Useful Bangkok Travelling Tips

03:41


People always ask me, what are the things to do in Bangkok? Well, if this is what goes through your mind too, here is one extensive and comprehensive guide to travel in this metropolis. Read this before heading to Bangkok and you are sure to have a memorable one. I’m no professional tour guide whatsoever, but the stuff I mention below comes from a person who just like you, likes to visit places and experience new things.

First things first, pick up a travel map from the airport. This piece of paper is like a blueprint to your trip around the city. I used one throughout my stay and it more or less provided be with ample information about the places worth visiting. Not only is it equipped with famous landmarks, but it also comes with the railways routes around the city. I highly recommend doing this as you might prefer train over cabs for travelling long distances.

After landing in Bangkok, you might be confused whether to take a cab or a train to the hotel.  Personally, I would recommend taking the Suvarnabhumi Airport’s Rail Link as it is much faster and cheaper. I landed up spending just 40 baht and 30 to 45 minutes to reach my hotel. If you happen to travel with a group, taking a cab might be a cost-effective choice but it still can’t beat the cheap train ride.

Another burning question you might have is where to shop in Bangkok. Having known to be a heaven for price conscious shopaholics, you can’t miss this side of the city. Depending on your budget, there is an array of options available. When it comes to branded products, malls like Terminal 21 and Siam Paragon has every major store. However, my choice of place was MBK, this huge shopping centre includes high priced and cheap ones both. For the ladies, there are course malls for unstoppable shopping. Platinum Malls is the one for them.

And who doesn’t know the infamous Thai massage parlours? Visit one of them and experience an ultimate relaxing time. Hope this piece of information was able to point out certain markers on your trip. These were based on my personal experiences in the past and I am sure I will be back to this land again!
