About GoingToBangkok

Having travelled to more than 100 countries, I understand the challenges of exploring new places. Originally from the United Kingdom, I’ve lived much of my life in Thailand since 2002, helping young people through education. Bangkok has become home, and this site is my way of sharing it. GoingToBangkok offers a straightforward view of the city, updated regularly to help visitors plan smoothly and travel with confidence.
