Things to do in Bangkok

[geoff]

You've got to be joking.!!!!!!!!!!

[Fabian]

I am not joking.

Is there a library or something?

[Texpat]

Exploring MBK could kill a day.

Just don't buy anything.

[Travelmate]

Spend the day in Chinatown. Then come back and tell us all about it.

[Fabian]

MBK is one place I know too well. Future Park would be closer to home anyway. Problem is I hate shopping or strolling around shopping malls.

Museums would be nice though. Any interesting suggestions beside the navy museum?

[Fabian]

Spend the day in Chinatown. Then come back and tell us all about it.

I could do a picture thread about that. That's one afternoon.

I just got an idea, what about thread missions? So now we have china town, any other areas in or around Bangkok you folks would like to have a thread about?

Siam Center walking street between 3pm and 4pm

Museums would be nice though.

The Air Force has a museum at Don Muang.

Get on a water taxi anywhere with your camera. You will get some great pics from a whole different perspective of the city.

Eden Club....If you ask the ladies to lay out all their toys you might be able to call it a trip to the sex toy museum.

I'm always up for a beer if you fancy it. I live between Lam Luk Ka and Saphan Mai.
I prefer soi 7/1.
PM me if you are interested.

Why not take a cruise along the Chao Phraya river, relaxing way to see some of the sights.

The Chao Phraya River boats – taking a river cruise in Bangkok


Wish I could do it but am never in Bangkok long enough

I have done that last year and it was nice so maybe I will spend more time cruising on the river this time. The 100 baht day pass sounds like a good idea.

[Timber]

Timber, you mean in the afternoon?

Oops. No, don't think that would be very conducive to my evening work hours. But if you get a free night you should swing by and have a few.

[Fabian]

Of course we can do that and I would like to.

Doesn't solve my problem with free afternoons.
What about gyms, anyone can recommend a place I can get a short time membership preferably on a daily basis? The gym in the missus' moo ban is really shitty.

A few hours in the Siam Society's reference library can be quite engrossing if you like delving into a country's bibliography and, as serendipity would have it, the place is near to Soi Cowboy where one could practise a more contrasting delving should the fancy take you.
