Bangkok stories is a collection of 65 carefully selected spots, which we describe in the form of short stories. Through observation, interviewing the locals and a deep insight research we’re trying to get a grip of the city’s customs and culture.

In February 2023 we came to Bangkok. We rented a flat, then a bike and that’s how we turned over a new leaf of living in the best city of the world. We’ve been here many times yet never before did we intend to stay for several months.

Here you will find: an apartment to rent in an old Chinese house, a café that serves the best iced coffee with tangerine juice, a Chinese tea shop that has been in the family for four generations, street soups with homemade noodles, evening stalls serving great prawns, excellent restaurants run by young chefs. We describe unusual museums, hidden bookshops, modern libraries and co-working spaces. We visit temples, parks, cemeteries and all sort of markets, flower, food and the little neighborhood ones. We will tell you where to go to listen to live music and where to dance to techno. We’ll advise where to take a boat and where to ride a bike. And, of course, where to get the best mango sticky rice in town. You will also find out if Pad Thai is a traditional dish in Thailand? How is it that in a country where it is illegal to gamble, everyone plays in the government lottery? Has the Minister of Health made marijuana legal? And why is there a soup in a plastic bag on display in a museum? There are interviews too. We talk to the chef of our favorite restaurant that specializes in a new take on traditional food, the owner of a record shop and even the director of a traditional Thai massage school.
