El Gaucho Langsuan
El Gaucho is well known in Bangkok as the main restaurant in Sukhumvit, next to Terminal 21 Shopping Mall. This new branch has only one vast room because of the high price. The choice of cuts is immense and maybe a bit intimidating at first, so if you are unfamiliar, don’t start with the most expensive meats; it can build up very fast. Side dishes are also surprisingly expensive.
Shabu Baru
Shabu Baru is the latest restaurant in the village. It serves the ever-popular shabu in individual pots placed around a central counter instead of the usual central cooking pot shared by up to four guests
HOPPE Coffeehouse
Hoppe looks like a coffee shop but is a small restaurant serving a mix of comfort food, Western and Thai. The food is very good and well-priced, and we order takeaway several times a week. There are only a few tables inside and three outside.
Petits Plats
Petits Plats is a trendy French restaurant serving excellent cuisine for lunch and dinner. The facade seems small, but the restaurant is larger than it appears outside
Thonburi Locomotive Garage
Thonburi Locomotive Garage (also known as the Thonburi Rail Yard) is a historic railway facility in Bangkok. Located near the Thonburi Train Station and next to the famous Sriraj Hospital, it has been a part of Thailand’s railway heritage for decades.
Vaso Spanish Tapas Bar
Vaso is a popular upmarket restaurant where customers sit around two central counters in two adjacent rooms to enjoy excellent tapas
Co Limited Velaa Sindhorn Village Langsuan
Tucked inside Velaa Sindhorn Village, just next to the Sindhorn Kempinski Hotel Co Limited has become one a restaurants spots we recommend when friends ask for Thai food in the Langsuan area.
Rongsi Potchana
Rongsi Potchana is, without a doubt, our favourite restaurant in Velaa. The food is excellent, the atmosphere lively, the service is fast, always friendly, and efficient, and the price is good considering how expensive everything is in this village
Royal Barges National Museum
The Royal Barges National Museum in Bangkok offers a captivating glimpse into Thailand’s rich ceremonial traditions. These ornate vessels, dating back to the Ayuthaya era, are showcased when not in use for regal processions.
The One Ratchada
The One Ratchada is a popular night market located near the Ratchada area in Bangkok. It is the revamped version of the former Ratchada Train Night Market (Talad Rot Fai Ratchada), which closed during the pandemic
Rocco Club Rooftop
Rocco Club Rooftop Bar sits right at the far end of Khao San Road in Bangkok Old Town. It’s not the highest rooftop in Bangkok, but what makes it special is the view straight down onto the colourful, noisy heart of Bangkok’s backpacker district
The ONE at Khaosan
The ONE at Khaosan is one of the busiest night spots on Khao San Road. The bar and restaurant spreads over several levels, with a high triangular roof and colourful lighting that stands out from the street.
Bangkok Flower Market (Pak Khlong Talat)
Bangkok Flower Market (The Pak Khlong Talat) is a picturesque sight in the old town. The marketplace hosts dozens of vendors selling just about everything, from fresh-cut flowers and potted plants to traditional garlands and flower arrangements.
Tha Phra Chan
Tha Phra Chan is a historic pier on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River. Named after a bronze bell that once hung in a nearby temple, this important transportation hub serves as a gateway to many notable attractions in Bangkok Old Town, including the Temple of the Emerald Buddha and Wat Pho.
Wat Suthat Thepwararam (Giant Swing)
Wat Suthat Thepwararam (Giant Swing) is a famous Buddhist temple dating back to the late 18th century. It’s mostly known for its towering red teak swing standing at 21 m. Due to its towering height, it can be seen from other areas in Bangkok Old Town.
Museum Siam
Museum Siam in Bangkok Old Town offers an interactive and engaging way to learn about Thailand’s history and culture. It occupies a 19th-century building on Sanam Chai Road, which puts you within a 5-minute walk of Wat Pho.
Tha Maharaj Riverside Complex
Tha Maharaj is a riverside community mall in Bangkok’s Old Town, just next door to Tha Phra Chan Pier. It’s one of those places I like to stop by after wandering around the temples or the amulet markets nearby.
Tha Tian Market
Tha Tian Market is a sizable community marketplace on Rattanakosin Island, right next to Wat Pho. It offers a unique shopping experience, thanks to its largely local clientele. Most of the vendors sell dried salted seafood wholesale and retail, but you can also find fresh produce and daily necessities.
Bang Nam Phueng Floating Market
Bang Nam Phueng Floating Market is a great destination if you want to experience a traditional Thai floating market, located in the heart of Bang Kachao, often referred to as Bangkok’s “green lung”, the market is a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
