Thailand’s capital, Bangkok, is a feast for the senses. The smells, sounds and tastes you’ll come across will make you feel alive. Bangkok is always on my itinerary when I visit Southeast Asia, and no two visits are ever the same. A bustling city with ancient тᴇмᴘʟᴇs and grand shopping malls, you’ll never get bored here. Here’s a list of the 10 best things to do in Bangkok on your next visit – some are obvious, some not so much.

Eat Street Food

Street food is a way of life for residents of Bangkok, and it isn’t something tourists should be ᴀғʀᴀιᴅ of. Vendors are as common as restaurants throughout the city, and you can get everything from fresh fruit to a full meal without ʙʀᴇᴀκιɴԍ your wallet. One can eat very well in Bangkok thanks to the variety of street food choices. Make sure you grab a freshly cooked Pad Thai or spicy soup when you visit the Thai capital, they are a must have!

Ride the BTS

One of the most comfortable public transport options I’ve experienced throughout my travels in Southeast Asia is Bangkok’s BTS Skytrain network. The BTS connects the city incredibly well and it’s fast, frequent and has the most amazing air conditioning! I think I’ve ridden it in the past just to ᴇscᴀᴘᴇ the heat. Taking a ride on the BTS is actually one of the best things to do in Bangkok on TripAdvisor!

Get a Thai Massage

The city is flooded with massage parlors, from cheap and cheerful to high end spas at the best luxury hotel in bangkok. A Thai massage is as ᴘᴀιɴful as it is enjoyable, and it’s an experience. I recommend everyone to try at least once. An average Thai massage in Bangkok will cost you around 200 тнʙ (6usᴅ).

Have a Sunset Drink at a Sky Bar

Bangkok’s sky bar scene is thriving. There are some fabulous places across the city to enjoy a drink while watching the sunset over the concrete jungle. If you’re staying at any of the best hostels in Bangkok, the staff will be sure to point you in the right direction.

Visit the Chatuchak Weekend Market

Where you can buy anything and everything, the Chatuchak Weekend Market is a great place to get your ‘haggle’ on. With over 8,000 stalls, you’re sure to find that souvenir you’ve been needing for your family and friends back home. Located 25 – 30 minutes from the centre of town via the BTS system, the market is easily accessible for tourists.  There’s a lot of outdoor space at the market, and the indoor areas can get a little close for comfort. A must-try is fresh coconut ice cream with a range of toppings.
