Hi Breno,
if I had to pick one place for shopping in Bangkok, it’d probably be Chatuchak Weekend Market. There’s just nothing you can’t buy there and as soon as you get the hang on haggling, you can get most stuff for a really great price. There’s also great food, drinks and massages – plus Platinum Fashion Mall right next door, where you can also strike some bargains.
As for the best shopping malls in Bangkok, i’d definitely say MBK Center and Terminal 21.
Maybe this article might help as well: https://www.bangkokinsiders.com/the-10-best-shopping-malls-in-bangkok/
Have fun shopping in Bangkok!

Hey there, it really depends on what you’re interested in.
There’s definitely some cool concerts coming up: Elijah Woods (May 17th, Lido Connect), Boys like Girls (April 24th, Lido Connect), Arch Enemy (May 21st) or The Chainsmokers (April 14th, Live Park).
Also the Water Festival: Songkran Festival 2024 in Bangkok will be different from previous years, as it will be celebrated from 1 to 21 April 2024. Prepare to get soaking wet!
“Maha Songkran World Water Festival 2024” will take place from 11-15 April in Bangkok, along the Ratchadamnoen Klang Avenue and at Sanam Luang.
The event is supposed to illustrate the Thai culture and tradition of Thai with pretty cool Songkran parades and celebrations.Oh and if that’s something you’re interested in: I’m definitely joining the AI Asia Expo 2024 on 4th and 5th of April.

First off, welcome to the club of the perpetually perspiring! 😂 Bangkok’s heat can definitely catch you off guard, but fear not, for you have not been left to sizzle in vain. Here are a few life-saving tips from someone who’s survived the urban sauna:
1. Embrace the Mall Life: Bangkok’s malls aren’t just for shopping; they’re sanctuaries of sweet, sweet air conditioning. Siam Paragon and Terminal 21 aren’t just cool for their stores – they’re literally cool.
2. Water Fight: Keep hydrating, and don’t forget to replenish those electrolytes. Coconut water is your best friend here. Street vendors sell it fresh, and it’s nature’s Gatorade.
3. Escape to an Indoor Oasis: Check out some of Bangkok’s amazing indoor attractions like Sea Life Bangkok Ocean World or the Art in Paradise museum. Art, entertainment, and A/C – what’s not to love?
4. River Breezes: Take a longtail boat tour on the Chao Phraya River. It’s usually cooler on the water, and you get to see the city from a fresh perspective.
5. After Dark Explorations: Bangkok transforms at night. The temperatures drop (a bit), and exploring becomes a whole lot more manageable. Plus, the city lights are something else!
6. Traditional Thai Massage: When it’s just too hot to trot, why not relax and cool down with a traditional Thai massage in an air-conditioned spa?
About the mythical non-melting ice cream – still on the lookout for that one, but will keep you posted if I find it. 😜 Until then, grab a mango sticky rice ice cream. It’s the next best thing.
Hang in there, and soon you’ll find your own rhythm to beat the heat. Happy exploring!
