1.1 Spades
Hostel
Starting with the hostels, I checked into Spades
hostel, it is one of the posh hostels, I have
come across with lovely interiors and the place is spick and span. If you're
looking for peace and no disturbance then Spades is the one for you.
The market, local food, massage centers are all
nearby and are easily accessible by walk. The interaction between travelers is
less in this hostel. It is suitable for people who love spending quality time
with oneself.
1.2 Hostel 16
The hostel 16 is one of my best experiences so far. You can interact with different nationalities from all over the world. The host is friendly and will guide you in all possible ways to explore Bangkok by serving the best local cuisines at an affordable price.
2.1 Pratunam Market
2.2 Khao San Road
The road is fun-filled with shopping, neon lights, bars, loud music and a lot of entertainment. You can try different things like braiding your hair with the color of your choice, get a tattoo, shop till you drop, eat street food and try their exotic scorpions, watch street dancers perform live and meet people from all over the world
2.3 Major Cineplex Sukhmvit
The feeling of watching movie all by yourself in itself is a different experience all together. Major Cineplex Sukhmvit is a comfortable, clean and elegant looking place where if you have some time in Bangkok, then should go and watch a movie. It is located near to BTS Ekamai station.
2.4 Night Markets
The concept of night market is pretty compelling. It’s spread across various places in Thailand like Bangkok, Pattaya & Phuket. The main attraction of these markets are their small lightings with individual tent shaped stalls offering variety of local cuisines, wines, beer and live band for merriment.
3.1 Learn Basic Thai
In Thailand the first and foremost thing that you need to know is that English is not widely spoken. Brush over your basics in Thai is an added advantage to make your travel hassle-free, I highly recommend to go through these basic Thai words for your day to day survival in Thailand.
Thank you is widely used with a smile in Thailand wherever you travel.
Thank you- Male (Khrap khun kha), Female (Khap khun kha)
