Bangkok, Baby! 9 Cool Adventures You Can’t Miss

by Giles | August 6, 2024 | Travel Blogs, Uncategorized

Bangkok is one wild ride! It’s bustling, it’s hot, and yes, the traffic’s a bit crazy, but there’s a magic to this city that’s truly irresistible. From vibrant markets and mouth-watering street food to an electrifying nightlife, Bangkok is a feast for the senses! On our recent family adventure, we spent three unforgettable nights in this city, and here are the nine coolest outings that had the whole family buzzing with excitement:

Sky-High Sips: Sip on a refreshing drink at one of Bangkok’s fabulous rooftop bars. We kicked back at the Centara Watergate’s rooftop bar with its stunning views. The Lebua Hotel is another glamorous choice, but be warned—those views come with a pricier tab!
Temple Treasures: Dive into a half-day city tour to explore Bangkok’s majestic temples. Don’t miss Wat Pho, home to one of Thailand’s largest reclining Buddhas, stretching an impressive 15 meters!
Cat Cuddles at Caturday: Calling all cat lovers! Caturday Cafe is your purr-fect spot. Enjoy a delicious milkshake surrounded by an array of adorable felines of all shapes and sizes.
Tuk Tuk Taste Adventure: Hop on a tuk-tuk and embark on a nighttime food tour, exploring Bangkok’s culinary delights. For the best Pad Thai in town, Thipsamai is an absolute must-visit.
Riverfront Relaxation at Jack’s Bar: Nestled on the Chao Phraya River, Jack’s Bar is the ultimate chill spot. Enjoy tasty eats and mesmerizing views over the river—pure bliss!
Market Marvels: Take a trip to Maeklong Train Market and Damnoen Floating Market. These iconic markets just outside of Bangkok are a must-see and totally worth the adventure.
Lumphini Park Leisure: Escape the hustle and bustle with a serene stroll in Lumphini Park. It’s Bangkok’s version of Central Park, perfect for a breath of fresh air and a leisurely walk or run with the locals.
Breakfast Bliss: Start your day at Breakfast Story, where the service is amazing, and the breakfasts are the best in town. Trust us, you won’t leave hungry!
Foot Massage Fun: No trip to Bangkok (or Thailand, for that matter) is complete without indulging in a traditional foot massage. After exploring the city’s streets, your feet will thank you!

These adventures will make your Bangkok experience unforgettable !
