Bangkok, love it or hate it, because while it’s a city packed with actions, it could be intimidating to less-experienced travelers. But now, you have decided to venture into Bangkok anyway (since you are reading this, I assume you are..), so just take a deep breath, and Bangkok can be easy. How long to stay […]
Where to Stay in Bangkok
Here are some of my recommendations on where to stay in Bangkok. Added on are their Tripadvisor scores (as on 14 Apr 2017) for reference. Bangkok is one of the most visited city in the world and for decades the tourism boom has boosted its city expansion, basically every where is listed in travelers’ attraction […]
Inter Restaurant @ Siam, Bangkok
Snuggled in the heart of busy Siam Square with interior that could only qualify as impressive if we are in the 80s, Inter Restaurant is an unpretentious cafe serving the norm Thai dishes. Whether its cheap or not will depend whether, you are comparing it to an even simpler local eatery or with a tourist-filled restaurant. I think […]
T&K Seafood @ Bangkok, Yaowarat Road
I first started dining at T&K Seafood in 2014 and we went there again in end of 2015. Thinking back, I am not too sure if it’s the best seafood haunt for the first visit, we got a receipt with no itemized listing, but a big 1000 Bht figure written on it. This time we […]
Hua Hin + Bangkok Day 4: Chatuchak Market & Siam
This is the first time I ever arrived at Chatuchak market early in the morning and I must say, it’s all worth it. There were less crowd and for the first hour we were there, we had, what we considered as, leisurely walk. Everything was good, except for the grey cloud looming over our heads. At on […]
Hua Hin + Bangkok Day 3 : Khlong Lat Mayom and Platinum Mall
Exactly a year after my first visit to floating Khlong Lat Mayom I returned again this November with the main agenda to explore everything it has to offer. The previous year’s boating trip to the village was not bad but left us with little time to explore the market itself. Let me say this upfront – […]
Hua Hin + Bangkok Hua Hin Day 2 : Swiss Sheep Farm and Plad Thong Mookata
It must be the good oil massage we got yesterday. I woke up at 5 am, feeling refreshed and can’t wait to start the day. Beyond everything, we need to depart for Bangkok by afternoon and I realized it was impossible to cram Swiss Sheep Farm and Marukhathaiyawan Palace into one day. My heart was […]
T&K Seafood @ Yaowarat Road, Bangkok
I had always thought Somboon is the uncontested most popular seafood restaurant around Bangkok until I was introduced to T&K Seafood by tripadvisor reviews. A quick google confirmed that it is indeed something that can give Somboon a run of their money, if we put aside the comfort and ambience. Not wanting to endure the […]
Mr Jones’ Orphanage @ Siam Centre, Bangkok
Unless I am holidaying in a remote area, chances is high that I will start a coffee hunt again, a booster for me to continue shopping. Unfortunately on the third day, we were ‘blessed’ with a rainy day which cut my coffee hunt really short, actually, limited the option to only one – Mr Jones’ […]
Bangkok Day 2 – Khlong Lat Mayom Floating Market, Chatuchak and Ban Khun Mae Restaurant
Our ladies day out in Bangkok got very busy on Sunday. Khlong Lat Mayom floating markets and Chatuchak are open on weekends only. While Platinum Mall opens daily, it has longer operating hour on weekends. Inevitably, we had to pack everything into one day. Khlong Lat Mayom, floating market or food market? It didn’t take […]
