Bangkok has taken on the nature of a beehive with people going on about their busy routines every day – its spectacular attractions make Bangkok an alluring spectacle in the eyes of its visitors.
This is one thing you should not miss on your tour to Bangkok – thought to be the most impressive site that there is – the palace was once residence to the king of Thailand. At one time, this was the centre where all the government official work was carried, but now it's mostly a tourist attraction that draws people into the city.
No one can resist Bangkok's wonderful shopping scene which is at large in every corner of the city. Ranging over 27 acres is the Chatuchak Market that has touched the hearts of every shopaholic. With 8000 stalls on offer – Chatuchak Market is never a disappointment. The market attracts no less 200,000 visitors daily.
In addition to being the world-famous shopping destination, Bangkok has plenty to offer to its visitors in terms of culture and history. At the Bangkok National Museum, you will be greeted by a vast array of spectacular cultural and historical artefacts.
If you have heard of Bangkok, you will have heard of its most popular Thai massages. After months and months of hectic work schedules – you'd want to revive that depleted energy by dropping in at a Thai massage parlour. You can take your pick from a hundred of those parlours that are found everywhere in the city.
isn't this the one thought that flitted across your mind when you made your flight ticket Booking with a tour company such as Mack trip? If this is the case, you are not alone in answering yes to that question. Siam Paragon is a shoppers' paradise that houses a plethora of shopping outlets. The mall is mainly famous as a place where you can buy high-end fashion items and if you are rich enough – Ferraris and Lamborghinis (cherish the thought eh?). The mall is a place of interest for people who have no trouble splashing a bit of money – but at any rate – there is the largest aquarium in Asia – not to mention the multiplex cinema – for you to enjoy if you don't want to shop.
After all the expensive shopping and sightseeing – it's time for you to go for a nice evening walk. The park is sort of tucked away from the city and is an ideal spot for you to go for a romantic stroll or sit and relax on a bench by the lake.
Bangkok's night markets have earned a reputation for its tasty street food. Packed with street vendors – in every corner of the city –you can enjoy popular Thai street food available at unbelievably low prices.
This is probably not the first thing you were thinking of when you touched dry land, but this is something you shouldn't miss out on. The Dusit Zoo is the largest in the country and shelters animals such as penguins, tigers, lions, monkeys and alligators. Inside the park, there is a museum you can pop into as well.
If there's one thing Bangkok is famous for – that is its dazzling nightlife. You are in Bangkok and haven't gone out dancing? You must be setting a new precedent if you haven't. The cocktail bars, rooftop bars and nightclubs are absolutely enticing. What you have enjoyed before is nothing compared to the party scene at Khao San Road.
Bangkok's many attractions include its dazzling temples. With 31,000 temples scattered all over, Bangkok becomes a glittering cultural cornerstone in the evenings. Edged over the bank of Chao Phraya is the Wat Arun decorated by coloured porcelain and ceramic tiles, Wat Arun becomes a shimmering spectacle during night-time which is something you must see.
