Amazing Thailand


Massage

Bangkok is internationally famous for its massage parlors. Traditional Thai massage can be found all over town, in hotels, at spas and stand-alone salons. Thai massage is recognized for its health benefits and relaxing effects, both on the body and on the mind. Thai massage, foot massage and oil massage are the most popular courses. A one hour Thai massage can cost as little as Bt 129 excluding tips.

Bangkok has a lot to offer after dark. Live music, bowling, ice skating, dinner shows, river cruise, Thai boxing, night shopping – a lot of things to do for all people and all budgets.

Bangkok has a reputation for wild and rowdy nightlife.
The truth is the city’s nightlife goes way beyond the over-worn naughty image from the Vietnam days. Fun would be a better description for it.
Bars and clubs catering especially to foreign guests are confined to the following hot zones – Patpong, Soi Nana, Soi Cowboy and Khaosarn Road

Patpong. The nightlife strip runs along two short lanes, Patpong 1 and 2 in Silom. Bars share street-space with restaurants, massage parlors, a couple of hotels while a night market selling clothes, fake watches and souvenirs runs down the center of Patpong 1 and out along Silom Road.

Nana. Three floors of nightlife activity around a central atrium. Located on Sukhumvit Soi 4, it is a cluster of go-go and beer bars in the three story building of Nana Entertainment Plaza. The first floor has a lot of busy and exciting bars, The second floor is occupied by smaller bars, often frequented by old hands. The third floor has a few, really big bars known for their girlie shows.

Soi Cowboy. Just a few meters from the Asoke BTS Station, Soi Cowboy is a cluster of go-go bars and beer joints, Prices here are cheaper than those in other red light zones in the capital. Beer costs 55 to 85 baht, perhaps a little less during happy hour and little more at some of the more popular spots, and the obligatory (soft) drinks for the girls cost a little more.

Tuk-Tuk

A taxi style mode of transport that;s unique to Thailand. The three wheeled, open air tuk tuk can take you almost anywhere in Bangkok. Rate is usually negotiable, from Bt20 for a very short distance to Bt300 for a father destination.

Floating Market at Damnoen Saduak




Thailand is famous for its floating markets and some of the best are found in the outskirts of Bangkok. One is Damnoen Saduak in Ratchaburi, In the narrow canals of Damnoen Saduak, women crowd the waterway network to sell goods to riverbank residents.
