Bangkok the city that never sleep! This is one of the most interesting country in the world because of it's varities of natures like beutiful islands, jungles, waterfalls, food, histories and many crazy things in Bangkok. As I mentioned about islands and beauty of natures which you will be able to check out my travel destinations in other part of Thailand but let me start with Bangkok since I was born here and I love my city, even though I have been traveling around the world. I would say that Bangkok is just different and unique compare to any other places in South East Asia. Why?
First of all I have to talk about food. Here you can find food 24/7 and they are fresh made! I love the vendors to high end. Let me start with the morning market here. They usually start from 5am until 8am. In the morning is about grocery or people go pay respect to the monks and give monks food. I love morning food like rice congee and fried dough but there are also authentic Thai food too, somehow it was very hard to get up that early in the morning just to go grocery and eat some deilicious congee and fried dough so It has to be specially occasion for me as I would love to go pay respect to the monk and give the food. People here belief as it will bring the prospurousity into life and the food part as you would pray for your beloved ones who pass away. These food would pass to the spirit as well.
After 8am, some of the local restaurants start to open or usual food vendors. These food are absolutley Thai food, Eastern Food and Vendors are usally chicken and rice, noodles and made to order menu. They are pretty much everywhere and open until 5pm or 6pm. Then from 6pm are another type of food. It's like a typical night times food here in Bangkok. They are usually made to order but big vairieties where they have section of ingredients, veggies, poultry and so on for people to be selected. This night time is my favorites and people here love to drink and party so after 2am you will find many people eating there early moring meal all around.
Food seems to be my number thing in Thailand but more then that. It is a city with rich cultures and modern life style. I love the grand palace and hotels along the river side. Here along the river side. You will see the rich cultures mixed with the modern world class hotel and high end condominiums. I l love the grand. It is pristine, enormous, rich of details, incridible art painting on the wall as it tells the stories. This place is a must visit in Bangkok and all around here there are so many great places to visit. I could easily enjoy Thai Tuk Tuk taxi to get around for a short distance, Also another way to enjoy a wonderful view of Thai living life style is by taxi boat on Jow Phraya River. This is absolutely fun and relaxing.
Other then local restaurants and vendors that I could find anywhere. I also love pampering myself on skyscraper rooftop in the city. There are many great modern rooftop where I could enjoy a wonderful skyline city view. I enjoyed the vibe and the decoration of rooftops around the city were so moderness. It gave such a relaxi feeling and enjoyable. It was just a great way to enjoy a great night out while I could enjoy fine wine over looking the skyline of the big city that never sleeps. This has always been my favorite thing today anytime I travel to Bangkok.
People here love to party as well. There are many great bar and restaurants at night where I could enjoya fun night. I have to say that I always have to catch up with new places because bars and restaurants in Bangkok seem to grow constantly. I also enjoy hospitality of many well known hotels. It beautiful and locate in the best area of the city which made it easy to access to many attractions. I can say that hospitality service from high end hotels in Bangkok are excelent. I usually happy with the service.
Bangkok has many interesting attractions which is easy to get around since most of the attractions are in the center city. It is easy to get around from one spot to another. The wonderful way to get around these attraction is by tuk tuk taxi "Traditional Thai Taxi" if I didn't feel like walking because it could be really hot in Bangkok - Tuk Tuk can be a great away to stay cool instead of walking under the hot weather. It is hot all year round but when it hot it is crazy hot. People love walking in the department store when it gets really hot. Here in Bangkok is a fun place to go shopping as well. You can pretty much find Thai brand name from well known designer which gave different look from what you may find from you own country or arts, home decor that are made in Thailand and they are beautiful and they prices could a good deal for you it is depend where you come from.
More then just shopping for some good stuff here. I think the most amazing attraction in Bangkok is the Grand Palace and Wat Arun temple. These two attractions can get around by taxi boat which was wonderul to cross the river and watching the living life along the river side of Jow Praya River. The Grand Palace is beyond gorgeous! It is enormous and rich in every detail of traditional Thai art. The arechitectures are so rich in every details. I spent times quite a while to get around Grand Palace. I was really amazed with the architectures and history through the painting on the wall here, and from here I took a taxi boat to Wat Arun temple. This Wat Arun temple is one of the most beautiful and old ones in Bangkok. It is the image of the culture from the history that stand still along Jow Phraya River.
In these area around Grand Palace have so many interesting things to discover. There are food everywhere and transportations are easy to access anywhere. From here I could either walk or took a short ride less then 10 minuites to one of the most famous tourist attraction like Kow San Road. At Kow San Road you will see a lot of foreigner people more then local people. There are tons of bars and restaurants along the road side. This street is a walking street and at night is quite fun because there are more vendors and Thai handmade stuff on the street where you can shope for gifts etc.
One of my favorite spot is the Jatujak weekend market. It is the world largest market in the world. They only open on the weekend and here I could find everything from pets, plants, handmade stuff, fine arts, painting, clothes, jewelry and furnitures and food. I could spend a whole day walking around. I always get distract here because there are just so many things to look for and I just had to warn you about the pick poket. I have to be careful here. There are tons of people all over come to the weekend market so traffic could get real bad so another great way to get here is by sky train. It is easy, fast and convenient.
After a long day of walking in the biggest market in the world. There is way to pampering myself like Spa - Thai spa is extreamly relaxing. I really love spa here in Bangkok. There are plently of choices from many high end hotel. I highly recommend to try out Thai spa and Thai massage. This experiment is absolutely wonderul and relaxing. Then hit on the rooftop at night to enjoy the skyline view of Bangkok. This is a luxurious, exotic and fun TravelChic destination style!
I always have a great time here in Bangkok. It is a big city so I would suggest peope who are going to visit in Bagnkok to spend more then five days at least. Now I really want to go back to Bangkok. I start to think about food vendors and all the fun stuff so I am looking forward for the next trip soon and anytime I travel back to Bangkok. I will keep updates with new episode videos from new bars and restaurants. Cheers!
