How to get the best weekend experience in Bangkok

The thing about Bangkok is that it is a great place to spend a weekend as there is so much that you can do. Whether you are visiting alone, with your significant other or your family and friends, Bangkok has something for everyone. You can pick from a myriad of places to hang out and go shopping or you could take the kids out for the time of their life. There are plenty of luxury resorts and apartments where you can stay. Bangkok has it all. Here's how to spend a weekend there.

Where to Stay

Sukhumvit is a great place to look for luxury hotels. You will find that the street, in general, has a great ambience and atmosphere as well as restaurants and cafés where you could go out to if you don't want to stray too far from your hotel room. Thanks to its location, you can easily get to anywhere in Bangkok while basing yourself in Sukhumvit. If you are planning to spend an action-packed weekend in Bangkok, picking a comfortable place to stay the night is always advisable. Only then will you be able to really go out there and have fun.

Go Shopping

There are so many places in Bangkok where you can go shopping. From night markets where you can get all the latest knock-offs of luxury brands for a fraction of the original price to luxurious malls like Terminal 21 which is home to luxury brands and flagship stores that will provide you with all the latest trends and wardrobes of the rich and famous which can be yours. These malls come with arcades and food courts so you can use it as an escape from the humid weather in the streets. Terminal 21 has over 600 shops and a cinema too if you'd like to catch a movie while in Bangkok.

The Nightlife

Bangkok is known to have the best nightlife in the world. The red-light district in Bangkok preludes the city itself in reputation. Some of the best dance clubs, go-go bars and pubs can be found in this area. If you want to have a wild night out on the town, this is where you should be going. Visit sites like My Entertainment Hub to learn more about the places you can go to and the best entertainment options that nightlife in Bangkok has to offer. This is another reason why you should choose your accommodation carefully, because of how heartening it would be to find a good night's sleep after partying hard all night long?

Entertaining Children

If you are bringing children with you to Bangkok, you can make a great weekend of the family holiday. Bangkok is home to a plethora of entertainment facilities for children of all ages. There are places like Kidzoona and the Funarium Indoor Playground for small children. They can have hours of fun here and the parents can join in. You could even drive out into the suburbs of Bangkok with older children and spend some time exploring the villages and experience authentic Thai lifestyles. Take your kids shopping and into the night markets to potter around in the old stalls hunting for rare and wonderful things. They would find the whole experience quite fascinating. It would be a great way for the whole family to bond over things. As there are plenty of street food options, take your kids on a journey for their taste buds as well. All this can be enjoyed in Bangkok over the weekend. The trick is to pace yourself and have fun.
