FREE maps!
  • Tip Rating:

  • If you arrive by plane, pay attention at the airport, before clearing customs, to some shelfs where you can find free maps of Bangkok.
    They are in fact some of the best maps of the city I saw and it was very very useful, but I didn't see tehm nowhere (hotels...) else, so take one at the airport just in case!

    Local Markets and Street Vendors: Chinatown Markets
  • Tip Rating:

  • If you visit the Chinatown area, you can wander around the many small street markets you will find there. I have never bought anything there: they are mainly food markets and I am not gonna cook anything as a tourist, and, most important, I can hardly recognize any item that they sell!!!!

    But anyway, walking around and getting lost in this odorous charming mysterious markets has always been a pleasant activity for me. Besides, it gives you many good photo opportunities :-))

    Night Market at Silom Road
  • Tip Rating:

  • All along Silom Road and some alleys close to it (specially at the part of the avenue close to the river) you can find at night many stalls selling clothes, food, souvenirs, fakes, CDs, DVDs, T-Shirts...
    Is a good place to taste local food at any of the many cheap food stalls.

    Siam Center / Siam Discovery Center: Siam Centre
  • Tip Rating:

  • In this huge Mall you can find many fast food chains, cafes, fashion shops, in a very western style. There is a direct access from the BTS (Siam Station) and around it you can find many other big magazines and other shops...
    A shopping paradise!

     Can somebody tell me if the train from Bangkok to Aranyaprateth (Cambodian border) drives on Sunday at 0555h? Thanks a lot, ciao, Joe

     You're two off on the Skytrain stops. Nana station is a pretty long walk to Sukhumvit Soi 24. Correct stop is Phrom Phong.
