I love it, I did from the first time I came here in 97.

Anyone notice that you don't hear much from MalcolmB now?

The image of Bangkok as an inferred hub of intellectuals was enough to have me choking on my coffee.

 

Intellectual is a strong word ... but well-educated people for sure 

A lot of multinationals, NGOs based out of BKK.

Not the same expat demographic as the retirees in tourist hubs.

I hate it.  Nasty little Taxi drivers that have no map, no gps and no clue where to go.  

That is a good point, I could do with an A-Z street map if they still exist. These Google maps and the like don't give any context for the larger surrounding area.

You can zoom in & out 😎

 

Gmap is amazing, and streetview, what else does one need ?

I have certainly loved it more. not a fan of history being replaced by malls

Why do you love it? Or why do you hate it? Or maybe neutral on it. Couple of days then done.

Hating a name on a forum. How deranged.

Harris Fan, you single?

 

Haven't lived there, but I'm guessing it might be one of the better places in Thailand to meet women. 

 

Cant beat Pattaya, all the best ladies goes there, especially in the weekends and  holidays all the girls coming for party with their frinds, and maybe find a foreigner.

The thumbs down are for you starting another of your silly, pointless threads.

It is not the name they hate, it is the rubbish that the person posts.

Bangkok is great 👍 if you live there, but complicated if you just visit.

Why would that be?  Isn't it the other way round?

Bkk is fantastic if you're happy spending money. Imagine if everything in bkk was 90% cheaper, I suspect all those claiming to hate the place would be saying how much they loved it.

People are more friendly, less in a hurry. Thats what I found. I met my partners in small cities.

Really? I thought they were all freelancers

I guess I like Bangkok. Still own my condo there after 16 years and spend more time there each year. Great city, not without it's issues but very safe compared to many western capital cities. Good value from 40 Baht street noodles to Michelin starred restaurants, from live music in bars to top rated concerts. Shopping if that's your thing from cheap street markets to all the luxury brands. Cheap hostels to 5 star hotels. Some lovely parks for recreation. If all of that is too much, then two big airports with great connections to the world and low cost local carriers. Bangkok, see you again soon!

Ps. Even my 87 year old mother is looking forward to her next trip later this year!!!

First up agree with your summary of Bangkok. 

The airports and easy access a big bonus for frequent travellers

Pratunam was better in the past. I used to walk from Pratunam to MBK. Street food the whole way.
