digibum 2,232 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Even before Covid, I was starting to feel a little “been there, done that”’with most of Bangkok, which, to me, seems crazy given the size and diversity of the city. Sure, new restaurants and bars pop up (and disappear) all the time, but what’s your sort of must-see/do kind of stuff in Bangkok? The kind of stuff that’s not in Lonely Planet or on some “The Top 10 Things To Do in Bangkok”’websites? Like, I remember the first time I stumbled into Brown Sugar (across from Lumpini Park) and being blown away by a good jazz bar in Bangkok. Tired of taking out of town guests to do the usual Grand Palace, Wat Pho, KSR, Nana, Cowboy tours of the city. What kinds of places would you take someone that thinks they know Bangkok that would blow their mind? Link to post Share on other sites

The world is your lobster at the moment, there are some very nice hotels going very cheaply, e.g. my mate has been staying at the Avani on Sukhumvit (opposite On Nut BTS station), it's a lovely hotel, costs around 1,200 THB per night.

xylophone 11,752 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 3 hours ago, Mike Teavee said: The world is your lobster at the moment LOL...that takes me back a bit! In the mid-80s I attended a TQM meeting in Sydney with Rank Xerox and a new GM had just been appointed and he was giving a sort of introduction/peptalk to the folk in the company. He was from Spain as I recall, and when he spoke he had quite a Spanish lilt, understandable but one had to listen, and when he was talking about working hard and putting right any defects that were found in the manufacturing, he said that if you do that, the company would go places and "the world would be your lobster", meaning of course the world would be your oyster, and it got quite a few chuckles from those who knew the original saying. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
