Neighborhoods

Favourite areas

Pathum Wan: Shopping centers. It is my personal centre of the city. It has the highest concentration of mall and space for events, conferences. Silom and Sukhumvit or green line that are well connect with other lines.
Wang Mai: Street Food, Chulalongkorn University Centenary Park, Backpacker Hostels
Chom Phon and Chatuchak: Close to Bus Station, Big Park, Weekend market, Malls, Street food/Restaurants, Hotels

Others

Sukhumvit road in Khlong Toei: Night life and tourists.
Silom: Financial district, Lumpini Park.
Chinatown: Food area. Personally I think it is over promoted.
Riverside: Good View. There is a market and attractions. Attractions are Tourist trap but it worth a visit for sight-seeing.
Khao San: Promoted as for cheap, Backpacker friendly. Never been there.

Learning from travelling Don’t have too many things planned What you think how a country is from what you see from internet is different from what you are going to experience once you arrived
