Bangana: Bangkok's fastest growing commercial district lies in the eastern part of the city, just 20 minutes via the overhead Sky train monorail to Bangkok centre, the river and historical sights. If you prefer to avoid central Bangkok, Bangna offers an excellent alternative. Shopping options include the huge Seacon Square, one of Southeast Asia's largest shopping and recreational malls which has just about everything. In addition to more than 400 retail shops, there are multiplex cinemas, a bowling complex, a huge 2,500-seat food centre, the world's largest indoor entertainment park, mini golf and a roller blade rink with speed tracks - just to name a few! For more outdoor pursuits, Bangna is close to several golf courses and driving ranges where temporary membership is available. Bangna provides an easy route to the Eastern Seaboard Industrial Estates and the eastern part of Thailand to places like Pattaya. Bangkok Airport is 40 minutes. Bangna is also home to the huge and BITEC International Trade & Exhibition Centre.


Ratchadapisek: North of the metropolitan area, Ratchadapisek incorporates The Thailand Cultural Centre, Ramkhamhaeng University and a wide selection of the entertainment industry. Cabaret, massage parlours, and nightclubs pop up in clusters together with department stores and very good value first class hotels. Easy access to the rest of the city by road. No Sky train but a ready supply of inexpensive taxis available at any time. Ratchadapisek also offers quick access to the airport.

China Town: Settled in the 1780's by Chinese merchants, Chinatown retains a large ethnic Chinese community who still continue their own traditions and religious ceremonies. Famous for its markets and numerous gold shops, the area caters largely to the local population and contains a number of busy, almost frenetic market areas concentrated around a network of roads, alleys and small streets. Local favourites include Nakom Kasem market and Sampeng Lane, a long, narrow pedestrian lane crammed with masses of goods from hair slides (sold by the dozen) to kitchen utensils. The area around Yaowarat road, Chinatown's main street, is fascinating for its Chinese pharmacies and unbelievable concentration of gold shops. Bordering Chinatown is Paruhat Cloth Market with a huge selection of batiks, sarongs and general fabric. A largely ethnic Indian area, Paruhat has some excellent local Indian restaurants and a large shopping mall selling handicrafts.

Khao San: Formerly a quiet local area with just a few budget guest houses, the Banglamphu area and famous Khao San Road have become an obligatory stop on the twenty-something travel trail, with cheap guest houses, street cafes, music shops, boutiques and bars. Over the last few years the area has become a tourist attraction in its own right given impetus by the novel “The Beach” which features Khao San Road. It's untypical of Bangkok and yet the back streets nearby retain some of their old fashioned Thai charm. Accommodation used to be very basic but many guest houses are now upgrading with air-conditioning, pools and better quality rooms catering to a wider family market, at very reasonable rates. An extensive market, good cheap restaurants and the international mix of travellers and locals from different backgrounds make it an interesting place to visit or stay.

Airport Area: If you're in transit, or don't want to go into the city centre, Lardprao, the area around Bangkok International Airport is an ideal base. Staying here has the advantage of cutting down travelling time to the airport and saving on check in time. There are also good shopping facilities including Central Department Store and Lardprao Shopping Centre with all the usual modern department store goods, cinemas, restaurants and good access to the airport for those last minute buys. If you're here at the weekend, the famous Chatuchak weekend market with over 15,000 stalls selling everything from jeans to ceramics, plants and animals is also within easy reach.


Old City: One of Bangkok's colorful nightlife areas, especially along New Petchburi road which stretches several kilometers along the northern part of the city from Pratunam towards the eastern suburbs. Massage parlours, hostess bars, discos, clubs, restaurants and nightclubs pop up along new Petchburi and in the streets running between New Petchburi Road and Sukhumvit. Don't get the impression its a congested area, it isn't, and many of the nightlife areas appear in small pockets with some of the new and more hip venues making an appearance around Thonglor, at the eastern end of New Petchburi Rd. The Sky train does not run along New Petchburi road or its sister road, Petchburi running to the west, but there are plenty of taxis with an encyclopedic knowledge of the streets, ready to whisk you from one place to another.

Ploenchit - Rachaprasong: If you're shopping for the best, head for the area around Ploenchit Rd and Chidlom. Several high quality shopping centres like the Peninsula Plaza, the Amarin and the newly reburbished Gaysorn Plaza (white marble and gleaming chrome) Lots of up market labels and exclusive designer brands with yet more high-end shopping at the Paragon Centre - coming soon. Hotels like Le Meridien President, the Regent Bangkok, and the Grand Hyatt Erawan complete the picture. Ploenchit is also the "Embassy district" with many major embassies located close by.

Pratunam: Well known for its street markets, bazaar and local vendors. Bargain prices for T shirts, jeans, shoes, calculators, watches, jewelry and souvenirs. Close by is the World Trade centre which also contains cinemas and an ice skating rink. The area has good first class hotels, so if you want a central location with good accommodation, shopping and transport, this is it!

Riverside: One of the most fascinating areas of Bangkok, the riverside reflects a constantly changing scene with taxi boats gently transporting passengers, rice barges being towed laden with goods and local trading boats, against a backdrop of glittering temples and modern warehouses. The riverside area also contains some of Bangkok's most prestigious hotels, from The Oriental - consistently voted "Best Hotel in the World" to the Shangri-La, and the Sheraton. Good value first class hotels like the Menam, established before the real estate boom are also located this area. Close by is Sanam Luang - the political capital of Bangkok which has many historic landmarks and buildings, including the Grand Palace. The area remains relatively free of modern architecture and gives a better feel for "old Bangkok."

Sathorn: High rise buildings, gleaming corporate head offices. These towers of power make up the ultra modern skyline around Sathorn Road, Bangkok's 21st century business district. Stretching from Lumpini Park south to the river, Sathorn contains some of the smartest of Bangkok's chic new hotels like the Metropolitan, the Sukhothai and the Westin Banyan Tree. The area has also has some excellent restaurants serving both a business and embassy clientele. Bangkok's Sky train (overhead rail system) runs along the southern part of Sathorn terminating at the riverfront. Here you can catch a boat to the historical sights like the Grand Palace or to the riverside hotels like the Oriental, Peninsula or Shangri-La. The northern part of Sathorn is well served by taxis. At the other end, is Lumpini Park, Bangkok's largest green area and a great place for people watching.

Siam: Great locations for shopping and entertainment. Siam has several large air-conditioned shopping centres linked together which includes Siam Centre, Siam Discovery and MBK. In addition to the designer names, fashion boutiques and cosmopolitan food outlets, the area offers restaurants cinemas, bars and cafes. Siam is also on the Bangkok Sky-train (the very efficient brand new overhead rail system) system offering good access to many of Bangkok's attractions.

Silom: Silom, running parallel with Sathorn Road represents the heart of the older central business district, lined with the head offices of financial institutions, local banks, law firms and multinational corporations. Surprisingly there are also a number of art and antique shops, and some good local bars and restaurants. During the evening, Silom puts on a different face when local street markets selling clothes, watches, and souvenirs set up along the roadside. Patpong, better known for its raunchy nightlife also has a few dance clubs and party places among the saucy shows, along with Japanese hostess and karaoke bars around Thaniya. Some of Bangkok's old established hotels are located along both Silom and Surawong road. The Skytrain runs along part of Silom providing good access both to the river and the central shopping area.

Petchburi: One of Bangkok's colourful nightlife areas, especially along New Petchburi road which stretches several kilometres along the northern part of the city from Pratunam towards the eastern suburbs. Massage parlours, hostess bars, discos, clubs, restaurants and nightclubs pop up along new Petchburi and in the streets running between New Petchburi Road and Sukhumvit. Don't get the impression its a congested area, it isn't, and many of the nightlife areas appear in small pockets with some of the new and more hip venues making an appearance around Thonglor, at the eastern end of New Petchburi Rd. The Skytrain does not run along New Petchburi road or its sister road, Petchburi running to the west, but there are plenty of taxis with an encyclopedic knowledge of the streets, ready to whisk you from one place to another.

Sukhumvit: Sukhumvit represents and embodies modern Bangkok.
