What’s new in Bangkok? — Share your BKK travel tips for 2022

I’m in Bangkok for the next week!

It’s my first time back in over two years, so I’m curious about what’s new to check out 😀

Please share any tips (must be new, Eg < 6 months) of restaurants, rooftop bars, shops, sightseeing, etc here.

I’ll add to this thread if I come across anything new to share, too!

Now is a great time to visit in my opinion. If you are fully vaccinated you can visit without a PCR test or quarantine. 2019 saw 40 million visitors, today it is a small fraction of that number. I recently drove from Bangkok to Phuket over 3 weeks with a lot of stops. You can expect some good prices and a lot less tourists.

Hey Ian,

I saw that The Standard opened up a new property in Bangkok...which I think could be a good spot to add to your list!

Safe travels!

Hello Ian,
How was your trip? Any finds you wanna share?
