
@JaumePrimero: If you don't want anything adventurous when it comes to food in Bangkok, Greyhound touts itself as a fashion cafe and is spreading like wildfire all over Asia. Nothing innovative, but a safe bet.

Gastropub · Lumphini · 166 tips and reviews
@JaumePrimero: You will not find a better team of mixologists in Bangkok. They take great care to construct a thoughtful cocktail menu, and it shows in the delivery! They make a great dark and stormy!

Mediterranean Restaurant · 172 tips and reviews
@JaumePrimero: Sirocco is arguably Bangkok's most coveted dining reservation, with sweeping views of the city and the Chao Phraya river. If you are afraid of heights I wouldn't come here for dinner!
Thai Restaurant · Thung Wat Don · 95 tips and reviews
@JaumePrimero: I spent a lot of time eating street food in Bangkok, but this restaurant is simply amazing. Authentic food, great service, would definitely go back!
@JaumePrimero: The Sukhothai is an oasis in the heart of Bangkok. Centrally located, atmosphere that will take your breath away, and the highest level of service. They have a noteworthy brunch poolside.

@JaumePrimero: I'm a huge fan of the Banyan Tree. The spa here has a wide variety of treatments and is widely considered one of the finer spas in SE Asia.
@JaumePrimero: This market is impressive and highly regarded as one of the best in the world. It's a great place to visit when you plan your trip to Chatuchak Weekend Market.
@JaumePrimero: Having visited a number of restaurants in SE Asia, I am so impressed by the values and dedication to culinary excellence at Bo.lan. Order the Bo.lan balance menu!

@JaumePrimero: If you spend some time at CentralWorld shopping, Red Sky is adjacent to the mall in the hotel. Head up to the 55th floor for a drink and checkout the ridiculous view!

Night Market · 232 tips and reviews
@JaumePrimero: Plan a day trip to Cicada then end the night in the Hua Hin market. The street food rocks here, and I also picked up a few t-shirts as well. Great shopping on the cheap.
@JaumePrimero: Congrats, you have found the right place for renting a speedboat to Koh Lan. I recommend chartering your own private boat so you can come and go as you please!
@JaumePrimero: I love the ladies that run the Thai cafe on the shore! Love the fresh coco water, everyone is friendly, and you can rent a jetski for an hour if you want to take a ride in the crystal clear water.
