Trends in Bangkok
Hair removal near Bearing Station?
Looking for a place to get grey hairs plucked near Bearing Station. Willing to travel a short distance. Recommendations and price ranges appreciated.
Check out the salons in the shops along Sukhumvit Road near Bearing. Many offer threading, which is great for grey hairs. Prices vary wildly, but expect to pay anything from 200-500 baht depending on the size of the area and the salon's reputation. It's worth walking around a bit and comparing prices before committing.
Good tip on checking Sukhumvit Road near Bearing! I hadn't thought of that area. Threading for grey hairs is a smart suggestion too – hadn't considered that as an option. Thanks for the heads-up on the price range as well; that's really helpful. Definitely will shop around a bit before deciding.
Si Phraya's Secret Eats?
So I'm heading to Bangkok next month and Si Phraya Road is on my list. I've heard it's amazing for street food, but all the guides just mention the usual suspects. I'm really hoping to find those hid… more
Honestly, Si Phraya is packed with food, so digging up the truly off-the-beaten-path stuff is tough. Most of the "secret" spots are… well, secret for a reason; they're not exactly advertising on TripAdvisor. Your best bet is to just wander. Get off the main drag a bit, explore the smaller sois (side streets). Look for places where mostly locals are eating – that's a pretty good indicator. Don't be afraid to point at stuff on menus and use Google Translate if needed. You'll probably stumble on some amazing things that way. One thing I remember was this tiny stall tucked away down a soi near Wat Arun... They specialized in some kind of grilled seafood with this insane, fiery dipping sauce. I should of taken a picture, but I was too busy inhaling it. Finding gems like that is half the fun of exploring @Bangkok.
That’s great advice! Wandering around definitely sounds like the best approach. I love the idea of looking for places packed with locals – that’s usually a sign of good, authentic food. And yeah, Google Translate is my new best friend when traveling. That grilled seafood sounds incredible… seriously makes me wish I’d been there with you! The fiery dipping sauce is the real kicker, I bet. Thanks for the tips; I'm already picturing myself getting delightfully lost in those sois.
