Food and Restaurants - Things to do in Bangkok
I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve been to Bangkok. Actually, that’s not true. It’s more than 50. And the city still surprises me.
Bangkok is bold, chaotic, fragrant, sweaty, and completely irresistible. You can start your day wrapped in a fluffy robe at a riverside spa and end it perched on a plastic stool, eating something life changing from a cart in an alley so narrow you hesitate for a second before stepping in. Go ahead. You’re exactly where you’re supposed to be.
In this guide, I’ve gathered the places I keep going back to. The restaurants that never disappoint, whether they come with white tablecloths or fluorescent lighting. The hotels I’ve tested, including the famous Hangover one and whether it’s actually worth it. And the things I think you shouldn’t miss when you’re not busy booking another Thai massage or hunting down the perfect mango sticky rice. If it’s your first time in Bangkok, this is a good place to start. If you’ve already fallen for the city, you know it’s never really the same twice. Either way, here’s how to make the most of your stay.
