Adive 3 days in Bangkok
Discussion
Hi all,
Looks like I am off to Bangkok next week and 3 full days free, any recommendations on what to do and see, i've not been for about 15 years and the last time we spent most of our time stuck in traffic. Any recommendations on decent food places and bars to see the sunsets?
I'll probably be on my own for days 1 and 2, staying in the Sukhumvit area if that helps.
thanks

What can qualify as the Sukhumvit area is vast, similar to being told downtown or central so its worth checking the address to see what you have within walking distance.
you are If your near the Asok/Asoke area then Terminal 21 has a large food court on the top floor, plenty of good choice for about £1 for a small meal if you want to sample lots of different dishes. We used it to load up with a massive breakfast/lunch before heading out for the day.
Phrom Phong is the area for upscale dining and drinking options, plenty of choice within walking distance from the BTS station. We saw everything from Tibetan to Mexican but Korean BBQ and Japanese izakayas seemed very popular.
Octave and Tichuca are popular rooftops bars for sunset, to be honest you are spoilt for choice in Thong Lor, Phrom Phong and Asok for rooftop bars. Bangkok must be one of the best cities in the world for rooftop bars and a good chunk of them are in the general Sukhumvit area.
For sightseeing honestly nothing, it's a vast modern area filled with skyscrapers, hotels, condos, malls etc. Use the MRT or BTS to get to the historic areas like Chinatown, Song Wat Rd, Talat Noi. Grand Palace, reclining buddha and Wat Arun are all walking distance from Sanam Chai MRT station.
Be sure to visit Chinatown in the evening and hungry, cannabis is now legal if that's your thing (within your home or specific smoking bars etc)
