I know Halloween is coming up (PS I didn’t even realize Thailand celebrates it) but this monster thing scared the beejeezus out of me as I was coming out of Silom Complex. I mean you don’t see it right away as it’s not in eye-level.

But they really went crazy scary with this one.

I'm trying to make a list of cafes with comfortable outdoor seating.

(mainly because I like to study and speak out loud while doing so, and I don't want to disturb people in a quiet cafe)

So far I have:

• Bang Chak: Tavy's Home
• Punnawithi: True Digital Park / Cloud 11
• Punnawithi: 66 Cottage
• Ekkamai: M Cafe

Does anyone have any more suggestions? Any area of Bangkok would be appreciated.

Edit: Thanks everyone for amazing suggestions!

I wasn't able to attend this - I did not know about it - but I am in Bangkok now and will drop by the sculpture garden and pay my respects to the students who fought for Thai democracy.

The article gives a nice little history of what led to the reforms of 1973 and why 1976 happened. My best to the Thai people.

He is friendly and let me give belly rubs. At a small price of some grilled fish.

He can be found loafing near the Chinese pavillion in front of free weights gym.

I have a reservation for a table for 4 at the hard to get, three Michelin star, Sorn, for October 29 at 6pm. I'm looking for 1 or 2 other people to join our table. Please DM if interested.

basically the title, for a little bit of context - i plan on going for a road trip to north, so the dealerships' rents are out of option - they have a mileage (or kilometerage if u prefer) limit - not sure how they enforce it though

Ate so much good food. Wanted to try more but I was so full!!

Hi! I am flying to Thailand for the first time specially just to attend a concert. The venue is Lido Connect, and I wanted to ask if there is a store to buy food inside the venue (after scanning your ticket.) Because I'm looking at the entry time and the concert start time and confused as to what I'm supposed to do for those 2 hours during dinner time. Thank you!

Where is the best market in Bangkok for clothes, especially items like linen shirts, pants, or outdoor shirts/work clothes?

I'm looking for recommendations for a great dentist who specializes in **composite bonding** to close a tooth gap. (Diastema)

I want to go the direct bonding route rather than crowns or veneers, but I have one major requirement: it needs to look **100% natural**.

I absolutely hate that blindingly white, "piano keys" look where teeth look super fake and unnatural.

I want it to blend in seamlessly with my real teeth so nobody can ever tell anything was done.
If you've had a great experience getting subtle, hyper-natural composite bonding done in Bangkok, which clinic or dentist did you go to?

Any recommendations (or places to avoid) would be hugely appreciated!

As written, I want to live in Thailand for couple of years while selling digital products online. I am targeting to sell to people outside of Thailand. What kind of visa and bank account will be needed. Thanks for ur help.

I will be in Bangkok next week and looking for
Good places with streetwear, tailored pants, jeans and shoes and vintage records and need some recommendations.

I don’t necessarily need rep or fake items, just decent quality ones with nice options, without getting into tourist traps or overpaying for cheap items.

I have heard about Red building at Chatuchak market, Platinum mall, MBK center etc.

What’s the best bet for my case?

Does anyone know what's with the white and yellow dome? Are they ditching the iconic gold for this new style? Or is it just a transition before they paint it gold again?

Here visiting until mid november. Any travellers/locals interested in walking around to explore the city, take some photos/videos in different areas of the city? Prefer evenings but daytime can work too.

Also down to walk around malls and try different cafes / restaurants. Eating by myself all the time at restaurants kinda depressing 😅

26m from Canada

I do amateur videography

I like to walk alot, explore the city.

Down to try some new foods

DM me for Instagram 👍

So I’m weighing the long-term stay options in Thailand, and I keep hitting a psychological wall with the Elite Visa. The idea of dropping 600k to 900k+ THB (or more for the higher tiers) on something that is essentially a non-refundable entry ticket just rubs me the wrong way.

That naturally makes the 3 Million Baht Property Investor Pathway look tempting on paper. At least with a condo, your core capital is locked into an asset. Sure, it might depreciate, you'll pay transfer fees, and you might take a loss when you sell, but mathematically you're usually getting a massive chunk of your principal back compared to an Elite membership fee.

Is anyone here actually doing the 3 Million condo route mostly as a visa vehicle while quietly dreading the actual realities of property ownership? Did you regret trying to outsmart the Elite Visa fee, or do you find the ownership headache worth knowing you didn't just hand the government a pile of non-refundable cash?

Electric TukTuk in Portugal. Quiet and comfortable.

When will they be in Bangkok?

Edit: Let me rephrase the question. When will they be the standard on Bangkok's streets and replace gasoline-powered TukTuks?
