Joy's Bangkok Travel Notes

Bangkok is one of the most popular holiday destination among my friends, and definitely one of my "to-visit" places. And why not? It's near (to SIngapore), it's cheap (with all those great Bangkok deals). But best of all, it's where you shop for bags, clothes and shoes at steal prices. And after that, indulge in a Thai massage, before you tuck into some spicy Thai food.

Charoenkrung Road, Sri Phraya

This is a traditional house that was built before World War II. Now it's a private museum that houses antiques, traditional household utensils and other items of historical significance. A good tip would be to contact the museum and request for a guided tour. And would you believe it? Admission is free.

The Siam Society

This is a good place to find out about the history of Thailand, with their extensive reference library and regular speakers talking about a range of topics. The Society also regularly organises trips to historic site and cities around the region.

Bangkok Sightseeing City Tram
