Yarn Lam: One of two vintage HK Starbucks, in a bing sutt decor, complete with melamine booth seats and old style “windows”. Entrance by the side of the building.
Yarn Lam: If you don’t wish to squeeze on the MTR with luggage, take airport express to Kowloon station and hop on the free K5 shuttle. First stop is The Cityview and it’s right outside the lobby.
Yarn Lam: Golden fried chicken chop topped with thick buttered toast, scrambled eggs and a melted slice of cheese on a pool of creamy mushroom sauce - what’s not to like? Comfort food to the max!
Buddhist Temple · พระบรมมหาราชวัง · 320 tips and reviews
Yarn Lam: Enter the hall when the tour groups aren’t around and the walk around the reclining Buddha is more pleasant. At Buddha’s feet you can walk around the outside walls to avoid the photo crowd.

Buddhist Temple · พระบรมมหาราชวัง · 254 tips and reviews
Yarn Lam: It’s crowded but it’s quick. Head in for a glimpse of the jade Buddha and take in the majesty of the hall and you can be off exploring the rest of the Grand Palace. Hats off before entering.
Yarn Lam: Crowded as it interchanges with BTS Asok. The ticket machines aren’t very touch responsive so this drags the transaction time, hence long queues.
Bubble Tea Shop · Central Region · No tips or reviews
Yarn Lam: Not too much ice and the lapsang souchong milk tea tastes like nothing from the mass market brands. Gentle hints of sweetness in the tea. I’ll pick this anytime.
Yarn Lam: Large, comfortable shop with variety of textiles for your suits and shirts. Good service and not too pushy with sales. Clothes can be done in 4 days.
Yarn Lam: It’s quite cramped so queue in single file. Get ready coins for the 4 baht ferry to Wat Arun to make your life easier than waiting for the lady to rummage for change in her basket.

Coffee Shop · พระบรมมหาราชวัง · 86 tips and reviews
Yarn Lam: Small and cosy place. Chill here in the evening after roaming around the Grand Palace area for a superb view of Wat Arun at sunset. You’ll get the view at indoors seating too.

Noodle Restaurant · 73 tips and reviews
Yarn Lam: The pepper is very spicy so order a small portion if you aren’t sure. It’s crazy eating this on a sweltering Bangkok evening. Pig innards and stomach well-prepared without the gamey smell.
Yarn Lam: This hidden place is fantastic. Great coffee and bar seats by the window watching the BTS and traffic go by. Meat sauce pasta was slightly overcooked though very tasty.
Yarn Lam: A movie experience like no other, be prepared for lots of shaking, flashing lights and whooshing gusts blown in your face. Wish the wind was warm instead of cold though. 55555
Yarn Lam: Short walk from Silom MRT or Sala Daeng BTS. Great tasting and inventive food from the chef. A casual and relaxed Chef’s Table, don’t expect anything too fancy.
