A travel guide for Bangkok

There must be a good reason why Thailand's capital city consistently ranks among the most visited cities in the world year after year. Is it perhaps the local cuisine that tourists appreciate so much? Does it have something to do with the excellent tourism services and Thai hospitality? Or is it rather the warm hospitality with which the Land of Smiles captivates its visitors?

Bangkok, the "City of Angels" (Krung Thep Maha Nakhon), is everything a cosmopolitan metropolis should be. With an area of ​​1,568 square kilometers, it is similar in size to London, one of its main competitors in the ranking of the world's most visited cities. Bangkok has over ten million inhabitants, while the greater Bangkok metropolitan area is home to over 16 million people according to the 2020/21 census.

As a tourist destination, Bangkok constantly showcases its multifaceted identity. The city is rich in historical and cultural heritage and simultaneously exudes a vibrant street life that has secured its firm place on the world map.

Since Bangkok is bisected by the Chao Phraya River, riverside life has always held an irresistible allure. Rattanakosin Island and the Old City are popular tourist destinations, attracting millions with their charming architecture. Numerous newly opened bars and street food stalls make Bangkok an incredibly diverse travel destination that delights tourists and locals alike. Even regular visitors are constantly surprised by how much new there is to discover day and night. The shopping experience in Bangkok, with its world-famous department stores and street markets, is an unforgettable pleasure.

Bangkok is a major Asian air traffic hub thanks to its ideal geographical location. Suvarnabhumi Airport has been expanded to handle up to 40 million additional passengers per year. Long-term plans aim to increase the airport's capacity to 150 million passengers annually by 2030, enabling 120 flights per hour. This expansion makes Bangkok easily accessible and offers convenient connections throughout Asia and the world. From here, you can reach any destination in Thailand and continue your exploration of the country.

Bangkok, founded in 1782, was inscribed on the UNESCO Creative Cities list in 2019. With an average temperature of 28.1°C, it welcomes visitors year-round and has long been considered one of the best places for the LGBTQ+ community. Bangkok has received numerous tourism awards and accolades and welcomed approximately 22.7 million international visitors in 2019. The city continues to delight visitors with new tourist attractions and maintains its status as one of the most visited cities in the world.

locomotion

Like all major cities, Bangkok has various modes of transportation. The best way to explore the city center is by using the Skytrain (BTS) and the subway (MRT). These two public transport systems operate from 6:00 a.m. to midnight. Their constantly expanding network covers the main locations in downtown Bangkok, the suburbs, and the surrounding areas in the provinces. A day ticket for the BTS costs 140 baht (approximately US$4.13).

The fare for a metered taxi starts at 35 baht (US$1.03), and Bangkok's taxis remain among the cheapest in the world. Tourists often try a tuk-tuk ride at least once. Be sure to negotiate the price beforehand and use tuk-tuks primarily for shorter distances.

Those wishing to explore the Chao Phraya River have many options. Thanks to a well-developed canal system, boats and ferries offer a convenient way to get around Bangkok – also known as the Venice of the East.

The Chao Phraya Express Boat Company operates the river ferry. You can find the timetable and a map on their website. What looks complicated at first is actually very easy.

For visitors with limited time, a ride on the tourist boat is a great option, one of the most popular ways to experience the history of Los Angeles. The guided tour covers the route between Thaksin Bridge and Phra Athit Pier. A single ride costs 40 baht (approximately $1.18 USD), or a day pass is available for 150 baht (approximately $4.43 USD). Boats operate between 6:00 AM and 7:00 PM.

Things to do in Bangkok

This weekend market, a true shopper's paradise, offers almost everything your heart desires. Affectionately called "JJ" by locals, it's one of the largest open-air markets in the world with its 15,000 stalls. You can buy just about anything here. The goods are sorted by category: clothing, accessories, decorative items, books, and plants. If you know the market map, you can go straight to your favorite section or simply wander around. Getting lost is not uncommon; even locals do it.

The weekend market is open from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM and can be reached by Skytrain from Mo Chit station. You can also take the metro and get off at either Kamphaeng Phet or Chatuchak station, depending on which market area you want to visit.

The market is a paradise for shopping enthusiasts, but not for those who dislike the sun and heat. However, there are some wonderful cafes where you can cool off during and after shopping.

Sense Aroma in section 19, Soi 6 serves organic coffee made from locally grown beans from Lampang.

The Wantong Café in section 26, Soi 1/4, offers delicious coffee, tea, lemonade and tempting Thai desserts.

As the name suggests, Koko Drip in section 7, Soi 5 is known for its filter coffee.

Abelle Clothing Cafe Bar is located at Gate 27 of the market (on the side near Kamphaeng Phet Road) and offers freshly brewed coffee from a moka pot, refreshing cocktails, gin cocktails with Thai fruits, Thai beer cocktails, and Thai whiskey. Patchwork clothing and vintage items are also available. Open from 10:30 am to 10:00 pm.

Viva 8, located in Section 8 near Kamphaeng Phet Road, is a bar and restaurant with a relaxed, friendly atmosphere, open from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Paella (Spanish rice) is the house specialty, and a variety of drinks are available. A DJ provides entertainment with classic hits and electronic music.

From morning until the early hours, Bangkok's Chinatown is a hive of activity. During the day, the market lanes teem with glittering, golden shops. Buddhist monasteries (including Wat Trimit, home to the world's largest golden Buddha statue, and Wat Mangkon Kamalawat – Bangkok's most important and largest Chinese Buddhist temple) as well as Taoist temples make the area ideal for a pilgrimage. Sampeng Lane, the original main street of Chinatown when the Chinese community settled in the Thai capital, is now a maze of shops selling just about anything. New shops and bars are adding to the area's appeal. Thanks to the new subway connection, which makes travel easier, different districts can be explored during the day. In the evening, be sure to visit Yaowarat Road – a true paradise for street food lovers. The offerings range from seafood to dim sum and pad thai, to homemade ice cream and durian, to name just a few. It doesn't get much more delicious than this. Enjoy your meal!

To get to Chinatown, take the MRT to Wat Mangkon station. From there, it's about a five-minute walk to Yaowarat Road. If you'd like to visit Wat Trimit temple first, you can get off at Hua Lampong station. The temple is open daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Phone: +66 89 002 2700.

While Bangkok offers several parks for visitors, Bang Kachao on the outskirts of the capital feels like a welcome relief.

This lushly vegetated plot of land in the Phra Pradaeng district is known as Bangkok's "green lung" and has become a popular weekend getaway destination.

The local Bang Nam Phueng market is a true foodie paradise. Here you'll find a wide selection of inexpensive goods, while cyclists can enjoy the well-maintained, winding paths through the jungle. Bike rental costs 20 baht, and there are plenty of photogenic spots for selfies. Sri Nakhon Khuean Khan Park and Botanical Garden (+66 2 461 0972) is an absolute must-see. This tranquil city park offers green spaces, walking paths, a picturesque lake, and a birdwatching platform.

Planning to spend more than half a day here? Host families offer the perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in this lush, green world. The market is open on weekends and holidays, while Bang Kachao is open daily. Try to avoid the weekend crowds if possible.

Baan Makham is a guesthouse with a restaurant, whose houses are often fully booked on weekends.

Hidden Woods (+6690 974 8234) is a riverside café nestled within a garden setting. The industrial design of the main building and surrounding structures makes it one of the most popular spots, alongside the market and the botanical garden. It's open Thursday through Sunday from 10:30 am to 6:00 pm and serves delicious coffee.

The Bangkok Tree House (+6682 995 1150) is open daily from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM. Thanks to its location near the pier, this eco-friendly hotel with an organic restaurant is one of the most popular destinations for cyclists.

Bang Kachao (+6692 229 3549) can be reached from Bangkok by car via the Industrial Ring Road and the Bhumibol I Bridge to Soi Songtham and Petchahueng Road. Alternatively, you can take the Skytrain to Bang Na station, from there take a motorbike taxi to Wat Bang Na Nok and cross the Chao Phraya River by ferry to Bang Kachao.

Known as Pak Khlong Talad, Bangkok's 24-hour flower market is one of the best places to shop in the capital. Locals come here to buy flowers and plant supplies for all occasions – from Valentine's Day, graduations, and funerals to weddings, parties, and home decorations.

The flower market has a new location, but the original one, thanks to its position in the old town, remains a popular destination for visitors. Other places to buy flowers in the area include the section along Chakkrapetch Road and the Thai Agricultural Promotion Market, with its numerous shops offering a variety of flowers. At Yodpiman Market, you'll find stalls selling ornamental flowers for garlands and decorations for special occasions such as ordination ceremonies. Besides the flower shops, the Yodpiman River Walk (http://www.yodpimanriverwalk.com/home-en/) invites you to linger and enjoy the river views, especially at sunset.

Be sure to visit the Napasorn Flower Café (+662 222 6895, daily 10:00 AM–10:00 PM), which—just like the market itself—has become a real crowd-pleaser. The ground floor houses the flower shop with a full range of services. Upstairs, a cozy café invites you to linger over cake and coffee.

The market is easily accessible on foot from Sanamchai metro station. You can also take an express boat (marked with a blue or orange flag) from Saphan Taksin BTS station and get off at Pak Khlong Talad or Yodpiman pier.

The Museum of Floral Culture doesn't offer fresh flowers. Instead, it's a fascinating learning center that introduces you to the flowers of different cultures. Founded by renowned florist Sakul Intakul and opened in 2012, the museum showcases unique floral cultures from across Asia. Visitors can admire rare decorative objects that were once used in Thai palaces. The museum is housed in a 100-year-old teakwood building dating back to the reign of King Rama VI. The colonial architecture forms an impeccably landscaped garden in the Thai Zen style. After the tour, you'll be treated to refreshments of tea and dessert.

The museum is located on Samsen Road (Soi 28) in the quiet residential area of ​​the Dusit district. It is open daily from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and admission is 150 Baht. Each guided tour lasts one hour. For more information, please call +662 669 3633 or email [email protected]. Further details can be found at www.floralmuseum.com.

Before Bangkok, Thonburi, on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River, briefly served as the capital of Siam. In 1971, it was merged with Phra Nakhon on the east bank to form present-day Bangkok.

The Thonburi district, including Khlong San Canal, is a fascinating area that has become a worthwhile destination for a half-day or full-day trip. Bangkok's Old City is known for its lesser-known temples and hidden gems, some of which are unknown even to locals. Visit Wat Pichaiyat. Built during the reign of King Rama III, this temple boasts stunning Sino-Thai architecture. Its main stupa houses four Buddha statues facing the four cardinal directions. Located on Prachatipok Road, the temple is open daily from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM (+662 861 4319, +662 438 4442).

Not far from the monastery is the Princess Mother Memorial Park (+662 439 0902). It was established at the initiative of the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej to preserve the old house where his beloved mother lived as a child. Today, the park houses a museum with works by the Princess Mother of King Rama IX and a shaded area where visitors can relax and refresh themselves while exploring the grounds. The park is open daily from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and the museum from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Opened on November 2, 2017, Lhong 1919 has become a new landmark on the banks of the Chao Phraya River in Thonburi. This 19th-century Chinese mansion, once a port dating back to the reign of King Rama IV, now houses a complex of restaurants, shops, and the over 180-year-old Mazu Shrine, a pilgrimage site for Chinese and Thai worshippers. The pleasant atmosphere and modern amenities have transformed this once-forgotten area into a popular meeting place. Lhong 1919 is open daily from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM. For more information, please call +6691 187 1919 or visit www.lhong1919.com. Thanks to its own pier, Lhong 1919 offers convenient boat access from various piers, including Tha Phra Arthit Pier and BTS Taksin Pier, along the Chao Phraya River. Another good option is the free shuttle service from the Icon Siam Hotel.

Thonburi holds hidden treasures unknown to Bangkok residents. The Kudichin district captivates visitors with its unique multiculturalism. It has long served as a settlement area for Buddhists, Christians, and Muslims. The area encompasses six communities within the Wat Kalya subdistrict.

This community was founded by the Portuguese, who supported King Taksin in battle after being rewarded with land. The Santa Cruz Church, situated on the riverbank, commemorates the community's history. The Kadichin settlement dates back to Ayutthaya. Its rich cultural history exemplifies how Bangkok seeks to reconcile its past splendor with modernization.

Other sights besides the church include Wat Kalyanamit Mahaworavihara, also known to local Chinese and Thai residents as Sam Po Kong or Sam Po Hut Kong. The Thai-style Bang Luang Mosque and the Kian Un Keng Shrine impressively illustrate Thailand's multicultural diversity. At the end of your tour, try Khanom Farang Kudichin, a soft cake inspired by Portuguese desserts. The privately run Baan Kudichin Museum, which documents the history of Portuguese Siamese culture, is also worth a visit (baankudichinmuseum.com). Phone: +6681 772 5184.

Santa Crus Church is located opposite Yodpiman River Walk, on the other side of the river. Take an express boat (recognizable by the blue flags at the dock and on each boat) from anywhere along the Chao Phraya River to the Yodpiman dock. The fare is 40 baht. The ferry from Yodpiman to the Wat Kalyana dock costs 5 baht. If you plan to visit the Kadichin district and the flower market on the same day, head to Kadichin in the early afternoon and return to Yodpiman later to explore the market.

Located in the province of Nonthaburi, Koh Kret has long been a popular weekend getaway for Bangkok residents. Visitors can spend half a day or a full day on the island community, escaping the hustle and bustle of the capital.

Thanks to its location near Bangkok, Koh Kret is also a popular place for locals to say goodbye to their deceased. They scatter the ashes of the deceased or throw the entire urn into the river. Thailand adopted the ritual of "Loy Ankhan" from India via Hinduism. Locals hold funerals on the banks of the holy Ganges and then scatter the ashes of their loved ones in the river to guide them on their next journey of rebirth. Through tourism that emphasizes community values, Koh Kret has established itself as an attractive destination and has recently become a popular travel destination for international visitors.

Koh Kret was created in 1722 by the construction of a canal that shortened the river route to Ayutthaya. The Mon people, whose civilization originated in southern Myanmar, settled there. Today, most of Koh Kret's inhabitants are descendants of the Mon, who are especially known for their pottery.

Aside from that, temples like Wat Poramaiyikawat Worawihan and Wat Sala Kun are worth a visit. The former houses an important Buddha statue and is famous for its over 200-year-old, leaning pagoda, which is visible from afar. The latter impresses with its truly breathtaking, colorful brick facade.

Visitors to the island will be delighted by the weekend market on Saturdays and Sundays, with its diverse range of products, souvenirs, and food. Remember that you are in the Mon community and be sure to visit the Mon Cultural Centre, which showcases a wealth of Mon-style pottery.

The six-kilometer main path around the island is perfect for exploring by bicycle. Visitors to the small island often rent bikes at the main piers for about 50 baht per day. After hours of cycling, we recommend ending the day with one of the craft beers at Chit Beer.

The local microbrewery Chit Beer is only open on weekends from noon to 9 p.m. It's usually packed by late afternoon. They offer a variety of bottled craft beers and five to eight different beers on tap, including the Toob Tub IPA (6.2%) and the Fourteen Again Session. The owner also runs a brewing academy where interested groups can learn to brew their own beer. Give it a try – you'll understand what their slogan "It's good chit" means. Call +6689 799 1123 or check out their Facebook page.

To get to Koh Kret, take the ferry from Wat Sanam. The crossing costs 3 baht. Please note that the ferry stops running around 9:00 PM.

Bangkok has long been considered a foodie paradise. Five-star hotels offer a huge selection of exquisite restaurants, while the search for the best street food stalls and food stands is like a never-ending journey.

Long before Supinya Jansuta, also known as Jay Fai, became a Michelin-starred chef, she was cooking lad na (fried noodles in sauce), rice with crab meat and basil, and other delicious dishes. She uses charcoal grills, which impart an unparalleled aroma to her food. Her street food stall on Maha Chai Road, popularly known as Jay Fai Pratu Pee (the Ghost Gate), is a favorite among local foodies. They know they can expect flavorful and satisfying food at a premium price, comparable to a fine-dining establishment. However, the taste of her dishes is undeniable. With a Michelin star and a large following of locals and tourists, it's advisable to book in advance to try her famous crab meat omelet. Phone: +6692 724 9633.
