Chocolate Ville Bangkok, with its whimsical European-inspired architecture and delightful chocolate treats, is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike. But getting to this dessert paradise can be a bit tricky, as it’s located outside the reach of Bangkok’s extensive public transportation network.
Here’s a rundown of your two main options for reaching Chocolate Ville:
1. Taxi:
- This is the most convenient option, especially if you’re unfamiliar with the city. Most taxi drivers know Chocolate Ville, or you can show them the address in Thai to avoid any confusion. Here’s a tip: ask your hotel concierge to write down the address in Thai for you.
- Be mindful of Bangkok’s notorious traffic, particularly during peak hours and weekends. Factor in some extra time for your journey.
- Taxis use a meter, so you’ll pay based on the distance traveled. Negotiating fares is not recommended.
2. Ride-Sharing App (Grab):
- Grab is a popular ride-sharing app in Southeast Asia, similar to Uber. It offers a convenient and often more affordable alternative to taxis.
- Download the Grab app on your phone before your trip and create an account.
- Once you have the app, simply enter "Chocolate Ville" as your destination and a car will be assigned to you. You can see the estimated fare upfront and pay electronically through the app.
Here are some additional things to keep in mind:
- Consider booking a table in advance, especially if you’re visiting during the weekend or holidays. Chocolate Ville is a popular spot and can get crowded.
- While Chocolate Ville has its own parking lot, it can fill up quickly. Be prepared to wait a bit for a parking space, especially during peak times.
Enjoy your trip to Chocolate Ville!
With a little planning and the information above, you’ll be well on your way to indulging in Bangkok’s chocolate wonderland.
