7 Things to Do in Bangkok When it Rains
What to Do in Bangkok on Rainy Days
It can be frustrating when you wake up to cloudy days when you’re on holiday, but Bangkok has plenty of options to keep you busy even when it rains. If you’re feeling energetic, check out some Muay Thai boxing training, or challenge your pals to your own version of the Grand Prix.
Anyone who loves to shop will have already heard how fabulous Bangkok‘s malls are, but they also offer plenty of family fun, including ice rinks and bowling. Siam Paragon even has one of Asia’s largest aquariums in its basement! There’s so much fun to be had indoors that you’ll soon forget about the bad weather.

Getting pampered with a massage while in Bangkok should be a rite of passage. There are massage shops set up on practically every street, so you’re never more than a quick dash away if the heavens open. But for that little touch of luxury, every 5-star hotel has an in-house spa at a fraction of the price you would expect to pay back home, so there’s no reason to even reach for that umbrella. Thai massage has been exported to every corner of the globe but, in our opinion, the original is still the best… we’ll leave it for you to decide. Continua a leggere

At Terminal 21, shopping is only one small part of the experience. This mall has a ‘one floor, one city’ design that allows visitors to travel the world one escalator at a time. The boulevards of Paris, ornate lanterns of Tokyo and the towering Golden Gate Bridge of San Francisco are all displayed, along with other cities including London, Istanbul and Rome. Terminal 21 must take the accolade of the most unique concept for a shopping mall in Bangkok, in Thailand, and perhaps in all of Asia. Continua a leggere

An engaging and thought-provoking way to spend an afternoon is at The Bangkok Art and Cultural Centre. This striking cylindrical building with a spiral staircase lining the outer wall in a Guggenheim-esque fashion is the highlight of Thailand’s art scene. It has an ever-changing roster of exhibits ranging from sculpture to photography and every creative discipline in between. It’s a popular hangout for students (maybe because it’s free), local artists and tourists, with a few shops and cafés with a faux-bohemian vibe. Continua a leggere

If you can’t stand the rain, get in the kitchen! Taking a cookery class is a popular activity throughout Thailand, where food is such a distinctive and enjoyable part of life. There are many cooking classes in Bangkok, so it’s up to you how hands-on you’d like to be. Some classes take guests through the entire process – from sourcing ingredients at the market, through to sitting down and enjoying the fruits of your labour. Other classes arrange everything so all participants have to do is turn up and start cooking.
