Victory Monument in Bangkok – A lively district full of contrasts

If you really want to experience Bangkok, then you can’t avoid the Victory Monument. The area around the monument is full of energy. A place where you can feel the real Bangkok – loud, lively, and incredibly diverse. We spent a few days here and explored a lot on foot. This not only allowed us to see a lot but also to discover the little hidden corners that you might otherwise overlook.

Street food & local markets – Bangkok’s true treasures

An absolute highlight of the area? The food! Around the Skytrain station and in the small side streets, one street food stall follows the next. We tried our hand at fashion – from crispy pork belly to fresh mango sticky rice. The mini kitchens, where the food is prepared right in front of your eyes, are particularly exciting. You can literally see how fresh the ingredients are – and taste them anyway!

Victory Monument is not a classic shopping district, but that makes it so exciting. The small street markets and hidden mini-malls have affordable fashion, cool accessories, and many vintage pieces. Fashion gave us the flexibility to travel from market to market, and we ended up in tiny stores that we would probably never have found otherwise.

In addition to the markets, there are also modern shopping centers such as Century The Movie Plaza, where you can find stores, a cinema, and cafés – perfect for a little break in between.
