“An unbiased view of what to do in Bangkok from people who live here”
Want to know where to go on a rainy day? Which attractions are Free? Best place to view sunsets in Bangkok? Do you want to Explore the “real” Bangkok? – There’s lots of content about the usual famous attractions but there is so much more to see.
As locals we’ve visited these places so we are able to give you unbiased advice on what to see. Everyones tastes are different but there is so much to do here in Bangkok you’ll never be bored. We also include our top tips which may not be apparent unless you live here.
People often mistake Bangkok as a stopping off point before heading to the beaches or islands or other parts of Thailand but there is so much to see here than even spending a week here would mean you wouldn’t see a fraction of what Bangkok has to offer.
Top Tip: Many people travel to the famous (and very touristy) Damnoen Saduak floating market which is 1.5hrs from Bangkok in Ratchaburi but the Taling Chan Floating Market which in our opinion is much nicer and more authentic only twenty minutes away! It’s only open at weekends but is a great local market.
This website is not for any commercial gain and purely to advice people on the best places to visit in and around Bangkok. It’s purpose is to not make money from promoting trips and tours although we may recommend some.
