willow Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 BKKSC has given a good list. However the food courts in all the shopping malls are very average in my view. So I would add eat Thai street food. The food in the MK chain is also not that great it is the same in all MK's so I would give it a miss. I know some Thai girls like to eat there but the street food or what you get from a small local restraurant is much better in my view.(and much cheaper) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kopite Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Tapatalk seems to crash if I try to edit the above. Anyway the other pics are the hell garden at wat muang, Buddhamonthon park and the giant Ganesh. Wat pai rong wua is also pretty cool, tonnes of really big Buddha statues.

Sc1967 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Although not in bangkok, a day trip visit to Ayuthaya up the river is interesting. The temples are all in ruins but it was the capital a few hundred years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
