Passage 5 (Items 95-100)

Whether you’re travelling to the islands or the mountains of Thailand, you’re likely to
spend at least one night in its capital city on the way. Bangkok might be noisy and the
traffic is very congested, but it’s also an exciting city with plenty of things to see and
do. Why not make it a longer stay?

Where to stay
5 Khao San Road was a famous travelers’ spot even before Leonardo di Caprio’s
character is the film The Beach stayed there. But it’s noisy, not very pretty, and not
very Thai. For something more authentic, Phra Kanong offers an alternative place to
stay, with its fantastic street markets where everyday Bangkok people eat, work, and
live. It’s not as convenient for the main tourist sites, but it has a Skytrain station so
10 you can be at the Grand Palace in 30 minutes.

Bangkok's traffic can be a nightmare. Sure, you can easily take a taxi – if you want to
spend hours stuck in traffic jams – but there are two much better ways to get around
the city. To explore the temples and historical sites, catch an express boat river taxi or
a longtail boat along the Chao Phraya river and the canals. For the modern part of the
15 city, the Skytrain is a fast, cheap way to travel from the river to the shopping malls
and nightlife of Sukhumvit, as well as the famous Chatuchak street market.

Where to eat
The simple answer is: everywhere! Thai street food is among the best in the world,
and for around $5 you can eat a filling and delicious meal. Some food stands have
little plastic seats where you can sit and eat while they cook the same dish over and
20 over, like fried chicken over rice or Pad Thai noodles. You can also head to
Chinatown – Yaowarat Street – and choose whatever looks most interesting from the
many excellent Chinese and Thai restaurants and food stands.

What to do
After you've seen the main sites like the Giant Buddha at the temple of Wat Pho and
the spectacular Grand Palace, and shopped at Chatuchak market, check out the snake
25 farm and watch the live snake show. You can even touch a snake yourself if you
want!
