48 hours in BANGKOK

DAY ONE

8AM: after a restful night's sleep at COMO METROPOLITAN BANGKOK and an energising in-house yoga session, choose from the hotel restaurant's shambhala spa-inspired breakfast menu while overlooking the pool. Alternatively, step out onto the streets of sathorn and walk a few blocks to TOBY'S AT SALADAENG. Tucked down a quiet business district laneway, this attractive Australian-inspired cafe is the latest of the owner's three modern offerings in the city, and its Aussie breakfast classics peppered with thai flavour will transport your tastebuds across the Asia Pacific. Pair a flat white or lean green juice with the prawn toast – topped with fried eggs, grilled prawns and lotus root served with black sesame sweet plum sauce, it's the hearty start you need to tackle the busy streets.

Cross the highway and stroll through one of the city's loveliest parks en route to SILOM metro station. Known aschi, making Buddhist offerings and taking to the lake in swan-shaped paddle boats.
