Bangkok - attraction information

What to do and see in Bangkok

Bangkok as a city is absolutely brimming with fresh and amazing attractions both cultural and entertaining too much to pack into a guide of this size but most all of them are worth seeing. Below are a few of the best attractions in Bangkok that you could visit while on holiday in Bangkok.

Grand Palace in Bangkok
This is an absolute must while on holiday in Bangkok. The Grand Palace is an outstanding architectural achievement; it is also home to the infamous Emerald Buddha, which is the most revered Buddha image in Thailand.

Wat Pho in Bangkok
The Temples of the Reclining Buddha, is directly adjacent to the Grand Palace. It houses more than 1000 Buddha images and the largest single Buddha image; 46m long and 15m high, decorated with gold plating and mother of pearl in its eyes and soles of its feet.

Khon Masked Dance in Bangkok
Watch Khon, Thailand's classical masked dance at the Sala Chalermkrung Theatre while on holiday in Bangkok. The dance is regarded one of the most refined of performing arts and was originally limited to the royal court.

Ancient City in Bangkok
Why not visit the ancient city of Bangkok? Meuang Boran is billed as the largest open-air museum in the world. Over a hundred of Thailand's most impressive monuments are rendered slightly less impressive in this 80-hectare (200-acre) collection of scale models. The attraction is south of the Thai capital, near the coast of the Gulf of Thailand. Depending on traffic, it can take as long as two hours to make the trip.

Floating Market in Bangkok
This world famous market is 80 Kilometres outside of Bangkok; this is a must while on holiday in Bangkok. You can take an organised tour or a bus from the Southern Bus Terminal. Every day boats crowd the market area early morning until around noon. If you wish you can travel around in boat and see a little of what Thai village life is like.

Eating in Bangkok
Where ever you go in Bangkok there's no shortage of eating options. Eat in a roadside noodle stall and watch the world go by. Savour fresh seafood at a local restaurant perched over the river, enjoy exquisite food from a swish hotel restaurant overlooking the city, or take a quick snack in a shopping mall food court. Whatever you choose, and wherever you are staying, you won't be disappointed.
As there are so many restaurants, food stalls and market places to choose from, recommending places to eat is not easy.

Bangkok - getting there

Tuk Tuk's in Bangkok
A holiday in Bangkok is not complete without a trip in a tuk tuk. Some dislike these three wheeled electro-carts but they do allow you to experience all the sights, sounds, and smells of the city in real time!

Taxi in Bangkok
Taxis in Bangkok are readily available. Only take the taxi's which are in the official taxi queue and only those that will show you the meter is working before you get in.
Never take their offer as it is illegal to operate a taxi without a meter in Bangkok.
