Before you book anything

Your neighborhood sets the tone.

Pick the part of Bangkok that suits your week. Then put the room, food and nights out into one honest number.

Right in the nightlife

Nana

Choose for the week you want. Check the specific room, location and hotel policies before you book.

03 / Get the money right

“It’s cheap here”
isn’t a budget.

Rooms, rides, dinners, nights out. Put your version of the week together before the baht starts feeling like arcade tokens.

04 / From the field

A few things I learned.

All field notes
A Bangkok street near Phrom Phong
STAY / PERSONAL EXPERIENCE

My Bangkok Airbnb mistake.

The room is only one part of what you’re booking.

MONEY / WORKED EXAMPLE

What a nightlife week really costs.

Make room for the whole week, not just the hotel.

GETTING AROUND / PRACTICAL GUIDE

Bolt or Grab? Check both.

The quote, the pickup and the ride you actually need.

FOOD / PRACTICAL GUIDE

Eating well, with a little timing.

Restaurant discounts are only useful if the details work.

Why this exists

“People say New York is the city that never sleeps. I say they haven’t been to Bangkok yet.”

I came here, made mistakes, overpaid for rooms and learned the neighborhoods. This is the guide I wanted at the beginning.
