The Bangkok Post, on the city’s few English language dailies, recently launched a page on their website called ‘Bangkok Zog Zag’, detailing a number of excellent walks to do in Bangkok.

Walking is not something people usually associate with Bangkok, and I myself will usually head for nearest air-conditioned taxi or subway train on most occasions. However you miss so much by doing so, and those who do walk are often rewarded with serendipitous discoveries (and some of the tastiest food!).

It’s an excellent web-page, with lots of useful info and maps. My personal choice would be the ethnically diverse Yaowarat walk, for the simple reason that I love gadgets and can think of nowhere quite like the hectic streets of Chinatown and around to find incredible items at very reasonable prices. Unlike other cities in the region, Bangkok is not blessed with many green or open spaces, and some of the most picturesque and rewarding walks are to be found in the most crowded areas. Take refuge at some of the more relaxing hotels in the city and spend your days exploring this wonderful metropolis. Contact us at Experience Travel for more ideas in and around Bangkok.
