Looking for secret spots in Bangkok known only to locals over well-known attractions? Here are some of the hidden jewels for you to visit, for a holiday to remember!
The massive pot of traditional beef stew in Bangkok has been boiling since Nattapong Kaweenuntawong was a youngster, more than 45 years ago. Kaweenuntawong learned the exact taste profile of the stew from his father as a child and now balances the flavour himself on a daily basis. He adopts an old technique in which he begins the basis of the following day's soup using part of the previous day's leftover stock. This is definitely an exciting thing to try!
Two hectares of woodland area, immediately west of Suvarnabhumi airport, was once a dumping place. Today, Metro Forest has been turned into a natural habitat and wetland with elevated pathways and instructive exhibits on green living. If you would like a peaceful stroll to escape the rush of the city, this is an ideal stop.
Looking for an activity that will keep you occupied for a really long time? Go around Bangkok, spotting buildings that are quirky or unusual! Bangkok is home to a plethora of odd structures of various odd forms and styles. The city's eclectic past is mirrored in its architecture, which includes ancient temples next to towering contemporary buildings. It's a very unusual blend of architecture, and will keep you from getting bored! If you're staying at Anantara Siam Bangkok Hotel, you won't have to travel too far to spot these fun structures.
There's nothing better than bar hopping in a new and exciting city! Explore Bangkok's Secret Garden and so much more. There are plenty of rooftop bars, hidden bars and fun bars to venture into while you're exploring the city. Of course, this is a great activity to do with good company and people that you enjoy being around. What's a better combination than good music, good drinks and great company?
If you think abandoned buildings are cool, then stop by the renowned Sathorn Unique Tower. The tower's construction began in 1990 but was abruptly halted due to the financial crisis, and the skyscraper has been vacant and deteriorating for almost 30 years. You are not permitted to enter the site since it is surrounded by a fence; however, it makes for a great photo opportunity! There are plenty of interesting stories regarding this tower, which may intrigue you even more!
You can get up close and personal with these fluffy pals because there are around 30 Siberian huskies in this one-of-a-kind cafe! There are also other breeds such as Australian shepherds and ancient English sheepdogs. The dogs are properly cared for, and the café is clean and inviting. You can't book a slot here and everything is done on a first-come, first-served basis. You can enjoy a meal or two while you're here!
