Stayed at Siri Sathorn Executive Serviced Apartments - Bangkok, Thailand.
|
There are a number of decent restaurants close to the Siri Sathorn Apts., including a Jim Thompson cafe down the same block, Anna's Cafe, an upscale Italian place, etc. The spectacular outdoor rooftop bar/restaurant called Vertigo, on the 61st floor of the nearby Banyon Tree Hotel, is worth visiting for a drink (at 2 or 3 times the price anywhere else), but the food was less than stellar and very expensive by Bangkok standards. The tour to Attaya by bus from the Shangri-La Hotel and then back by boat, with a nice lunch onboard, made an enjoyable day trip. Traffic is so bad in the city (e.g., red lights that literally last for 7 or 8 minutes) that while taxis are very cheap, the skytrain often makes more sense. Tuk-tuks (and even the backs of motorcycles) are for the more adventurous, but can be hair-raising. Jim Thompson's House is very interesting, and the main Jim Thompson store makes for one-stop gift buying, if one is looking for silk scarves and ties.

Go to The Cotton House in Oriental Place for superbly tailored clothing. While not the cheapest around, you do get what you pay for...We have a closet full of Thai silk, linen and cotton goods they have made for us over the past seven years, and love all of them. Try Harmonique off New Road for great Thai food at reasonable prices...and they ALWAYS have mango sticky rice for dessert!

Stayed at Baiyoke Sky Hotel - Bangkok, Thailand.

Bangkok is the place really worth seeing. Plenty of interesting places for sightseeing, but be careful with taxi drivers. They could take You not to the place You want, but where they are receiving commission. "Seafood Market" at Sukumvit 24 is really perfect place for "seafood lovers"

Pratunam Plaza was excellent value for lunch meals. Also Thai massages here was extremely cheap (without bargaining too)!

Stayed at Pinnacle Hotel Lumpinee - Bangkok, Thailand.
|
This was my 5th visit to Bangkok, and the place was as hot and friendly as usual. There are numerous inexpensive and good Thai restaurants near the Pinnacle Hotel. There are fewer tourists in the Rama IV area than at Silom or Sukhumvit, which means that prices are a bit lower there.

Stayed at Majestic Suites - Bangkok, Thailand.
|
Getting around - Pick up a copy of the visitor guide where there's a 10 baht discount on the Skytrain (i.e MRT/Tube). Basically just use the Skytrain for everything. Cheap, fast and brings you to the major shopping centers and street markets.
Food - the Little Kitchen, Greyhound Cafe at Central Chid Lom is very good. Food is also generally cheaper in bangkok (as compared to Singapore)

Stayed at Asia Bangkok Hotel - Bangkok, Thailand.
|
We visit Bangkok at least twice a year. The thai food, shopping and massage/spa never disappoint us.
For good thai food with nice ambience, we recommend Baan Khanita & Blue Elephant.
If you enjoy shopping at Chatuchak (exclude the sunny weather), be sure to visit Suan Lum Night Bazaar although the price can be higher than Chatuchak. But don't hesitate to bargain.
Massage & spa are easily available everywhere in Bangkok, but we like Marble House (for thai massage) and Dulaya Spa especially.
Travelling in Bangkok is breeze. You can reach most places by BTS and MRT. Otherwise, the racy tuk-tuk is fun for short distance.

Stayed at Mandarin Bangkok, The - Bangkok, Thailand.
|
Bangkok is, of course, one of the world's great destination cities. The new subway, along with the Skytrain, make getting around easy. My favourite restaurant remains Cabbages & Condoms, on Sukhumvit 12 - excellent Thai food with a quirky atmosphere.

Stayed at Montien Hotel Bangkok - Bangkok, Thailand.
|
This is what I did in Bangkok over three days, and had a fantastic time:
Day 1: Take a ferry up the Chao Praya river to Wat Pho and the Grand Palace. Fantastic! You can catch a quick cab to the ferry pier from the hotel. Can do everything in half a day or more. Avoid tuk-tuk drivers - they're all scam sharks, and will try to take you to tourist shops where they get a commission!! Use only metered taxis.
Day 2: Take the skytrain (near Montien hotel) to Jim Thompson's House and spend a couple of hours looking around his wonderful old thai home. Have lunch at Ly Lys (about 25 minute walk past Siam Centre). Then go to Lumphinee Stadium for evening Muay Thai session (thai kick boxing). Walk past night bazaar on way back to skytrain station afterwards.
Excellent thai restaurants: De River Bar and The Good View (both on the river). Both heavily attended by thai locals.
Day 3: Organised tour to ancient Siamese ruins at Ayutthaya. Catch an air-conditioned coach to the ancient city and a river barge back (with buffet lunch). Pleasant, informative day with spectacular entry into Bangkok by river in late afternoon.
All of these can easily be done from the Montien hotel. Avoid taxis organised by the hotel's front door staff. They're VERY expensive. Simply walk 20 metres to the main road and hail a metered cab instead.
