Come Hang Out in Bangkok for Halloween 2025!
2025…. Wow some year.
A lot of my friends and family have found it to be a little stressful.
Come take a break and have a drink with me have some fun in the amazing city of Bangkok this Halloween. Getting together a group of fun chill folks to hang out with.
Bring your family and/or friends and explore some of the amazing Thai islands, nature preserves, elephant sanctuaries or make it a trip to explore the legendary nightclubs, live music and other establishments.
Why Bangkok for Halloween?
It’s a great time, the rainy season is ending but before the busy tourist season begins.
Agenda:
On October 30th join myself and Mariza at a casual pub like the Laughing Tiger or Robin Hood, and then likely go to a sky lounge like Tribe.
Then meet up for Lunch if available on the 31st for some ridiculously good food.
That’s about it. You’re on your own!
There’s a lot of things to do and see in the Big Mango. Specifically for Halloween there are both crazy things to engage in or more chill experiences so take your pick.
Some options could be (feel free to YouTube them as well)
Khaoson Road at Halloween LINK Kinda Crazy.
Emsphere Halloween Events LINK More upscale techno scene
Siam Square LINK More chill
Chocolate Ville Halloween LINK More family friendly
Sukhumvit Soi 11 LINK Crazy as well.
Soi Cowboy and Nana Plaza are also next level crazy as well for the more adventurous.
Eat Some of the best food ever.
Bangkok is a well known foodie destination.
Have $2 street noodles, $10 crab fried rice, $15 sushi, or a $50 steak.
Great options for every budget.
Hotel Options for all budgets
Stay in a 3 star hotel in the heart of Bangkok for about $50-100 / night.
e.g.
IBIS Hotel - Great hotel with solid reviews.
Also can just look on your favorite site such as Hotels.com. Expedia etc. to find one that meets your needs. There are TONs of hotel options.
I’d be happy to provide feedback on any hotels you find on their location, reviews etc.
Marriott member? 5 star hotels in Bangkok are a fraction of what you would pay in other major cities. e.g. The JW Marriott in NYC is often $700-1K per night but only $175 in BKK
JW Marriott - Great Property on Sukhumvit close to transit
Westin - Great Property on Sukhumvit. Close to transit
Le Meridian - Different area near Patpong market. Close to transit
Marriott Queens Park - New hotel. Great Skylounge and buffet. Little further (15min walk) from transit.
Marriott Pro tip- Become Marriott Platinum in 2026 and enjoy the exec lounges and free buffet breakfasts .
Call the Marriott missing stay phone # and ask to sign up for the “Run for Platinum” Stay 15 nights over the next 3 months and you will become platinum for the next full year.
Hilton member? Here are a few options. There are others but I personally haven’t tried them.
Hilton Sukhumvit - Great Property near Sukhumvit right by transit
Waldorf Astoria - Amazing Property close to luxury shopping. Pricey but supposed to be amazing
Other Stuff:
Day passes for hop on hop off boats on the Chao Pria river are less than $10 and go to many of the top tourist spots.
Floating Markets and the Maeklong Railway Market are cool to check out.
Try a thai cooking class. This one was great: Pink Chili Thai Cooking Classes
Check out night markets.
Train Night Market (one of our favorites)
Ton Sai Night Market (smaller and really easy to get to)
On weekends the Chatuchak Weekend Market is one of the largest markets in Asia. Can find anything there.
There are a ton of other night markets out there as well as shopping for legit items and copies of legit items.
Find adventure outside of Bangkok. Domestic flights are often less than $100.
Check out Chang Mai, Phuket, Krabi, Koh Samui and a many other cool places in the Kingdom.
Fave Food:
Australian Waygu beef boat noodles (with soup) at Thong Smith are life changing. Many locations around town. Available 0 to 3 peppers in spice.
Some great Thai places are Pantaree and Im Chan.
Talad Ruam Sab Lunch Food court is amazing. Can try endless options. Get a bag of fried chicken skin to snack on.
If you like Katsu try Tonkatsu Wako (other locations around)
Watermelon smoothies/shakes are a must. Sold everywhere and a great way to keep hydrated.
If you need a dose of Western food hit up Barney’s Burgers for a Double Trucker burger (thank me later)
Don’t forget to get a massage. Lek, Thai Thai, Lets Relax are all great places to get stretched out with a traditional Thai Massage. Great the day after a long flight.
A thai tea from Cha TraMue is a must. Locations all over the city. If you don’t like super sweet go for light sweet or not sweet.
And as always get the street food. Skewers, Moo Ping,Khra pao etc.
Also Mango Sticky rice is a must as well.
And more
Great live music with different bands every weekend on the Siam Walking Street
