Thanon Khao San
6 Recommendations: 6 Favorable,
Nice and cozy place to sit down during daytime to avoid the heat on the street. Nice bakery and coffee as all the Starbucks, but with the nostalgic ambiance. The house is 100 years old, colonial style where you can sit all day and enjoy dinner at night. Recommended for lone tourists.

Number 1 Bistro and Café
5 Recommendations: 5 Favorable,
Number1 bistro and cafe is one of the best places in chiang mai. The Belgian style food is super and they have the biggest range of beers in the city ! A new beergarden will open very soon,so you can sit and relax in a garden of peace inside the old city. I recommend this bar/pub/cafe to everyone who visit chiang mai !

The Emerald Buddha Temple
5 Recommendations: 5 Favorable,
If you come to Bangkok without visiting the Emerald Buddha Temple, you haven't really seen Bangkok! This is the solid proof of how skilled Thai craftsmanship had been developed. Aesthetic can not be measured in monetary value. It can be measured by each individual who can sense it and be overwhelmed by its beauty. Every day during the week is quite convenience to commute to the temple, but weekend could be quite painful. Although in some months the heat is so unbearable, polite and covered dress are required for both men and women if you want to be allowed inside the temple, meaning that no shorts, no deep v-neck, no slippers, no beachwear of all kinds etc...

Wat Arun, Bangkok Yai, Bangkok
4 Recommendations: 4 Favorable,
This Wat or Buddhist temple is an architectural representation of Mount Meru, the center of the world in Buddhist cosmology. In the mythology of Tibetan Buddhism, Mount Meru is a place that simultaneously represents the center of the universe and the single-pointedness of mind sought by adepts. Thousands of miles in height, Meru is located somewhere beyond the physical plane of reality, in a realm of perfection and transcendence. The four-corner prang of Wat Arun, which house images of the guardian gods of the four directions, reinforces this mystical symbolism. The long, elongated, Khmer-style Prang or tower, and four minor towers symbolize the terrestrial representation of the thirty-three heavens. It is possible to walk a limited way up the very steep stairs of the main prang, which gives a reasonable view of the Chao Phraya river. These steep steps lead to the two terraces that form the base of the Prang. The different layers, or heavens, are supported by Kinnaree or half-humans, and frightening Yaksas, or demon guards. Pavilions on the first platform contain priceless statues of the Buddha at the most important stages of his life. On the second terrace four statues of the Hindu god Indra or Erawan, his thirty-three headed elephant, stand guard. The main Buddha image inside the Bot is believed to have been designed by King Rama II himself, but the murals date from the reign of King Rama V.

MBK Center
4 Recommendations: 4 Favorable,
MBK Center Bangkok Metropolis Thailand where is the most convenience cause you can transfer to downtown like Siam square and local area too by BTS ,Bus,Taxi. Signature is the greatest departmentstore and cheaper price that you can browse before buy them. Weakness point is traffic jam but you can change to BTS to resolve this problem. Let's go to shopping at MBK.

4 Recommendations: 4 Favorable,
If you come to Bangkok and you did not visit the famous weekend market, you have to come back again. It is the curse... Everything you want and don't want you can find them all here :-) This is the place where all locals shop for clothes, furniture, gifts..and everything else. Happy shopping! Please don't try visiting during noon time if you are not familiar with Bangkok heat.

Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok
3 Recommendations: 3 Favorable,
Fabulous food and great hospitality has been recognized for more than 70 years by celebrities and visitors who experience their service. Sunday brunch at Lord Jim with the Chao Praya River View is a must. For those who can afford their executive suites--please do-- so that you can witness why the hotel is voted the best in the world many times by international travellers.
