Guide Summary

Being that Bangkok is so large, and is in a not-so-familiar area of the world, it can be a bit overwhelming when trying to plan your trip. There are so many questions, and sometimes you just don’t know where to start. But don’t worry, I am here to help! Bangkok has it all- shop, eat, drink, watch the sunset, watch the sunrise, stay up all night, or relax while getting a massage. Not only will you have plenty to do, but you'll also leave Bangkok wanting to come back for more!

Here's what the guide includes

  • Reminders of things that need to be taken care of before you leave: vaccinations, passport, insurance, etc.
