Bangkok Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Bankok travel
#timetotravel
Travelers have a hard time putting a pin in Bangkok's personality. Most first-timers see this city as one caught between the past and the present. Ancient temples and modern shopping malls comprise Thailand's capital, and Buddhist monks and regulars of Patpong (Bangkok's red light district) share the city's streets. The contrast can result in an exhilarating yet chaotic setting.
With that said, Bangkok's dynamic environment requires a lot of energy. Consistently hot weather and persistent crowds take their toll on unprepared visitors. Yes, the city seems to boil over with everything from humidity to humanity, but it's this exotic overabundance that charms travelers. Here, you'll find the world's largest open-air market, a world-class aquarium housed in an eight-level shopping mall, a 150-foot golden Buddha statue and so much more. It's a city of vast surprises, so savor its delightful incongruity.

DIY Sight-seeing in Bintan Island
Part of my birthday staycation in Bintan last April, we dedicated a chunk of our 2nd day going around tourist spots of our liking. I booked a private car charter for 6 hours and it costed us around 80sgd including tips for the driver. Knowing that our accommodation is far from the usual tourist spots, we decided to start the day early by leaving right after breakfast.
The driver picked us up and off we went to our first location, which was 500 Lohan Temple. The driver accompanied us inside the temple and helped us pay for the entrance ticket. There were not many people as it was still early, and it was hot! Our driver also helped took photos of me and my sister together. The temple was interesting as it featured 500 life-size statues with different facial expressions.
Second location is Gurun Pasir Bintan aka as Bintan Desert and Blue Lake. This place was amazing! The very vibrant colour of the blue lake against the white sandy hills was so pretty. There are several activities available to do here. This was our favourite place. Lots of photo ops here with our driver offering to take photos of us again. Look for the 2D animals in the sandy hills haha! It can get very hot though so please be hydrated when visiting. There are many food and drink stalls here so don’t fret. The driver took us to a stall that sells coconut juice, sat, drank, and rested for a bit.
Last location is Trikora beach. According to reviews, this beach boasts of white sand and clear blue water. Both were true but my issue was that the shore was dirty. We didn’t know if it was just that part of the shore since it’s a long stretch. It was still very pretty though. It was the beachfront of the restaurant Pizza Casa Italia where we had our late lunch. This restaurant has very good reviews which convinced me to try when we visit Bintan. We noticed there were more local families eating here and having a get-together than tourists. We loved the pizza, it was so filling even though it’s thin crust and tasted delicious. We enjoyed our lunch especially with the beach as the view.
The driver dropped us off in our hotel before the supposed 6-hour charter because we arrived early. Still wasn’t an issue since we were very tired and hot due to the weather. We paid, tipped our driver and thanked him, officially ending our DIY tour.
Featured in the photos are:
1-2. Bintan Desert & Blue Lake
3-4. 500 Lohan Temple

Bintan resort you'll surely come back for!
My sister and I stayed at The Residence Bintan for 3D2N for my birthday celebration last April. We stayed at the Upper Sea View Suite. Everything from that trip was perfect. My only gripe was that we wished we could have stayed longer.
The resort's location is secluded perfect for that much needed break from work. This would require 1.5 hrs. of travel from the ferry terminal, we did not mind though as we just slept thru the whole free shuttle ride with free cookies, water, & cold towel. Once arrived, we were just in awe of the breathtaking views everywhere in the resort.
Check-in was relatively smooth and easy. A miniscule gripe for me was that we weren't offered the welcome drinks as we step in the lobby and wait for someone to check us in, unlike the other guests that arrived with us. Doesn't really diminish the overall satisfaction with the service and our stay though. Reception staff were very friendly. We were eventually offered the drinks when I walked up to the counter and did the check-in.
Our suite was very spacious & beautifully designed. I enjoyed the hammock and the tub. The sunrise and sunset view from the outside deck was very pretty. The suite also comes with 2 bicycles for you to use as the resort is really massive. We did not use it though since we didn't know how to ride bikes haha. Instead, we used the free buggy service a lot of times. There were a lot of complimentary activities but what I really enjoyed was the private beach especially during low tide. View from the pool is crazy!
Food and drinks were good. We tried all the dining options available. Breakfast spread was good! We dined at Rica Rica, food was great! 5 stars! We dined at the Dining Room, food was also good. The drinks at the pool bar were also nice, + points for the live music! Rimbun grill buffet was definitely worth it. The setting was very whimsical with fairy lights dining by the sea at night. We also tried the afternoon tea they offered. The staff also delivers fruit and snacks to our suite. Yum!
I really want to commend the service. Staff were all smiles and very friendly. My introvert self took a step back and just enjoyed the small talks and greetings from the staff.
Will definitely be back and try other accommodation options! 😍

Bintan Breakfast
Had a great stay at Anmon resort #bintan during weekend. Thanks to the deal at Trip that I had it for $259 a night with transport to and from ferry terminal, self service welcome drink and great breakfast!
This is the good point from my stay so far with a lot of variants and its very yummy! Although sweet and sour fish is too salty but still not a turn down point. Everyone here can speak and understand english very well. There is not much thing to discover, but breakfast is so nice!
Need to pay for water and other activities around here. Perfect getaway for those who love secluded area, summer (sun tanned), and quite/private time. It's kinda inconvenient to get food or any groceries here but its still doable (if you get driver from hotel, even though expensive but worth it!)

Glamping Overseas
#bintan resort trip for the first time ever. Me and my friend arrived earlier as we reached bintan by 10am, we were in the resort by 11.30 and waited until 1.30 to checked into the room.
Buggy ride available to bring us to the room. The room is quite small with no TV but very homey. There's umbrella and mosquito repellent. It's totally like a dessert. Bintan is also very quite like a ghost town. Great choice for an introvert escape/getaway. Perfect #summertrip (literally).
Food here also not bad, we ordered caesar salad and fries for about $30;
