Bangkok in 3 Days

Three timed days in Bangkok, written by people who live here. The fair price and the tourist price for everything, the temples worth your morning, how to eat without a tourist menu, and the scams to walk past. Fifteen pages, phone-friendly PDF.

  • Day 1: the river temples, the right way round
  • Day 2: Old Town, Chinatown, and where to eat at 10pm
  • Day 3: markets, canals and one neighbourhood tourists skip
  • A one-page cost table and the five scams to recognise on sight

Send me the free guide

Enter your email and the PDF opens on the next page. You’ll also get our short Thailand letter once a week, which you can leave any time.

No spam, no selling your address. One email a week, written by the same people who wrote the guide.

Fair price vs tourist price

A street plate is ฿50–80. You’ll be quoted ฿150. Both numbers are in the guide.

Verdicts, not lists

Which temples deserve your morning and which to skip. We say no to more things than we say yes to.

Nobody paid to be in it

No sponsored hotels or placed restaurants. Some booking links earn us a small commission at no cost to you, and we say so.
