Lazy Foodie Couple's Travel Guide to Bangkok, Thailand! Grab it and no need to thank me!
Where to stay in Bangkok?
There are so many good hotels, everyone has different budget needs, so it's up to you, but I also recommend a few hotels that I think are good: For couples who are not short on cash, the Mandarin Oriental Bangkok, for those who want affordability without losing the hotel experience, the Centre Point Hotel Chidlom Bangkok, and for a bit of luxury, the Shangri-La Hotel Bangkok ❤️

Day1
Visit the supermarket on the minus one floor of the Siam Paragon Shopping District to try some durian 😋
Then you can go to the Grand Palace and the Temple of the Reclining Buddha to have a look 👀
In the evening, take the public ferry to the 'Ferris Wheel Night Market' for some food and drinks 🍻 You can also take a ride on the Ferris wheel to join in the fun 🎡
There's also a lot to buy here, and you can bargain at the stalls‼️

Day2
Sleep until noon, then go for a 'T&K Seafood' curry crab, raw marinated shrimp, and mango sticky rice ✔️ T&K is a well-known local chain (quality is top-notch online) so just search for this restaurant on the map and go to whichever is closest.
Then head to the 'Chatuchak Weekend Market' for a stroll (Friday, Saturday, Sunday). This market is huge, with food, drinks, and shopping. By the time you're done, it's usually evening and you can barely walk ✔️ That's when you can go to the famous massage parlor Let's Relax for a massage‼️ The Centre Point Hotel Chidlom Bangkok I recommended at the beginning has a branch of this massage parlor on the first floor, which is why I often stay at this hotel when I'm in Bangkok 😂

Day3
Sleep until noon and go to Chulalongkorn University for a stroll. The campus is open and large, and you can check in anywhere. There are also many popular restaurants among students, such as 'Chula 50's' affordable crab meat rice. It's really delicious, but it's just too crowded during meal times. Also, the Centre Point Hotel Chidlom Bangkok I mentioned at the beginning is just a 2-minute walk from these popular restaurants 😂 You can take away food and eat back at the hotel.
In the evening, you can go to Chinatown for some food and drinks. Famous dishes like pig's trotter rice and pig's offal soup are easy to find there. You can also try some bird's nest and shark fin. Don't think that you shouldn't go to Chinatown just because it's mostly Chinese; the shops run by Chinese descendants there are really delicious 😋

Day4
You should definitely visit the big malls like Terminal 21 and the downtown King Power Duty Free Shop‼️ The former has many cultural and creative stores, and there's a lot of food and drink, making it very enjoyable to shop‼️ I don't always find the prices of luxury goods at King Power very attractive, but tourists can get vouchers with their passports, and having a meal in the food area is no problem 😋 Then you can go shopping for some local products to take home as gifts 🎁

Eating, drinking, and massages are the main highlights of a trip to Bangkok 😌
It's really comfortable and happy ❤️
Bangkok has two airports, and I recommend 'Suvarnabhumi Airport' ✈️ It's very new and big, and the international flight waiting area is full of King Power Duty Free shops 🛍️ Even if your flight is delayed, you'll have a great time shopping there ❤️
