Photo quests in Bangkok What the catalogue actually holds here, and which of it is worth rearranging a day around. Bangkok holds 26 quests across six categories, led by Food with six โ€” though only just, with five in History behind it. The one category with nothing in Bangkok so far is Beach. Seven of them are tier 1 โ€” finds rather than fixtures, and the one tier whose check-in asks for PRO; the other 19 are open on any plan. Tier 3 covers twelve of them, which is the label for what a visitor would expect a travel app to have anyway. A food quest names the dish rather than the restaurant: the pin sits on the room that serves it, but what you are going for is the plate. History here means places where something happened and the ground still shows it, which is also where the famous version and the standing version most often part company. Every check-in works the same way: the geotag your camera wrote into the photo has to land within 200 m of the quest's own point. ### By category Each of these opens the whole category across every city, with the Bangkok quests among them. - [History quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/category/history) โ€” five in Bangkok - [Nature quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/category/nature) โ€” four in Bangkok - [Art quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/category/art) โ€” three in Bangkok - [Food quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/category/food) โ€” six in Bangkok - [Sport quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/category/sport) โ€” three in Bangkok - [Party quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/category/party) โ€” five in Bangkok --- Tier 1 ## The unexpected ones The seven quests in Bangkok the catalogue files as finds rather than fixtures โ€” the half of a city a guidebook has no room for. - [Khaosan Road](https://getmap.travel/quests/CEiJvoq6MRwNEBxw5iQw) It is only 410 metres from end to end Party - [Bang Kachao](https://getmap.travel/quests/ChIJ_1wg6Xqf4jARwu_tBPmKbmU) A green river loop across from the city centre Nature - [Chang Chui](https://getmap.travel/quests/ChIJ22-CLySa4jARj0CDh5NxNL0) A retired airliner sits in the middle of it Art - [Abandoned Mansion](https://getmap.travel/quests/ChIJ82hpAWaf4jARIPIc3KEAPtw) A cocktail bar built to look like a ruin Party - [Pad thai](https://getmap.travel/quests/ChIJpb1t5wWZ4jARRi9vbFYYOTw) Tamarind is what makes it sour Food - [Bangkokian Museum](https://getmap.travel/quests/ChIJR899CdqY4jAR9k0sJXIVHC4) A 1930s home still holds its family rooms History - [Rajadamnern Stadium](https://getmap.travel/quests/QefhYToxro4jEThYuIX4) Fighters score with elbows and knees too Sport --- Nearby ## Cities near Bangkok Ranked by distance rather than by border, because from here the next useful stop is often the one in the next country. - [Chiang Mai 12 quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/city/th/chiang-mai) - [Ho Chi Minh City 11 quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/city/vn/ho-chi-minh-city) - [Da Nang 9 quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/city/vn/da-nang) - [Hong Kong 5 quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/city/hk/hong-kong) - [Boracay 12 quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/city/ph/boracay) - [Agra 13 quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/city/in/agra) --- Questions ## About quests in Bangkok ### How many photo quests are there in Bangkok? 26, across six of the seven categories the catalogue uses. The deepest groups are Food (6), History (5) and Party (5). Nothing in Beach here yet โ€” a category appears in a city the moment a quest is published into it, so the gaps move. Among them: Wat Arun, Bang Kachao and Chang Chui. ### What is there to do in Bangkok beyond the obvious? 7 of the 26 quests in Bangkok are tier 1, which is the catalogue's own mark for a find rather than a landmark: the pipeline that writes it is told that tier 3 is "everything a visitor would expect a travel app to have", and that tiers 1 and 2 are "only the unexpected finds". Bangkok holds seven at tier 1, seven at tier 2 and 12 at tier 3. The tier 1 quests here are Khaosan Road, Bang Kachao and Chang Chui, and four more, which fall under History, Nature, Art, Food, Sport and Party. ### Can you do all the Bangkok quests on one trip? Most of them, with transport. The outermost of the 26 is 18 km from the middle of the Bangkok list, so the cluster in the middle is an afternoon and the edges are a bus or a taxi each. ### Which Bangkok quests can you do for free? 19 of the 26 can be checked in on the free plan, and all 26 can be read and travelled to without paying anything โ€” the catalogue is open signed out, on every plan. PRO covers the check-in on the hardest tier, which in Bangkok means seven quests: Khaosan Road, Bang Kachao and Chang Chui, and four more. ### How do I prove I visited a place in Bangkok? Take the photo at the place and upload it. Your browser reads the location the camera wrote into that file and measures it against the quest's own coordinates; inside 200 m the check-in counts. The distance is measured to the point, not to the city: being in Bangkok is not what is checked, and a photo taken across town from Wat Arun fails exactly the way one taken at home does. A file with no location in it cannot be checked at all, and a photo that has been through a messaging app usually arrives that way โ€” upload the original out of the camera roll rather than a copy someone sent back to you. The Food quests in Bangkok sit on the room where the dish is served rather than on the dish, so that address is what the 200 m is measured from. --- This is the Markdown rendering of https://getmap.travel/quests/city/th/bangkok.
