Lopburi sits about 150 km north of Bangkok, two and a half hours by private van. The town packs two very different sights into one day: Phra Prang Sam Yot, the 13th-century Khmer temple known as the monkey temple, and the sunflower fields around Khao Chin Lae, which bloom in the cool season from about […]
Koh Samet is the closest beach island to Bangkok. The trip runs in two legs: a drive of about 186 km to Ban Phe Pier in Rayong, then a boat across to the island. By private van, the road leg takes about two and a half to three hours, and the ferry adds 30 to […]
Loy Krathong 2026 falls on Tuesday, 24 November. That evening, Bangkok residents float krathong, small rafts of banana leaf, flowers, incense and a candle, on the Chao Phraya River, park lakes and temple canals. The festival lasts one night. Plan two things before you go: when you reach the water, and how you get back […]
On a long layover at Suvarnabhumi, you can stay airside and rest, or clear immigration and spend a few hours in Bangkok. The airport sits about 30 km east of the city centre, and the drive takes 30 to 60 minutes each way. With 8 hours or more, you can fit a temple, a food […]
Central Park sits at the Silom and Rama IV corner, inside the Dusit Central Park development. Central Pattana built it as their 43rd shopping centre and the retail piece of a 46 billion baht mixed-use project in Bangkok’s central business district.

Foster and Partners masterplanned the site with Thai landscape architects TK Studio and environmental consultancy Atelier Ten, whose earlier work includes Jewel Changi Airport. Former Disney Imagineer Bill Coan contributed to the design. […]
A wedding or corporate event with guests travelling from a Bangkok hotel to a venue in Hua Hin, Ayutthaya, or Khao Yai runs on a schedule that has no room for a missed pickup or a van that shows up short on seats. This guide covers the transport side specifically, how many vehicles a guest […]
This is a booking calendar, not a festival guide. Every long weekend on the Thai calendar between September and December 2026 pushes transport demand up before the date itself, drivers and vehicles get booked out, and roads around Bangkok get heavier days before the holiday even starts. This covers exactly which dates to watch and […]
Neither Pattaya nor Hua Hin is far from Bangkok on paper, 150 km and 200 km. The distance is not what makes the trip hard for an elderly parent or a wheelchair user. The friction sits in details most travellers skip over when booking, the height of a car door, the timing of a rest […]
