Classic Bangkok Culture Loop

Transport Combo: MRT + River Boat + MuvMi
Start your day by taking the MRT to Sanam Chai and exploring some of Bangkok’s most iconic landmarks—the Grand Palace and Wat Pho. For a change of scenery, hop on a short ferry ride across the river to visit the stunning Wat Arun.
From Wat Pho, either walk or take a MuvMi e-tuk tuk to the vibrant Pak Khlong Talad Flower Market, where colourful blooms and local vibes await.
Next, take the MRT to Wat Mangkon to visit Mangkon Kamalawat Temple. Then, go on foot along Mangkon Road and wander around Yaowarat Road, Song Wat Road, and the Talad Noi area. You’ll stumble upon beautiful architecture, lively street art, delicious food stalls, cosy cafés, and hidden little shops.
🧭 Perfect for history lovers and first-time visitors.
Shop ‘Til You Drop
Highlights: Iconic Malls, Local Markets, Food
Transport Combo: BTS + MRT
For all-out mall shopping, head to BTS Siam and explore Siam Paragon, Siam Center, Siam Square, and MBK. Just a short walk from here is CentralWorld, another mega mall worth checking out.
Next, hop on the BTS to Chidlom for a more upscale shopping experience at Central Chidlom and Central Embassy—or simply walk there from CentralWorld.
Continue your shopping spree by heading to BTS Phrom Phong to dive into the high-end world of EmQuartier and EmSphere, two of Bangkok’s trendiest shopping complexes.
Gateway at BTS Ekamai is another place I like as it’s not too big and they sometimes have lovely market with live music at their outdoor space.
If markets are more your style, take the BTS to Mo Chit or the MRT to Chatuchak Park or Kamphaeng Phet to explore the iconic Chatuchak Weekend Market. While it’s open daily, weekends are when it’s at its most lively.
🧭 Great for shoppers, fashion lovers, and foodies.
Green Escape in the City
Highlights: Parks, Quiet Walks, Cycling
Transport Combo: MRT + BTS + Bike
Begin your escape at MRT Queen Sirikit National Convention Center and explore the tranquil Benchakitti Park, then stroll the scenic skywalk over to Lumpini Park—a perfect urban oasis.
For even more greenery, ride the MRT to Bang Wa, then hop on a short boat ride across the river to Bang Kachao, often called “Bangkok’s Green Lung.”
Here, rent a bicycle and explore the peaceful trails, weekend floating markets, lush gardens, and quiet temples—it feels like a whole different world just minutes from the city.
🧭 Perfect for nature lovers or anyone in need of a breather from Bangkok’s bustle.
Street Food by Night
Highlights: Street Food, Local Vibes, Vibrant Night Markets

Start your evening by taking the MRT to Sam Yan or the BTS to National Stadium, then walk to Banthat Thong Road—a local hotspot for street food. It’s less touristy and full of tasty eats, from grilled pork skewers to Thai-style crepes.
After filling up, head to MRT Wat Mangkon for a deep dive into Chinatown’s night scene. Wander along Yaowarat Road for more street food and don’t forget to explore the small side alleys where you’ll find quirky small bars, hidden gems, and some more delicious food waiting to be discovered.
