The best place to enjoy Bangkok’s nightlife and get a good night sleep.

Try to go there after 5 pm as the market really comes alive by then.

This rooftop restaurant in Sairee offers a mix of Thai and Western fusion cuisine, making it a standout dining experience on the island.

A must-visit spot in Bangkok. It’s one of the largest markets in the world, with over 15,000 stalls sprawling across 26 sections. Whether you're into fashion, antiques, home decor, or unique souvenirs, you'll find it all here. The market is divided into sections, making it easier to navigate, but part of the fun is getting lost and discovering unexpected treasures. A pro tip I picked up: arrive early around 10 AM to beat the crowds and score some great bargains. Vendors often give better deals in the morning as they believe the first sale brings good luck.

The White Temple, or Wat Rong Khun, in Chiang Rai is a mesmerizing piece of contemporary architecture that stands out for its striking white color and intricate designs.

Visiting the Reclining Buddha at Wat Pho is an awe-inspiring experience. This massive statue, stretching 46 meters long and covered in gold leaf is so big it looks like the temple was built around it. I loved exploring the temple grounds, which are full of beautiful architecture and serene spaces. A particularly memorable moment was dropping coins into the 108 bronze bowls for good luck, a tradition that added a special touch to our visit. The temple is located near the Grand Palace, which means it doesn’t get as many tourists as other temples and is less crowded. I recommend going early to avoid the crowds and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere.

Grandma's Home Cooking School in Chiang Mai offers an authentic culinary experience that you won't forget. Located in a village in the Saraphi District, just 20 minutes from the city center, the school provides a perfect sneak peak of Thai culture and cuisine. The cooking school itself is situated on a beautiful organic farm. We toured the farm, tasting and smelling different herbs, and even met the well-cared-for chickens whose eggs we used in our recipes. Totally recommend it!

This market also known as Lard Yai, is held every Sunday evening on Thalang Road in Phuket Town. It’s a favorite among both locals and tourists for its variety of street food available, from grilled pork neck and deep-fried pork belly to Thai durian and steamed pork buns.
