    Siam Paragon Shopping Mall

      Siam Paragon is the mother of all malls in Bangkok, and despite the growing competition, it remains one of the best malls in Bangkok.

          Mahanakorn Skywalk Rooftop Bar in Bangkok

          Mahanakhon SkyWalk

            Mahanakhon SkyWalk in Silom is, without a doubt, the most thrilling experience you can get in Bangkok these days. It’s quite expensive, but the views from this 360˙open space Rooftop at the top of the tallest tower in Thailand justify the price.

            Terminal 21 Bangkok

            Terminal 21 Bangkok

              Terminal 21 Bangkok on Sukhumvit is a fun place to visit, even if you don’t plan to buy anything. It is designed like the departure hall of a vast international airport, with escalators and boarding gates to take you to nine different destinations in no time

              Royal Thai Air Force Museum

              Royal Thai Air Force Museum in Bangkok

                    Brewski Rooftop Bar on the 22nd floor of the Radisson Blu on Sukhumvit is the highest Craft Beer bar in Bangkok. It may not the be highest in Bangkok nor have the striking views other Bangkok rooftops have, but the place has a cool atmosphere and appears to be hugely popular.

                    Hi-So Rooftop Bar at So Sofitel Bangkok

                    Hi-So Rooftop Bar at So / Bangkok

                      When the Hi-So rooftop bar at So/ Bangkok opened in Bangkok, we thought this was just another luxury hotel, so how great could it be? Sathorn Road is nice and even posh, but it mostly looks like a large avenue lined with tall and shiny skyscrapers and a growing collection of luxury hotels.

                                  Le Du restaurant on Silom is one of our favourite restaurants in Bangkok, if not our favourite. We were lucky to discover it from the very early days and enjoyed the evolution from a young and shy hidden restaurant to a world-class, Michelin-starred venue.
