Yaowarat, Chinatown
must-seeFreeA kilometre of neon signs and street food, from nightfall onwards.
The street stalls close on Mondays — don't come that evening. Pick the counters with a queue of Thais outside, and pay cash in small notes: almost none take cards, and the ATMs are back on Charoen Krung, one street behind.

HoursMarché principal : samedi et dimanche, de 9 h à 18 h.

View detailsICONSIAM
FreeA riverside mall, with a recreated floating market on the ground floor.

free entry, you pay for what you buy
View detailsLumphini Park
FreeFifty-eight hectares among the towers, with monitor lizards crossing the paths.
Six in the morning is the only hour that counts: group tai chi, runners, and the mass aerobics class over the loudspeakers — all of it over by eight. The monitor lizards come out along the lake at the same time, while it is still cool.
public park, free access

View detailsJournée en coworking à Ari
Price unconfirmedLe quartier le plus vivable pour travailler à Bangkok : cafés calmes, métro aérien, loyers plus doux qu'à Thonglor.
Compare the real cost: a day in a café is three drinks and a seat taken back at lunchtime; a coworking space is a day rate with booths for calls. Choose on how many calls you have to take, not on the price.
a café charges for what you drink, a coworking space by the day or the month. There is no rate common to the district: it is posted at each address.
