howtoescape Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 (edited) My parents who are 60 arrive in BKK next week for there first visit to LOS, they are staying in BKK for 3 nights before flying to Samui and have asked my advice on what to do in BKK I have given them directions to a few nice seafood street restaurants scattered around central BKK and after that i am all out of ideas. The Royal Palace may be of interest but IMO is boring, ive told them about the crocodile farm and the floating market, and the Katoey show at the Asia Hotel. But if anyone has any good suggestions my old man would more then appreciate it. They are staying at the Landmark so i have also said Nana Plaza will be good for a few drinks.

I take it a 'nudge, nudge, wink, wink' was directed at your old man during this suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about Thai Boxing & for something different, they could visit the various museums at Siriraj Hospital? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burman Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Perhaps a visit to Kanchanaburi might be an idea? My parents (same age) loved it there and my Dad who's own father served out in Asia during WW2 had his own special interest in the area as well.

pete98146 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Jim Thompson House is kinda cool! Take them to Sky Bar which is on the 64th floor of the State Tower Building. Both fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
