Things To Do
Khaosan Road
We love a good day/night down Khao San road. You will find cheap beer, street food, and souvenirs. Remember to bargain! Quick tip: Divide the price by 30 to get a general idea of the price in dollars.
Wat Chana Songkhram Ratchaworamahawihan
This Wat this in walking distance from Khao San road. If you choose to visit a wat, please dress modestly. Women should wear pants or a dress that goes past the knees. Men should wear shirts that cover the shoulder.
Taling Chan Floating Market
I live in the Taling Chan neighborhood so this is not far from the wedding venue and hotel. Just tell the cab to take you here. I recommend arriving early (right when the open) because it gets hot super quick. Pack a hat, bring a folding fan, and water. You can try boat noodles here and one of my favorite desserts (Kanome Tuy- coconut dessert)! There is also some small shopping spots here.
ASIATIQUE The Riverfront
This place is lovely and is owned by one of our family friends! This is a great place to stroll at night. There's great food, drinks, and shopping that overlooks the Bangkok river. The Ferris wheel is a must if you want to see the Thailand skyline!
Icon Siam
Sick and tired of the heat?! Take a stroll through Icon Siam where the ac is cold, food options are endless, and name-brand stores galore. You will find the standard H&M, Uniqlo, and even Chanel stores here. Plan ahead- traffic is crazy. Get a taxi and not a tuk-tuk for this trip. If you're up for an adventure, find the train to take you there!
At-Mosphere Rooftop Cafe'
This is a small chill bar located in a neighborhood overlooking some of the Bangkok skyline.
Sky Bar Bangkok
Tip: Make a reservation ahead of time! Rooftop cocktail bar located on the 63rd floor of a 820-ft. skyscraper & hotel with city views. It is on the other side of the river so plan to leave early by a taxi. Also, be aware some taxi's might want to drop you off half way there and you'll need to get another taxi back to the hotel. Just always let them know where you're going prior to getting in just in case they say no.
Rooftop Bar at sala rattanakosin Bangkok
Beautiful view of the temples and water... Ryan and I went here for a date a few years ago and enjoyed a lovely dinner by the water.
Huen Lamphun
My family eats here at least once a week. The price is just right and the food is amazing. It's a few minutes from our house if you'd like to stop by here for lunch after our wedding ceremony Friday morning.
26 Soi Sukhumvit 11
One of the many Michelin stars of Thailand. It is far from the hotel so this might be a great addition to a day trip if you're going towards Siam.
Central Rama 9 (Mall with food)
I grew up going to this mall after school. We paid all our bills here, watched movies, bowled, and ate food. This is considered one of the "smaller" malls but it has so much food! Find BBQ (green dragon outside the door) or MK BBQ. It's our favorite spot. You can even try Thai McDonalds here ha!
Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya
Ayutthaya is a city in Thailand, about 80 kilometers north of Bangkok. It was capital of the Kingdom of Siam, and a prosperous international trading port, from 1350 until razed by the Burmese in 1767. The ruins of the old city now form the Ayutthaya Historical Park, an archaeological site that contains palaces, Buddhist temples, monasteries and statues. The park is on an island between 3 rivers. •This place is about an hour drive north of Bangkok and can easily be a day trip.
Wat Arun
Wat Arun Ratchawararam Ratchawaramahawihan or Wat Arun is a Buddhist temple in Bangkok Yai district of Bangkok, Thailand, on the Thonburi west bank of the Chao Phraya River. This can be seen from Sala Rooftop Bar as well and you will see the temple at night during our rehearsal dinner.
