400+ PLACES WORTH KNOWING
Google Map: Bangkok Unlocked
Bangkok is huge. Thousands of restaurants, cafés, bars, markets and places to visit. The hard part is knowing which ones are worth it.
Bangkok Unlocked is my own map of 400+ of those places, built from actually living and travelling here.
Pick a neighbourhood. Pick a category. Find a place worth going to.
Chinatown and Yaowarat for neon and street food. Talat Noi and Charoenkrung for a quieter, older Bangkok. Bang Rak and Sathorn for good food and easy access to the river. Thong Lo and Ekkamai for a night out. Ari for something calmer. Khlong San for a different view of the city, across the river.
Need a break from the traffic and the heat? Bang Krachao, Lumphini Park, Benjakitti Park and the riverside at sunset are on there too.
There is no fixed route. Open the map, see what is nearby and decide where you want to go.
