More tips (6)
CentralWorld
Check the event zone on floors 1–2 for pop-ups like the Coffee Connect festival.
Chatuchak Weekend Market
Weekends only and huge (~15,000 stalls): vintage, jeans, souvenirs; elephant tote bags at 250 baht.
ICONSIAM
Don't miss the lower floor market with food stalls, supermarkets, bakeries and small things to buy.
Siam Paragon
Beautiful with huge flower displays, but you'd need a mortgage to buy anything there.
SookSiam
Indoor Thai floating-market-style food hall on ICONSIAM's lower floor, with boats and a canal – worth coming.
Pathumwan Princess Hotel
Her Bangkok hotel, next to MBK in Pathumwan.
Wat Pho
Fun for kids to strike the big gong, but the line to see the Reclining Buddha was at least an hour — she skipped it.
Yaowarat Road Chinatown
Part of the 24-hour Bangkok route - best in the evening for street food.
Ancient City Muang Boran
Entry 700 baht pp, golf cart 350 baht first hour +100 each extra; get there early by Bolt taxi (~1hr each way) and plan a full day.
Big C Supercenter Ratchadamri
Go on your last day to stock up on Thai spices, sauces and snacks; most branches have a 2nd floor with homeware, toys and clothes.
Chef's Table at lebua
Two-Michelin-star restaurant - one of her best experiences in Bangkok.
Inddee
2-Michelin-star Indian tasting menu; book ahead, vegetarian menu on request. Go before a 3rd star raises prices.
Louis Vuitton Visionary Journeys Bangkok
Free entry at the LV-wrapped Gaysorn Amarin by the Erawan Shrine; book a time slot ahead to walk straight in, and you get a small gift in the last room.
Mil Toast House
Siam Square Soi 3: the steamed chocolate babka is 'the tastiest yeast cake I've ever eaten', plus toast filled with butter and vanilla ice cream.
Paradise Lost Bangkok
A stop on her 24 hours in Bangkok route.
SEA LIFE Bangkok Ocean World
She calls the aquarium a crazy, highly recommended experience — and don't miss the shaped cotton candy made on site.
Sompong Thai Cooking School
1100 baht (~$30), about 3 hours, must book ahead on their site; menu: papaya-style salad, green curry, cashew chicken, mango sticky rice.
Kruajiangmai
Order the khao soi – yellow and red versions, and wagyu khao soi. Opens 10:00.

She calls it the most beautiful building in the city; they were sent a gift bag with handwritten notes and two cakes to the room.
Pancake Cafe
Japanese pancake for about~$8 on floor 3 of CentralWorld opposite Starbucks.
The Grand Palace
Entry 500 baht; modest dress required. A photographer who also guides makes the visit much better.
Akara Sky Hanuman
Rooftop stop on the 24-hour Bangkok route.
Bangkok Marriott Hotel Sukhumvit
Perfect room with bathtub and glass shower, not too pricey; compare prices on Klook with code BARSHA.
Jodd Fairs
Best night market in Bangkok, better than Khao San: open all week from 16:00, with unusual street food, clothes and gel-nail stands.
Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok
Craziest breakfast buffet ever; family suite has a parents' unit and a kids' room with a play corner
Lumphini Park
Come to spot monitor lizards – they're everywhere by the lake and easy to find.
MaeThum Padthai
Their #2 favourite pad thai in Bangkok.
MBK Center
Right next to Pathumwan Princess Hotel; has a Sushiro branch inside.
Napalai Terrace
Top floor of ICONSIAM - free panoramic terrace over the Chao Phraya River and the skyline.
Novotel Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport
Worth it before an early flight: small kids sleep free, gorgeous pool, spa, Italian/Thai/Japanese restaurants and a 1200 baht all-you-can-eat dinner buffet.
Pastaioli
Inside the new Emsphere mall; you pick your fresh pasta shape on a tablet. Dishes 260–490 baht, try the pesto fusilli.
Safari World
Great for kids and mostly shaded; tickets on site. Arrive ~13:00 and allow 4 hours. Feeding giraffes is a highlight.

Handy base — her hotel was in the area and the Skytrain goes straight to Chatuchak market from Siam.
Song Wat Road
Full of cool cafes, vintage shops and big murals (elephants, a penguin in a tuk-tuk).
Supanniga Eating Room Thonglor
Michelin-recommended; order the green curry with beef, fried enoki mushrooms and marinated eggs.
Wat Arun
Seen from the Chao Phraya River — the prang looks great from the water.
168 Thai Restaurant
Eat here while you're at Chatuchak market.
Ayara Massage Thonglor
By far the best foot massage they've had; open 10:00–23:59.
Benjakitti Park
Great morning by the lake with skyline views; walk the elevated skywalk over part of the park.
DOPPIO
Near the Chabad house in Chinatown; try the coffee tasting served in test tubes on a wooden stand.
INDDEE
2 Michelin stars; go soon, the creator expects a third star (and harder bookings) soon.
Kay's
Great coffee and a 10/10 breakfast bowl; card only in practice (cash accepted but no change) – they paid with LAYA.
Krua Khun Puk Sukhumvit 11
Dinner stop on her Bangkok route.
Kumo Cotton Candy
Giant hand-spun cotton candy shaped into animals (an octopus one) — fun to watch them make it.

Try the tsukemen set with duck, lemon and yolk, or shoyu ramen with chashu and egg.
Pad Thai Kratong Thong by ama
Ranked their #1 favourite pad thai in Bangkok.
Phed Mark
A 10/10 pad kaprao meal, recommended by @hagar_sunflower.
The Cassette Coffee Bar
Small ornate all-pink spot with one of the few decent coffees in the area; signature drinks 145-225 baht, and pink lemonade for the kids.
Tichuca Rooftop Bar
Go here if you want a party: 46th-floor rooftop in T-One building, Sukhumvit 40, with lasers and light installation.
Trok Krai
One of Chinatown's coolest streets: giant blue-figure mural on an old building and cafes at street level.
Zong Peep
Best khao soi they ate, by far – another golden tip from @hagar_sunflower.
adidas Song Wat
Possibly the coolest Adidas store in the world: peeling walls and a tuk-tuk made of rope.
Domo Japanese BBQ
Japanese BBQ in a mall where you grill the meat yourself at the table — a hit with kids who loved it in Japan.
Gentle Monster Haus Nowhere Bangkok
Looks like an art exhibition with giant installations (like a huge sleeping dog), but it's an eyewear store.
Little Zoo Cafe
350 baht ticket includes entry, a hot/cold drink and a souvenir doll; lots of corgis and cats, but also wild animals like a raccoon and fox.
Park Plaza Bangkok Soi 18
Quiet Soi 18 location right by the BTS and MRT, so you skip Bangkok's traffic jams.
Sushiro
Plates 30-40฿ (one nigiri each) and a matcha tap at every table; ~$22 for two incl. the automatic 10% tip. Tasty, but adds up.
True Love @ Neverland
350 baht per adult: 1 hour with the huskies + a drink + water. Too crowded on weekends and some dogs jump at small kids.
Yaowarat Road
Come any day except Sunday, around 17:00-18:00 — half was closed when they came late on a Sunday. The main street has the most open.
Bangkok Skywalk
Use the covered Sky Walk above the street - far easier and nicer than walking through Bangkok's jammed roads.
Benjakitti Forest Park
Elevated skywalk over the green park with the Bangkok skyline – free to go up, great for trendy reels.
Candy Crush
Watch handmade candy being made on the mall's top-floor food level — a fun culinary attraction for kids.
Centara Grand at CentralWorld
Good layover pick: floors 23+ behind CentralWorld mall, spacious rooms, great central access at a good price.
Central Chidlom
The Public Market food floor has a Hong Kong Michelin restaurant stall — the roast duck/pork with noodles was amazing. Worth a stop if you're nearby.
Coco.nut
Coconut ice cream with toppings in a smiley cup — a stop in section 2 of Chatuchak market.
Coconut Culture
Order the coconut ice cream with burnt corn – really tasty.
Dear Tummy ICONSIAM
Look for fruit deals like Shine Muscat grapes discounted from 499 to 199 baht.
Ippudo
Excellent ramen (and gyoza) on the top floor of CentralWorld.
Red Vintage
Vintage mall right next to Chatuchak Weekend Market — don't miss it when you visit the market.
Sampheng Market
Huge market in Chinatown selling everything, plus many food stalls - search 'Sampheng market' on Google Maps.
Shoyu Stand
Simpler branch of No Name Noodle: great ramen for 350 baht, a cheaper alternative to the flagship.
Siam Square One
A really cute mall — wander the street-market alleys around it.
Sicha
Her Thai tea stop inside Chatuchak market.
L'Antica Pizzeria Da Michele Bangkok
On floor 5 of Siam Paragon; the famous Naples pizza is adapted for non-Italian tastes.
Octave Rooftop Lounge & Bar
Marriott Sukhumvit's rooftop: nice night city view, but the food disappointed and it's less of a party than expected.
Baiyoke Sky Tower
Visible on the skyline from the Siam-area hotel view.
Central Embassy
Smizzle Burger is on the top floor.
Distar Fresh
Hydroponic vertical farm stand; you can subscribe and get fresh vegetables delivered home.

Shopping · eco design store

Newly opened mall — home to the Pastaioli fresh pasta restaurant.
Erawan Shrine
Right beside the Louis Vuitton exhibition building in the Ratchaprasong shopping district.
Hia Chiu Premium Durian
Sells Monthong and Kanyao durian by 100g – the parents tried it and found durian awful.
Khaosan Art Hotel
Israeli-owned hostel a minute's walk from Khao San Road, ~$22 a night – very basic but cheap; booked via Booking link.
NEXTOPIA
New sustainability complex – a good stop for anyone into eco and green design.
Prynwan Flagship Store
Cool dog store with clothes, shampoos and treats — great for gifts, but not cheap.
Saneh Bangkok Restaurant
Cheapest pad thai they had in Bangkok (39 baht) by the river – come in the evening near sunset, it's very hot otherwise.
Sathorn Pier
Boat pier next to BTS Saphan Taksin - expect a queue for the boats.
Siam Scape
Easy morning stroll area with shops and cafes like Fire Tiger Coffee.
Siam Takashimaya
Shopping · department store
Suvarnabhumi Airport
Don't miss the mythological sculpture display inside the terminal for a farewell photo.
Tha Tien Pier
They got off at the pier near the old Buddha temple; there's a market by the pier, decorated for the holidays.
Yaowarat Road
Famous for the red-and-yellow gold-shop signs in Thai and Chinese.
Asiatique The Riverfront
Free shuttle boat gets you there, but she found it bland and overpriced - 'like Sarona/HaTachana', not worth it.
Chao Phraya River
She calls the river/klong boat trip a waste of time and money — both she and her daughter were bored after 15 minutes.
Khao San Road
Dana says skip Khao San and go to Jodd Fairs instead.
Supanniga Eating Room Tha Tien
Michelin-recommended and needs a booking, but she says it wasn't worth the trip or price — same street food you find on any corner.
