roadtosteemfest | Things I don't want to miss in Thailand :)
Thailand is one of the best destination for eating, playing and relaxing on earth. There are many things to see, do, so much good foods, and most of all, the prices are very cheap so it's like heaven for travelers!! I am not a Thailand expert but I have been visiting this amazing country steadily in recent few years. So I'll introduce you Thailand newbies ;)
I absolutely love China town in Bangkok. For a people who loves Thai food like me, everywhere you go is food heaven in Bangkok but China town especially has THE BEST street food restaurants in this city. I highly recommend T&K Seafood restaurant in China town. You must try Boo Paht Pong curry(crab curry), and grilled prawn at this restaurant. It's really popular restaurant so there's always line up. But it's worth to wait for a half an hour to even one hour. more pictures
There is the famous yaowarat toast right across from T&K so you can have dessert there as well. I recommend you to have the original one and chocolate one. You gotta have it when it's still warm so please eat it on the street like other people does!!
If you're shopping lover I recommend you to go to chatuchak weekend market. It's the biggest local market in Bangkok, and they only open during the weekend. They literally have everything. You can buy good quality of souvenir with affordable price. It's a huge market so it's going to take the whole day to look around the market. Steemfest city tour day is on the weekend so it's a good chance to experience the biggest market in Bangkok.
There is tons of massage shops in Bangkok. At most of local massage shops on the street you can get 1 hour body massage within $10, food massage $5. So if you got tired from Steemfest even and the hot weather you can just get a massage whenever you want to get.
If you have extra time to explore Thailand, I recommend you to go to Chang Mai and Krabi. Both of cities are absolutely beautiful. Chang-mai has charming northern Thai food and lots of night market, cute little boutique hotels, high quality spa etc. If you are looking for beaches Krabi is going to be the perfect destination. You can take a day trip to Hong island, Phi Phi island etc. You're gonna feel like you're in heaven. I can't describe more that.
Are you guys getting excited to go to Bangkok?! I'm super excited to meet my Steemit friends in Asia for the first time! XOXO
