Bars in Bangkok

Newest Review: ... suggest that you check out your hotel bar first, to appreciate the ambience of the place, then maybe set off out to widen your explorations. The taxis (usually a bright pink or red Toyota) with 'taxi meter' on the top are a favourite mode of transportation, but I would suggest that you agree the price with the driver prior to setting off, or insist on using the meter.
