tonray Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 You likely will be happier taking the BTS/MRT instead of GRAB for most journeys to beat the hellish traffic. Certainly there is a plethora of info on Bangkok tourism available..Thai wife would most like to see Temples ? and then maybe some wallet breaking shopping at opulent mega Mall ? Don't forget to take the river boats for the true experience. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Visit the palace Grand Palace and some temples Must see Temples Visit the megamalls Central World, Paragon, Emporium, EmQuartier, Icon Siam etc...to see in some parts of the city nearly unimaginable opulence.

Popular Post lujanit Posted March 25, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 25, 2022 For a Thai an evening river dinner cruise is worthwhile. The commentary is usually in Thai. There are many cruises. One we have used starts from the Riverside Hotel, yet there are many companies doing the same. Buffet or a la carte, your choice. Just search Bangkok riverside cruises. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pmbkk Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Asiatique on the riverfront up-scale market stalls and restaurants. JJ/Chatuchak for the market. Silom/Lumpini Sukhumvit from around Nana, sois up to and around Terminal 21. Obv' the large number of very large shopping centers. As someone else said in the center, public transport is best during the day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Visit Erawan Shrine. Unless you want to go broke stay away from emquartier only designer stuff there very expensive. Terminal 21 might be better. I would suggest finding out what she wants to do there and looking at it form there. River cruise dinner is always nice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great views and next to ICON SIAM. Great buffet breakfast. ICON has a pier with river cruises that looked very nice and popular. China Town is fun to explore. One or two things is enough then relax by the pool with city and river views. Grab taxis are cheap to get around. Hilton is on the new Sky Train route. Whatever you do, enjoy yourself!

Agree especially Chinatown, for my extended Thai family (all Thai heredity) from Essan, Nth, Central Nth etc, Chinatown is a dream must see, and buy a few Chinese food, medicine, herb etc., products, mostly not expensive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BusyB Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 A trip on the Saen Saeb canalboat is also a hoot - I see they're electric and silent now as well - and a great way to get from Sukkhy to the palace etc. or vice versa ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Howard Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 We recently stayed at the Novotel Platonum. Next door to Platinum Plaza, five floors of inexpensive, good quality clothing. 5 minutes walk to Central World via elevated walkways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josephbloggs Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 (edited) Khlong Ong Ang is really nice, especially Friday - Sunday when it is a walking street. Lots of food, stalls, drinks, and a really cool vibe. Easy to get to as there is an MRT station just a couple of minutes walk away. Highly recommended. It even got a UN award for the restoration.https://www.tatnews.org/2021/03/award-winning-khlong-ong-ang-walking-street-isnt-your-average-walking-street/ Edited March 27, 2022 by josephbloggs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
