What makes Khlong Ong Ang Walking Street different from other graffiti-filled streets is that there’s also a canal in the middle of the street. Don’t be surprised if you find people kayaking along the canal – you may even consider doing it yourself!
When you feel like taking a break, stop by one of the food and drink stalls along the streets. Whether it’s to take a breather as you drink drip coffee or enjoy Indian food to fill your empty stomach, you’ll find the experience much more exciting.

There are tons of night markets available in Bangkok, but if you’re short on time, we recommend visiting The One Ratchada and Srinagarindra Train Night Market.
The former is smaller and centrally located with great eats and shopping available. The latter on the other hand, is a huge night market with antiques and second-hand goods, on top of the usual night market finds – you can even spot vintage cars and motorcycles here!

5. Day Trips From Bangkok
Bangkok may be full of malls, shopping, and food, but it’s also close to gorgeous cities worth taking a day trip to explore. History fans will love Ayutthaya and Kanchanaburi, the old capital of Thailand, and a town best known for the Death Railway that was built during WWII.
If you prefer to chill and relax, then you have to visit Suan Phueng with its countryside charm and a sheep farm! We also recommend visiting Khao Yai for the cooler weather and European vibes – you’ll feel like you’re not in Thailand! Otherwise, you can also visit Hua Hin if you're craving a short getaway to the beach!
6. Benchakitti Forest Park

There’s a forest in downtown Bangkok? Well... not exactly. But with all the wetland area and lush greenery, Benchakitti Forest Park definitely looks like one. There are elevated walkways that light up at night with cycling paths, and jogging tracks where you can exercise or take a stroll in the early morning or afternoon.

It's also an aesthetic spot for photos, perfectly balancing tranquil scenery and an urban cityscape - this lovely park feels almost like New York City’s Central Park!

7. Rattanakosin Exhibition Hall

You’ll get to visit different places along the river, such as ICONSIAM and the Grand Palace - while basking in the river breeze and facing no traffic!

Here, you’ll find a wide array of food that’ll satisfy even the pickiest eater, from light bites like skewers, dim sum, and roasted chestnuts to heavyweights like clay pot rice, grilled seafood, and peking duck.
With this many food options, it’s no surprise that some of the stalls are awarded by Michelin – take the Michelin-star Chinatown food tour to make sure you don’t miss any of them!

Not sure where to start? Siam Paragon is your go-to mall for high-end brands – it has a cinema, Kidzania, and a huge aquarium too, in case you’re ever bored eating and shopping. For branded goods at a discount, we recommend visiting Siam Premium Outlets or Central Village where you’ll find brands like Coach and Balenciaga having year-round sales.

For great Pad Thai, we recommend visiting Thipsamai and ordering their Pad Thai with shrimp oil, deep-sea prawn, and egg – it’s so umami that you'll order a second plate as you take your first bite.
Pe Aor Tom Yum Kung Noodle also makes great tom yum noodles, perfect for Tom Yum lovers – with seafood, tom yum, and noodles combined, you’ve got a winner right there. For comfort food, Go Ang Pratunam’s Chicken Rice will do just the trick, best eaten together with its spicy sauce and warm soup on the side.
