BANGKOK 

"ONE NIGHT IN BANGKOK AND THE WORLDS YOUR OYSTER", THATS SO TRUE. 

BANGKOK IS A GREAT PLACE TO EAT AND PARTY. THERE ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT LOCATIONS AND PLACES TO VISIST THAT I WILL ONLY PROVIDE YOU WITH A LIST OF THINGS YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN VISITING. 

GENERAL INFORMATION:

BANGKOK HAS 2 AIRPORTS (DON MUEANG AND SUVARNABHUMI) WHICH ARE BOTH OUTSIDE OF THE CITY. 

• PRICES BY TAXI TO GO DOWNTOWN ARE AROUND 200 - 300 BHAT EXCLUDING HIGHWAY TOLL.
• THE CHEAPEST WAY TO GET AROUND THE CITY ARE THE BTS OR MRT (SKYTRAIN OR SUBWAY) AND OFFER YOU A VARIETY OF OPTIONS.
• IF YOU LIKE TO TRAVEL BY CAR, THE BANGKOK TAXIS ARE THE CHEAPEST WAY (CHEAPER THAN GRAB) BUT YOU HAVE TO ALWAYS ASK FOR THE TAXI METER.
• SHOULD THE DRIVER NOT USE IT, ASK HIM TO STOP AND LET YOU OUT- OTHERWISE YOU WILL PAY A LOT OF MONEY

PLACES TO VISIT:

KAO SAN ROAD

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR PARTY, THATS THE PLACE

THE GRAND PALACE

THE "KINGS", CHILLHOUSE IS FOR SURE A MUST DO IN BANGKOK. DON´T FORGET TO WEAR LONG PANTS. I WOULD RECOMMEND YOU TO TAKE A TOURGUIDE WHO WILL TELL YOU VERY INTERESSTING FACTS ABOUT THE PLACE. COSTS: ENTRY ~20EURO, GUIDE ~30 EURO. 

SIAM NIRAMIT

SIAM NIRAMIT WILL BRING YOU BACK IN THE ACIENT TIMES OF BANGKOK. AT THE THEATER OF SIAM YOU WILL SEE THE WORLD BIGGEST STAGE. THE SHOW IS JUST "WOW", FOR ME PERSONALLY ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF BKK. PRICE IS AROUND 30€, BUT YOU´LL HAVE A BIG BUFFET INCLUDED. CLICK

SOY COWBOY

SIMILAR TO THE "REPERBAHN" IN HAMBURG AND A GOOD PLACE TO HAVE SOME BEERS AND ENJOY THE NIGHTLIFE OF BANGKOK. 

SIAM SHOPPING CENTER (SIAM PARAGON)

TAKE THE SKYTRAIN TO SIAM SHOPPING CENTER AND HAVE THE GREATEST SHOPPING EXPERIENCE OF YOUR LIFE. YOU CAN FIND NEARLY EVERYTHING IN THOSE 6! SHOPPING CENTERS.
