Retreat with grandparents in Bangkok

Just back from Bangkok—this trip was all about luxe living, secret eats, and some must-try spots for a perfect blend of relaxation and urban energy 🌿🏙️

Top Spots to Visit:
- ICONSIAM: The city’s splashiest shopping/dining experience, nestled along the Chao Phraya river. It’s a lifestyle destination with designer stores, Thai street market vibes, and drool-worthy riverside restaurants. Pro tip: snag Peninsula Bangkok’s staycation package for VIP river views and next-level comfort—worth every baht. ICONSIAM is open daily, but for crowd-free browsing, go early (10am) or late evening.
- Wang HingHoi: If you’re into culinary secrets—this firefly-inspired restaurant literally glows. Sits at 2065/4 Phetchaburi Rd and famous for its experimental Thai tasting menu in an immersive garden setting. Book ahead! Elderly-friendly too, with accessible paths.
- Spa Botanica at The Sukhothai Bangkok: The ultimate relaxation oasis, especially if you’re traveling with parents or seniors. Find it at 13/3 S Sathon Rd, open daily 10:00–20:00. Exceptional Thai massages and soothing herbal treatments; staff are wonderful with elderly guests. Pro tip: Book afternoon slots for the quietest experience.

Getting Around: Use Grab for air-conditioned rides, or hop on BTS Skytrain for quick escapes from traffic jams. Both are tourist-friendly and accept card/QR pay.

Food Rec: Try Wang HingHoi’s seasonal tasting menu and ICONSIAM’s street food zone for pad thai and mango sticky rice.

Tip: Carry small cash for markets, and note most high-end hotels/restaurants accept cards.
