Freebird Bangkok is part of the new breed of restaurants in the capital that focuses on inventive, high-level cuisine, but presented in a casual, lively atmosphere. Gone are crisp white table cloths and silver service (there are plenty of high-end hotels doing that already, anyway), and in their place is graffiti on the walls, abstract ceiling lights and funky tunes on the stereo. In the kitchen, all the culinary tricks are put to good use, but there’s no overly pretentious use of smoke or foam. Opening Hours: 17:30 - 24:00 daily (Weekend brunch: 11:00 - 15:00) BTS: Phrom Phong Address: 28 Sukhumvit Soi 47 (between Phomr Phong and Thonglor) Tel: +66 (0)2 662 4936

Drinks & Nightlife
Khao San Road - The popular book 'The Beach' famously described Khao San Road as "the centre of the backpacking universe". Judging by the truth-seeking travellers who converge here to shop, exchange tales and prepare for their next stint on the backpacker trail, it's a phrase that sums it up pretty much perfectly. BTS from Asoke to Saphan Taksin 22 minutes, 40 baht (not counting transfer time at Siam), plus about 25 minutes on the Chao Phaya boat (not counting waiting time), 14 baht, plus 10-15 minute walk.

Arts & Culture
The Ancient City is his attempt to give mankind a rudder, his slightly eccentric remedy for what he sees as "the moral deterioration of human society". Set in 320 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens on the outskirts of Bangkok, its success or failure in this lofty ambition is not clear. What is, however, is that it succeeds at preserving Thailand's singular heritage, its wonderful art, customs and culture for future generations.Opening Hours: 08:00 - 17:00 Location: Samut Prakan, Bangpoo How to get there: Taxi is probably the best way to go. Tell the driver "Muang Boran, Samut Prakarn". Or take the BTS Skytrain to On-Nut Station, then continue on taxi for about 30 minutes.
