Bangkok - a feast for the senses

-

Today’s post is by Road Affair - https://www.roadaffair.com - and is about the 10 best things that to do if you visit Bangkok - https://www.roadaffair.com/best-things-to-do-in-bangkok/.

“Thailand’s capital, Bangkok, is a feast for the senses. The smells, sounds and tastes you’ll come across will make you feel alive.”

1.   Eat some street food - there is certainly an abundance of that here!

2.   Go to the Cinema - this is quite a luxury and is not as expensive as some places. Please remember it may be cold and to stand up when the National Anthem is played at the beginning

3.   Ride on the BTS – this will take you all over Bangkok (literally) and you don’t need the traffic – you might want to invest in a ‘Rabbit Card’.

4.   Get a Thai Massage – stay away from Patpong for this, unless this is what you are looking for...


5.   Relax/Workout in Lumpini Park – wonderful early in the morning

6.   Have a Sunset Drink at a Sky Bar – there are a lot to choose from!


7.   Take a Boat Ride on the Chao Phraya River – choose one for just you or the river-bus – which can be very busy!


8.   Do something a little quirky – the Siriraj Medical Museum - https://goo.gl/maps/81UpgM7ATxT2 or the Airplane Graveyard - https://goo.gl/maps/vzdgkJDyJzF2.


9.   Visit the Chatuchak Weekend Market – a wonderful experience but take a big bag with you to carryall that shopping!

10. Go Temple Hopping – there are a plethora in Bangkok to choose from.

Stay with us at Cape House or Kantary House.

The Island of Artisans

Each week we post a link to an article in Bangkok 101 - and the article today is about ‘ The Island of Artisans ’ -  “Visiting the urban oasis of Koh Kret is like taking a step back in time”  – original words by Bruce Scott. A little north of Bangkok is the island of Koh Kret. Interestingly it w as not originally an isl and but in 1722 King Taisra dug a canal so that the boats would not have to follow the meandering Chao Phraya river. This canal gradually got bigger and became a river – Lat Klet. And visiting the island you may think that this was the last time that there was modernization here. After arriving on a small ferry from Pak Kret and the lovely Buddhist Temple of Wat Sanam Nuea it is simple to rent a bicycle and cycle around the island – here’s a route -  http://bit.ly/2wNx6Nr . And it is even better because cars are not allowed on the island, although the way through the mark ets can be a little narrow. ...

Time to care for your dog

A presentation was recently given by  The Thai Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals(TSPCA)  at the Lifestyle Hall, 2nd floor, Siam Paragon.  One focus of the event was to highlight the need for there to be no rabies in Thailand – #setzeronorabies – dog licensing, large-scale vaccination and education have been successful in combating and eliminating rabies in many developed countries.  Another focus was on the abandonment of dogs after they are no longer wanted in their home. A longer version can be seen here -  https://youtu.be/dOojwZAIupE “Love Don’t Leave’ is the tagline that the TSPCA has used to highlight this too common occurrence, similar to the  British RSPCA  slogan - "A dog is for life, not just for Christmas". At Cape and Kantary Hotels, we actively support  #SOSChildrensVillages and w e do not serve foie gras, birds’ nest orshark’s fin in our restaurants and we also stand firmly ag...
