BEYOND THE CONVENTIONAL TRAVEL GUIDE
We started the Bangkok Shortlist in 2020 as a passion project between two friends who both live in Bangkok. We’ve both lived here for more than four years and love exploring Bangkok.
We believe that Bangkok offers more than just the same crap found in boring recycled guides. Having said this, sometimes the most rewarding experiences can be found in the most popular spots – like visiting Wat Po- OR, perhaps they could be found in hidden gems us locals know about, like a small cocktail bar in the Japanese village.
Whatever the case, we’re pretty sure that like us, you enjoy good food, doing some sightseeing, as well as some pampering and drinks while on vacation. Even though we live in Bangkok, we still do this (when we’re not working that is).
We strive to keep our guides practical, straight to the point and digestible, empowering YOU to select what fits.
What makes us stand out is the simple fact that we aren’t affiliated with any agency, hotel group, or anyone. We do provide links for tickets here and there, however this is barely enough to pay our bills. And so, we do this for fun! Why? Because we like it …and truth be told, because we have been asked by friends so many times we’re just tired of sharing the same lists! Now we just say, “check out our website”!
HANDPICKED SELECTIONS ONLY
We love exploring Bangkok and discovering the best of the best. As such, we aim to share only the crème de la crème that Bangkok has to offer, rather then barrage you with endless options, lists etc. We’ve curated around topics that matter to us, which we think YOU will love. Bangkok has tons to offer and we hate hearing about bad experiences hence we focus on experiences and places that have proven their worth and offer consistent value.
CONCISE AND FRESH
We value your time and rather than overwhelming you with endless choices, we cut to the chase, providing a curated list of the finest things to do in Bangkok. These are selections we recommend to our closest friends and family when they visit. If it’s good enough for them, it’s good enough for you 🙂
