MUST DO IN BANGKOK – FREE ACTIVITY IN BANGKOK

• FREE Louis Vuitton Exhibition Experience at the Louis Vuitton store within the Siam shopping district.
• All visitors receive a free LV gift (I got collectible LV postcards 💌)
• It’s a completely free experience you can book through the official LV website, and it’s designed like a small fashion museum — creative, interactive, and beautifully curated. A great opportunity to get photos in a unique place.
• Book early — appointments open about three months in advance and fill quickly.

My Tip: Pre-booking your tours and activities online (through GetYourGuide, Klook, or Viator) is often cheaper and saves you time. Bangkok can be busy, so having your must-dos booked in advance helps you stay organised and stress-free.
