Bangkok - 1 week Itinerary

We came to this hotel for the 3rd time. It’s located on Sukhumvit road, near Ekkamai BTS station. Close to the city center. This hotel has 2 swimming pools. Which pool is yours depends on the room you stay in. I love the rooftop pool! There is also a gym with everything you need to stay in shape. This time we chose a 2 bedroom apartment where I enjoyed stunning morning and night views and mesmerizing sunsets. There is a kitchen, fridge, washing machine. The bathroom is clean, with a large mirror. The main room is nice and spacious. And the dining table. Sofa with TV where you can watch Netflix. They good coffee in the room. The view from the balcony is Wow! I love room service and the kindness and friendliness of hotel’s stuff.

Pool After arriving to the hotel and taking a shower I went to the rooftop pool. This hotel has 2 swimming pools. Which pool is yours depends on the room you stay in. I love the rooftop pool and was so happy that our room has an access to the rooftop pool. But if it’s too hot outside, then the pool with the roof on the 7th floor can be a great escape from the heat. There is also a gym with everything you need to stay in shape.

We were tired, so we went to this local Thai restaurant near the hotel for dinner. This is currently my favorite Isaan - Thai restaurant in the city. Obsessed with their food! After you get to the restaurant, you will see ladies making Somtum - Thai salads. Important tip! Ask for a level of spiciness / not spicy at all. Thai food can be very spicy and many foreigners can’t handle it! Dishes to order: - Sticky rice - 25 THB / $0.72 - Laos traditional Papaya salad - 90 THB / $2.58 - Laos traditional Pomelo salad - 120 THB / $3.45 - Thai apple salad - 90 THB / $2.58 - Spicy minced duck herbs salad - 145 THB / $4.16 - Steamed sea bass served with steamed vegetables and chili dipping sauce - 425 THB / $12.2 - Tender Coconut ice cream - 50 THB / $1.44

Breakfast at the hotel We woke up early and went to have breakfast at the hotel. The breakfasts are absolutely delicious. They have an egg menu, where you can order 2 eggs of any style, The buffet offers meat, veggies and cereal. Nice coffee, juices, pastries and fruit. I ordered omelette and my boyfriend got fried eggs. Everything was delicious!

Raan Jay Fai We couldn’t wait to visit this this famous Mishelin-starred restaurant. If you’ve watched the popular Netflix series “Street Food Asia” you’ve probably seen Jay Fan in action. This iconic place, run by a hard-working and talented street food vendor, has become a must-visit destination for foodies from all over the world. This lady is amazing! And she makes all the dishes by herself! This restaurant is open Wednesday through Saturday from 9 am to 9 pm. We came at 2 pm on Thursday and had to wait in line for 2 hours to get a seat, but it was worth it! Make sure you arrive early as the Waiting list was full at 4 pm. While we were waiting in a queue we decided to visit another restaurant close by (Thipsamai - check below). Important tip: If you’re going to Jay Fai with someone else, make sure one person goes to check the queue every 15 min. IF YOU MISS YOUR TURN - THEY WON’T LET YOU IN! And then we finally got in! We ordered her famous Crab Omelette and it was absolutely delicious! Also tried her dry Tom Yum. OMG it was so good! It’s clear why people are willing to wait for hours to try her food.

Thipsamai While we were waiting in the wings to try the Crab omelette, we stopped by Thipsamai for an hour. Some say this place serves THE BEST PAD THAI in Bangkok, so we had to find out. And you know what?The hype around Thipsamai in Bangkok is real. From the moment you step foot in this legendary little restaurant, the aroma of freshly fried noodles and herbs hits you and it's like nothing else matters. The Pad Thai is definitely the star of the show, with a perfect balance of sweet, sour, and spicy flavors. And what makes it so unique is the stir-fry technique that preserves the texture of the noodles, combined with the freshness of the ingredients, including peanuts, tofu, and shrimp. Also their spring rolls are crispy and delicate, filled with juicy pork and vegetables. And you simply cannot miss their famous orange juice, made with the sweet and tangy Nam Dok Mai oranges from Thailand's Chanthaburi province. Thipsamai has been serving up the best Pad Thai in Bangkok since 1966, and they're still going strong. It's no wonder that it's a must-visit destination for foodies from all around the world. Everything was delicious!

After our meal we were so full. So we decided to take a short walk and visit the Wat Saket temple. Such a beautiful temple and area. I wasn’t wearing appropriate clothing (unfortunately) since we didn’t plan to visit this temple so they didn’t let me in. But even walking around the temple was amazing. I know that if you want to enter the temple you must pay 100 THB and they also give you free coconut water. While walking around, we noticed this beautiful cave. So I was satisfied with our experience anyway.

While walking, we found this beautiful district with local vibes. Such a nice area for pictures! And we spotted the sunset! So beautiful.

We ended our day with a relaxing foot Massage at the SPA located at our hotel. Every day, our legs constantly work for us. Especially when we walk a lot. That's why you need to give them a break and treat yourself to a foot massage. It not only provides relaxation to your legs but also improves your overall health and your whole body. Thanks to the incredible therapist, I felt so much better and relaxed after my foot massage. And I highly recommend getting this experience if you’re in Bangkok.

For lunch we went to “Kub Kao Kub Pla”. One of my favorite Thai restaurants in Bangkok. I like to go there for lunch. The name of the place translates as “dishes to eat with rice”. For me, their Tom Yum is the best I’ve had in Bangkok. This is spicy Tom Your cream soup with prawns and young coconut. The soup has so much flavor in it. And I love the creamy texture of real coconut. You must try it here! The next dish to order is Pomelo salad. This salad is sweet, flavorful and juicy. Just perfect. Their Papaya salad with salted crab is made with so many veggies and herbs. This is what I like most about Thai salads. Please, try their coconut dip with Crab meat. The creamiest and yummiest dip here! You eat this dish with rice, different vegetables, Thai baby eggplants and edible flowers. If you’re still hungry - get Crab balloon omelette! It’s delicious. So good!

Then we went to this amazing luxury SPA to get authentic Thai Massage. We got a 2 hour couples Thai massage and it was amazing. They gave us drinks and fruit. And I truly enjoyed the 2 hours we spent there. Tips: 1. If you’re afraid of pain - ask for light pressure. If you’re fine with moderate pain - medium (I get medium). I never asked for strong pressure. Even medium level isn’t easy to handle for beginners. 2. Try to relax and enjoy. Thai massage is a pretty cool experience!

Sunset at Tichuca bar You must have seen this beautiful place on Instagram and wanna visit it and take nice pictures there. - Get ready to wait in line for 10-15 min to enter the place. - Get ready to get the best shot for a long time coz there’re so many people around. - This place is very crowded (Especially during sunset) and everyone takes the same pictures with this incredible creation. - My favorite part about this place is the city view. It’s amazing! I enjoyed stunning panoramic views from different parts of the bar. And I think we were lucky to see such an amazing sunset. - If you like sweet cocktails - you’ll love their signature pineapple cocktail. 500 baht with taxes. Looks pretty and perfect for pictures, but too much sugar for me. - This place isn’t for food. And the French fries were 5 out of 10. So are we here just for the atmosphere? Especially when it gets dark and the place is lit up. And you just look at the sparkling lights and the city at night. The view of the city at night was fantastic. Conclusion: This place is worth visiting once, getting a drink, taking pictures, enjoying the view and going somewhere else for good food or a party (depends on the timing).

This is another rooftop bar BUT with good food. My friends came to Bangkok for the weekend. So I needed to find a nice place for a girl’s night out and I chose Octave. We went there for the wine, yummy food, beautiful city view and atmosphere. We ordered: - a bottle of white wine - mini cheeseburgers and shrimp burgers - salad - cheese & cold cuts plate Everything was delicious and we enjoyed the vibes.

For lunch we went to this Thai restaurant, mentioned in the Michelin guide. This place definitely made an impression on me. I was amazed by the vintage interior and delicious Thai food. Food to order: - They have “The Fish of the day” so you can ask them what are the options. We got deep-fried sea bass with tangy mango salad - Pomelo salad with shrimps - “Bai Cha Kram” with coconut cream and crab meats - And Coconut dipping with fresh crab and Thai herbs I loved this place and the food here. So if you’re in Bangkok, make sure to visit this authentic Thai restaurant with outstanding interior.

Must-Visit! Such an interesting mall in Bangkok. Terminal 21 Asok mall in Bangkok is definitely a unique shopping destination. The mall's distinct feature is its themed floors, each designed like a different international city. From London to Tokyo, Istanbul to San Francisco, stepping onto each floor feels like entering a different country, complete with amazing facades, decor, and even music. We enjoyed exploring this beautiful mall! Also tried delicious baked cheese tarts on the fifth floor.

Next stop - Ong Ang Walking Street in Chinatown, which is my favorite part of the area. I love it here! It’s one of Bangkok’s newest tourist attractions and it’s open from 16.00 to 22.00 Friday to Sunday. There is a market, live music, street art, street food, kayaks on the canal & more. It has a great atmosphere and is well worth checking out for street entertainment and food. Especially for my favorite Fried Sweet Potato Balls from this cute old lady. Ong Ang Walking Street stretches for 800 meters from Damrong Sathit bridge to Bophitphimuk bridge on both sides of the canal. Khlong Ong Ang is one of the oldest waterways in Bangkok, dating back to 1783 in the reign of King Rama 1. Tips: - Come after 5 pm to spot the sunset - Take your time and explore - Try delicious street food - everything is sooo good - Enjoy the atmosphere.

You have to visit this Chinese restaurant in Bangkok. It has a Michelin Bib-gourmand award and the food is delicious! Located in the heart of Chinatown. And it proves that this area isn’t only about street food. Once you get inside, you’ll be amazed by the authentic Chinese interior. It’s so beautiful. This restaurant has been around for more than 50 years. It has been remodeled by the second-generation owner who strives to make every aspect of the dining experience pleasurable. I recommend trying: - Sweet and sour pork - Crab fried rice - Stir-fried chicken with cashews We truly enjoyed the food here! And I highly recommend visiting this place.

Party time! I went to this night club with my friends and it’s one of my favorites. It’s a dark, stylish night club with Chinese style decor. Each night has a theme. One night the artists were swinging under the ceiling and dancing inside the DJ booth. This night the entire club was decorated with monkey toys. The atmosphere is amazing. Every night there is a different style of music. International and local DJ’s. The vibe is insane. Everyone is dancing, enjoying the music, and no one cares. As if this place was created to escape from reality.

Would you seat on the transparent glass on the 78th floor in Bangkok? This is my number 1 activity in Thailand! Located on top of the country's tallest building, the King Power Mahanakhon Tower. You can get a ticket downstairs. Price packages start from 920 Baht. Walking the see-through glass floor on the 78th floor over, 310 meters above the ground was such an amazing experience! This is without a doubt the best city view you can get in Bangkok! So beautiful! I enjoyed this experience a lot!

If you’re craving authentic Italian pasta in Bangkok, you must visit this place. Their pasta is simply the best! This Tuscan restaurant is selected by the Michelin guide. It’s run by former chefs of Bottega di Luca and Appia. And they offer delicious dishes made with the freshest ingredients and authentic Italian recipes. And their wine selection is impressive. We went there for lunch and we were more than satisfied with the food, wine and atmosphere! It was amazing! First, they gave us focaccia with olive oil and vinegar. This flat oven-baked Italian bread was so good! As we came for the pasta, we expected nothing but absolutely delicious! Oh, and of course, their pasta is homemade! I ordered Pici Pasta with Sausage and Porcini Mushroom Ragu. Also tried the special dish of the day - octopus bruschetta. And panzanella salad with tomatoes and celery. The pasta has exceeded our expectations! Pici is thick, hand-rolled pasta, like fat spaghetti. It originates in the province of Siena in Tuscany, so it’s a must- try in a Tuscany restaurant! I enjoyed my meal like there was no tomorrow! At the end they offered us homemade digestive liquors. Their pea flower limoncello was so unique and yummy! And another liquid was made from Italian leaves and had an exotic taste. After our meal and 2 shots of strong alcohol in the afternoon, we were very happy and a bit tipsy. So I can truly recommend this restaurant!

Would you ride a ferris wheel and meet the best sunset on the river in Bangkok? If you’re traveling to Thailand this is a must-visit spot of your trip. Asiatique The Riverfront is a place with stunning sunsets and a Ferris wheel that provides one of the best views of Bangkok. It’s absolutely amazing. One of the highlights of the Asiatique experience is the Ferris wheel. Ticket price for an adult is 500 baht. And for kids - 200 baht. This Ferris wheel offers an impressive panoramic view of the city from up high. Truly fantastic experience!

For dinner we went to try the Crab Omelette at this 1 Michelin star Thai restaurant in Bangkok. The restaurant has been awarded 1 Michelin star for the last 4 years! Khao - the name of the place means “rice” in Thai, an ingredient that is so central to Thai cuisine that it has the general meaning of “food”. - I started my culinary experience here with Lemon Butterfly Pea Flower juice with lime sorbet floating. Sweet and sour, this drink was just perfect. - Then I had the best Pomelo salad I’ve ever tried. Tossed pomelo with fresh coconut cream, minced prawns and chicken, seasoned with salt, lime and crispy bites, wasn’t spicy at all but well - balanced with a mild flavor. - The Crispy butterfly pea flower salad with prawns and shredded pork was also tasty and unique. - My favorite Coconut chicken soup. They prepare chicken broth for at least 2 hours and use chicken thighs for extra tenderness. - The star of the evening was Crab omelette - Khai Jiew. The trick to this fluffy omelette is whipping the eggs and adding chunks of crab meat, Thai basil and sliced shallots. A deep frying pan is used to make the omelette thick and crusty on the outside and juicy inside. This dish was absolutely delicious! - Also had Crab roe dip. Thai dips are a mix of intense flavors that can be enjoyed with rice, fresh and boiled vegetables and side dishes. The premium crab roe they used for this dip was so flavorful, a bit spicy and juicy. Pairs well with fresh veggies. - And dessert time! I ordered corn tea which was similar to corn soup. Red jasmine rice ice cream with coconut and pandan custard. So yummy! - And strawberries that are stuffed in tapioca flour pearls. This is the restaurant’s signature dessert that you must try and it’s so good. It was the perfect sweet ending. 10/10 dinner!

This is probably the most beautiful SPA I’ve been too in my life. I had such an amazing SPA day here! Located in Wyndham Bangkok Queen hotel on the 28th floor. As soon as you get inside, you’ll be amazed by the English garden inspired interior. Flowers are everywhere. And when they give you cold Camomile tea, you can drink it while enjoying this fantastic view of the city from the 28th floor. It’s so beautiful! Started with the Himalayan salt sauna, followed by the “Himalayan Salt Stone Massage” and finished with the jacuzzi… it was perfect. This place is a paradise!

For lunch we went to try the best curry crab in Bangkok! The restaurant, which is famous for this dish, opened in 1969. And its overall excellent service earned the plate award from Michelin guide. Unlike other Thai dishes, fried curry crab is more sweet than spicy. It often uses red curry paste cooked with coconut milk and a blend of herbs and spices. Trust me - it’s absolutely delicious! I also tried their spicy raw crab salad, 2 vegetable dishes, and deep-fried Seabass with sweet fish sauce. And everything we had in this place was so good.

This is my favorite shopping mall in Bangkok. This mall has it all. From luxury brands to more affordable high street fashion brands. This place also has lots of restaurants and a cool atrium garden with a man-made waterfall. The mall is divided into 3 zones. I was most impressed by The Waterfall Quarter. This area is so beautiful. The mall is covered in greenery. You just need to see it with your own eyes.

I love this pink bar. This is one of my favorite bars in Bangkok. They have yummy cocktails and delicious food! It’s located in the coolest mall in Bangkok - Emquartier. The vibe is amazing! This is a cozy pink-style bar with DJ and nice music. And a view of the city from your table. They have an oyster bar here with fresh oysters from all over the world. Good cocktails and food. I got Mojito and nachos with guacamole, tomato salsa and cheese sauce. Everything was delicious! I enjoyed the food and drinks.

This is the coolest facial I’ve ever had in Bangkok, Thailand. The spa is located in Wyndham garden hotel where we stayed. The facial I had was an “eye treatment with head scalp massage”. This is a 7-step eye treatment, including cleansing, nourishing and an eye mask. The steam in the room opens clogged pores on the face and the whole experience is just on another level of relaxation. It feels so good! This treatment protects you from oily scalp, itchy skin and dandruff. Since the skin around our eyes is very sensitive and easy wrinkled, it’s important to nourish it. At the end there is a hot camomile tea and cute heart-shaped Thai desserts. I really enjoyed my SPA day here!

I was so excited to visit this mall. IconSiam is the most impressive shopping mall in Bangkok. It's located next to the Chao Phraya River, and has over 7,000 shops, 100 restaurants and even a floating market. The indoor floating market truly impressed me. And in the evening there is a water light show. Such a unique and incredible shopping mall that you can’t miss!

This seafood restaurant has such an amazing view in Bangkok! Their seafood dishes are absolutely delicious! It’s located in Icon Siam, the most famous mall in Bangkok. The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating. This restaurant is part of a huge chain of 40 brunches across the country. They use the freshest seafood and provide excellent customer service. We started with this vegetable dish with salted fish and garlic. Then had the Thai style Crab fried rice with so much crab meat! And raw crab with spicy Thai salad. It was so good! We enjoyed our meal and the evening lights of the city. Had a wonderful time here.

Fast and easy check-out. The stuff went to our room to check if everything was okay. It literally took 5 minutes. Honestly, this is now one of my favorite hotels in Bangkok. This place has it all. And it feels like home. We enjoyed our staying here.
