Before you set off on your great Thai road trip, set some time aside to sample Bangkok’s culinary delights!
First up: The Kid Mai Death Awareness Cafe, because nothing pairs better with coffee than the crushing realization of your own inevitable mortality. Pro tip: lie down in the big white coffin and contemplate your final moments for a couple minutes to get a discount on your milkshake.
If you prefer sweet over dark, head over to Kor Panich instead. This century-old shop has nothing to do with existential dread and everything to do with top-tier mango sticky rice.
Jack's take
Asian airlines are coming together to treat us with some Thai! Bangkok is always a great hub to connect around Southeast Asia, and we've got flights for the high season in the beginning of the year and some early-planner-friendly dates in August-September.
