The 10 Best Hotels in Bangkok, Ranked
The river runs this list. Most of these sit on the Chao Phraya, from the old grande dames in Bang Rak to Capella's all-suite newcomer with plunge pools, and only a handful break for Siam, Thonglor or Sukhumvit. I'd point at the Four Seasons in Sathon.
The 10 Best Spas & Wellness Spots in Bangkok, Ranked
This is a list dominated by straightforward Thai massage studios rather than hotel spas, with three of them stacked along Surawong Road and a couple of Japanese-style onsen branches breaking up the pattern. Health Land at Asoke is the one I'd name for sheer volume, a colonial-style mansion doing two-hour traditional Thai for pocket money.

Fourteen temples, from Wat Pho, the Grand Palace and Wat Arun on the river to the Golden Mount, the Marble Temple and Chinatown's Golden Buddha.

Fifteen markets, from Chatuchak and the flower market to floating markets, night markets and Pratunam's wholesale lanes. The days and hours on each card come from the market's Google listing.

The 17 Best Muay Thai Gyms in Bangkok, Ranked

Eight floating markets within a day trip of Bangkok, from Khlong Lat Mayom and Taling Chan to Damnoen Saduak and Amphawa, with the days each one opens, the travel time and the boat ride.

Eight night markets, from Asiatique, Chatuchak and Yaowarat to the train market and Jodd Fairs.
The 9 Best Activities & Tours in Bangkok, Ranked
This lot leans big and busy, with a theme park, an aquarium under a mall, a safari park and a couple of proper crowd-pullers like the observation deck and Lumphini. If you want something smaller, Co van Kessel's canal bike tours sit near the bottom on volume but top the ratings, and Rajadamnern is the one I'd name for a real Muay Thai night.
