Bangkok is Asia's city of dreams, with so much cultural relevance and exotic entertainment, let's look at some of the best tours you can embark on in Bangkok.
Thailand has a number of temples and Bangkok alone has hundreds. This particular tour is a must for anyone interested in its culture as it introduces you to Wat Pho. Wat Pho is known as the home of the Reclining Buddha and Wat Phra Kaew, which is the Temple of the Emerald Buddha. The Emerald Buddha is a spiritual icon carved directly from jade and towers over all others in its spiritual significance. The tour also takes you to The Grand Palace, Thailand's foremost cultural and historical landmark.
Of all the exciting things to do around Bangkok, visiting the Damnoen Saduak floating market is an absolute must as it provides a truly exceptional experience. This is the pioneer of all floating markets, Damnoen Saduak offers a delightful experience even today, regardless of its touristy atmosphere. You'll see small narrow canals filled with longboats stuffed with fresh produce, all of which are competing for a position, with ladies bargaining as soon as they can halt their boats. The visual splendour along with its rising popularity makes the Damnoen Saduak floating market all the more iconic to Bangkok.
Bangkok is at the forefront of Asian nightlife entertainment, and the Calypso Cabaret Show is a simple proof of its potential. This is the preeminent ladyboy theatrical show in all of Bangkok. The show is filled with massive action, Broadway-styled entertainment and iconic show tunes. The production quality here is extremely high where the performers will surprise you with their beauty and showmanship. The Calypso Cabaret Show is suitable for the entire family, with songs that range from K-pop to Tina Turner to Christina Aguilera. Each ticket you purchase come with a complimentary drink. You'll also be able to order more from the bar should you need it. Should you search for great hotels in Bangkok you'll have many options available such as the AVANI Riverside Bangkok Hotel for instance.
If the hustle and bustle of Bangkok gets a little tough for you, you can unwind and explore the ancient capital of Ayutthaya with an easy day trip, providing the perfect counterbalance to the city atmosphere. This day tour gives you access to some of the many majestic ruins all from the comfort of a river cruise. The Ayutthaya Tour River Cruise starts with a 1 and half hour coach ride to this extremely peaceful town, right before you spend the rest of your day exploring temples and learning about the detailed and impressive period of Thailand's past.
If you're looking for an adventurous fun-filled affair for the whole family, Dream World is where you need to be. With a day out here, your family will experience the thrilling and spectacular atmosphere of this massive amusement park.
