Winter break is in less than 2 weeks away, and if you’re planning on spending it all, a
week, or even a day in Bangkok, here is a list of some cool places to visit with your
friends and family.
ARTBOX
Artbox is an exhibition market, that changes location every month, and opens on
Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 3pm-12am. The location for this month of
December is “The EmDistrict” (located across from EmQuartier, and next to Emporium).
The shops range from clothes to jewelry to decor, with almost half of the market
dedicated to food, including colorful drinks, burger and hotdog trucks, pizza stands,
seafood, and so much more.
CHATUCHAK WEEKEND MARKET
Chatuchak Weekend Market is one of the biggest markets in the world, covering a total
area of 27 acres divided into 27 individual sections. The different sections are separated
into categories including flowers, fruit, street food stands, clothing, accessories, kitchen
ware, and home decor. Open from 10:00-17:00 pm every weekend, the Chatuchak
Weekend Market is the perfect place to get lost in piles of t-shirts and room decor.
ESCAPE HUNT
Known as the ultimate live escape game in Bangkok, Escape Hunt is the perfect way to
turn a boring afternoon into an exciting one. At arrival, customers are told to choose a
hunt experience, in which they must complete a series of games to solve a mystery. Not
only that, the location also provides a lounge area, where customers are welcome to
munch on snacks and dress up to take photos.
GRAM
This Brooklyn inspired coffee shop, located in a courtyard of a small complex behind Soi
49 (and now Emquartier as well) is the perfect brunch location for you and your friends
on a Saturday morning. The environment is open and laid back, and the menu ranges
from pancakes to charcoal burgers, and of course, coffee.
TRIBECA
Another elegantly decorated brunch location, Tribeca is known for their quieter
environment, with cheaper (but still delicious) options, including crab cake benedict and
chocolate cake. Head on over for a light brunch or lunch with your friends and family
before a big day of shopping or exploring the city.
