Our Story
Welcome to SOKSOI, a platform created with a passion for exploring Bangkok & Thailand beyond the typical tourist spots.
When I travel, I love to visit local neighborhoods, try authentic food and drinks, and support small businesses that give each area its unique character.
As a solo traveler, I know how easy it is to follow the usual tourist route and end up at places that feel more commercial than authentic.
That’s why I created SOKSOI—to help fellow travelers like you discover the alternative, hidden side of Bangkok.
Taking leisurely walks and bike rides through the city is one of my favorite ways to truly immerse myself in local culture.
Beyond the crowded tourist destinations, I’ve found that Bangkok’s smaller alleys, bustling markets, cozy shops, and humble homes hold the heart of the city.
These spots offer a refreshing escape from the typical tourist trail and a deeper connection to the people and places you visit.
At SOKSOI, we focus on uncovering these hidden gems—the markets, the street food, the local businesses, and the everyday sights that make Bangkok so special.
For each route, you can go DIY using our curated Free Maps, which include clear directional lines to guide you. Or, if you’d like some company, feel free to join me for a walk or ride.
With these resources, you’ll be able to navigate Bangkok like a pro and explore the city effortlessly—just like a local!
If you’re ready to explore Bangkok in a way that supports local communities, uncovers hidden treasures, and connects you with the real spirit of the city, then join me on this journey.
Let’s discover the authentic charm of Bangkok, one small alley at a time.
