Recommended Posts

Ok next trip I'm taking a friend of mine , Gay Filipino guy 32yo

We are both travelling to Bangkok from Australia 

He has never been before 

Now because of work commitments he will only stay a week in Bangkok 

I'm not a Bangkok guy so don't know it as much as Pattaya 

So in that week he has with me , other than gay bars ,what other places can I take him

We are both interested in gyms so is there any outdoor gyms ?

Parks ,I guess Lumpini park Benjamin park

He is into going to  Cafes , restaurants ,small bars etc 

Maybe a river cruise , the big markets .

Probably won't be interested in museums like I am ,

After a week it will probably get boring for him I guess tagging along with a guy double his age 

Maybe show him Pattaya for 3 days or so out of that 7

Some places and things I like

  • Grand Palace (dress codes and beware scammers trying to say its closed, ignore them and go to the entrance)
  • Chao Phraya Princess River Cruise dinner, I enjoyed having this dinner cruise only goes for a couple of hours but is enjoyable

  • Asiatique, a bit touristy but some nice restaurants and an easy free commute on the ferry

  • Lumphini, I imagine the outdoors gym is still going

  • I do like the National Museum. I thought I would just throw that one in even though he may not be interested but still worth a look

  • Will second Chatuchak weekend market but my advice is to go early

  • A restaurant I really like is The Mango Tree on Soi Tarntawan (just around the corner from Tarntawan Hotel)

The gym in Lumphini Park is definitely still there. For a very small fee you can have a workout and also buy bottles of water. This gym has a bench press with tyres on each side of the bar, which is quite a novelty. There was another gym too, but not as good. I don't know if that one is still there.

Many hotels, such as Quarter Silom and Quarter Saladaeng have adequate gyms.

Perhaps get him involved and let him to find what he will be interested in seeing in Bangkok.
