The Bangkok City Guides answer the questions every first-timer brings: which Chinatown stalls deserve your evening, whether the Michelin queues are worth it, when to reach the big temples before the heat and where the night carries on after the rooftops. Every place gets a short, honest note on why to go, what to order or look for and one practical tip, and the guides open in your browser as soon as you pay.

The six Bangkok guides
Food guide
24 places
Yaowarat after dark, a straight verdict on the Michelin names, Isan grills and boat noodles, the big markets and sweets and coffee worth a detour.
Things to do guide
23 places
Palaces and temples with the dress code sorted, four museums for a cool hour, the river and Thonburi by boat, and parks, markets and viewpoints.
Family guide
22 places
The big attractions judged honestly, shady parks and playgrounds, museums children enjoy, malls for the hottest hours and food small eaters accept.
Nightlife guide
24 places
Rooftops rated on view and price, cocktail bars in Thonglor and Chinatown, live jazz and Thai folk, night markets and food after midnight.
Day trips guide
22 places
Ayutthaya and Lopburi by train, which floating market to choose, the railway market, Kanchanaburi’s war history and green corners close to the city.
Budget guide
23 places
Free temples and parks, street food that costs next to nothing, river and canal boats for small change and the tickets that are worth paying for.

Three places from the guides
Khao Gaeng Jek Pui (Je Chie)
25 Thanon Mangkon, Chinatown
A curry-rice stall on the pavement with red plastic stools: point at two or three pots, such as green curry or Penang pork, and they land on a plate of rice. Bangkok families come here for dinner, so go in the evening. From the food guide.
Wat Saket (Golden Mount)
344 Thanon Chakkraphatdi Phong, Old Town
A temple on a hill reached by 344 shaded steps, with a full circle of views over the old town and the skyline beyond. The climb is gentle, so take your time. From the things to do guide.
Maeklong Railway Market
Mae Klong, Samut Songkhram
A fresh market laid right across the tracks: several times a day the stallholders fold back their awnings and a real passenger train edges past the vegetables. Check the timetable before you set off. From the day trips guide.
Plan your Bangkok days
Day one: start early at the temples of Rattanakosin with the things to do guide, ride the river boat over to Thonburi and finish with dinner in Yaowarat from the food guide. Day two: take the train to Ayutthaya with the day trips guide, then spend the evening in a Thonglor cocktail bar or at a live jazz set. For a rainy or slow day, mix the family and budget guides: a free art centre, an air-conditioned museum, a mall food hall and a bowl of noodles that costs almost nothing.
