Throwback Rooftop Bar is a modest and reasonably priced rooftop bar located on the 9th floor of the Silom Edge Building, just across the road from the Silom MRT Station. The view of the busy road and the BTS Skytrain passing by regularly in front of Lumpini Park is a good photo opportunity.
Eagle Nest is one of those rooftops I keep going back to. It’s not high up like many others in Bangkok, but the view is hard to beat. Located right on top of Sala Rattanakosin Hotel, the bar looks directly across the river to Wat Arun.

Over the years, we’ve met quite a few travellers who added a medical check or even surgery to their Thailand holiday — and for good reason. Hospitals like BNH in Bangkok offer the kind of modern, top-quality care you’d expect back home and maybe even better, but at a fraction of the price.
Tanbo Chicken Rice is a small and humble restaurant right on Yaowarat Road in Bangkok Chinatown, next to the famous Hua Seng Hong. It’s easy to miss, but locals and visitors line up for their chicken rice, especially in the evenings.
Blue Elephant Bangkok is one of those restaurants we like to recommend when friends visit the city and want to experience Thai food in a more refined setting.
Bangkok’s riverside often feels out of reach for budget-conscious travellers, but it doesn’t have to be. Over the years, we’ve stayed in quite a few hotels along the Chao Phraya, and some of them turned out to be surprisingly affordable.

Baannok Bangkok on Langsuan Road is one of those places we keep going back to. It’s tucked away on the second floor of Vivre Langsuan, right across from Portico, but it feels more like someone’s living room than a city restaurant.
Baan Langsuan is one of those places that’s easy to miss, but once you’ve been, it stays with you. Set inside a restored white wooden house on Langsuan Road, just a few minutes’ walk from Chit Lom BTS, it looks more like someone’s home than a restaurant.
The Pickwicks Chronicles doesn’t look like much from the street — a dark, slightly mysterious building on Langsuan Road with a name that sounds more like a secondhand bookshop than a bar.
Sartoria by Paulo Airaudo is a hidden gem perched on the 56th floor of Bangkok’s Empire Tower, offering a unique Italian fine-dining experience. Despite its unassuming entrance, the restaurant reveals an elegant setting with panoramic views of the city skyline and Bang Krachao Island.
The Ritz-Carlton at One Bangkok is the latest name to watch in the capital’s growing collection of ultra-luxury stays. It opened in 2024, and the place feels more like a sleek private residence than a typical hotel.
