With every foray into this Thai city, we fall just a little bit harder for its perfect balance of culture and city chaos. If you&#8217;re planning a trip down, our list of the best things to do in Bangkok includes food hotspots, where to explore, shop and stay.<\/p>\n<p>A note before you book those tickets: Bangkok has two airports, Suvarnabuhmi and Don Mueang. If you\u2019re flying into the latter on a Friday, it\u2019s best to take an early flight from Singapore. We\u2019ve heard multiple horror stories of hours-long immigration queues. But if you&#8217;re packing light, Suvarnabhumi is where you want to land. From there, you can take the Airport Rail Link. It\u2019s a 15-minute, non-stop express service which will conveniently and speedily take you to the city terminal.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_72 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Our Bangkok Guide<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bangkok\/things-to-do-in-bangkok\/#Things_to_do_in_Bangkok_Eat_and_explore\" title=\"Things to do in Bangkok: Eat and explore\">Things to do in Bangkok: Eat and explore<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bangkok\/things-to-do-in-bangkok\/#Things_to_do_in_Bangkok_Shop_and_stay\" title=\"Things to do in Bangkok: Shop and stay\">Things to do in Bangkok: Shop and stay<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Things_to_do_in_Bangkok_Eat_and_explore\"><\/span>Things to do in Bangkok: Eat and explore<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3>1.
