In an old, charming building is this little bookshop housing some of our favourite travel-related books. See the world through the wanderlust eyes of the owners.
The main shop is a takeout-only affair, but you'll find a small fan-cooled dining room just across the street. If you haven't tried mango sticky rice, have you actually been to Thailand? This nearly century-old favourite in Bangkok's Old Town sources everything from its fresh-pressed coconut milk to fragrant pandan leaves from the finest suppliers around the country – and it shows.
This living-room restaurant, set in a Rama V-era home, specialises in old-timey Bangkok staples; many of which find their roots in the Royal kitchens. Its star dish is the khao chae, fragrant jasmine rice soaked in cold, flower-infused water, served with a host of toppings that could include meat-stuffed shallots and balls from shrimp paste.
A true hidden gem, started by a cool music collector who wants to share his best finds with music enthusiasts. Come here for a cool vibe, great music, and potentially an enriching conversation about Thailand's musical history.
This intimate boutique guest house located in the Old Town District is the perfect option for someone with a bit lower of a budget than the classic 5 star hotels ask for. The homey vibes and impeccably personal service here are unmatched for your stay in Bangkok.
