Silom in Bangkok has something to offer for every kind of traveller. Here are a few things you definitely must not miss while you are on holiday there.
Being a wild and usually busy city, you will be shocked to find that there is a huge natural space in the middle of all this crowd. If you are new to Bangkok it is very easy to get overwhelmed with the noise of the city. If you want a place to relax away from all this and also want to know of the most popular things to do in Bangkok, Thailand then a visit to Lumpini park is needed. You can always head back to your accommodation the likes of Anantara Sathorn Bangkok Hotel and have some quiet time but, that still would not top time spent at this park. You will find a lot of people partaking in various activities during the evenings here. From family picnics to couples walking around and people working out vigorously, you will be able to people watch all evening at this park.
When you think of a farm, one would usually imagine stables, green pastures, and some friendly animals like pigs, horses, and goats. When you are in Bangkok you definitely must visit this house of snakes. This place puts on daily shows that will literally keep you at the edge of your seat as you will be watching the people working here handling and playing with the world’s deadliest creatures. These shows usually begin at 11:00 a.m. during the weekends and at 2:00 p.m. on the other days. The snakes here are treated splendidly and are not harmed in any way. The venom that is taken from these animals is used to treat snakebite victims all over the country.
One cannot leave Bangkok without trying what the streets of Bangkok have to offer in terms of local cuisine. One of the main reasons people love this city is for its food. You will be able to find exotic and delicious dishes that are authentic to Thailand and if you are craving for some home tasting food you will also be able to find places that serve international dishes.
This is one of the most majestic and religious places you will see in all your life. If you want to experience true Indian architecture while in Bangkok this temple is a must-visit. Depending on the season you are travelling to Bangkok in you will find that there are various festivals and religious rituals happening here.
Nightlife in Bangkok is one of the most popular things it is known for and leaving the city without experiencing this would be a shame indeed. You will find many chic and exclusive rooftop bars in Bangkok. If you are in the mood to spend quite a lot of cash on your night out you can opt for one of the luxury hotels and its rooftop bars but if you do not want to spend that much in just one night while you are in Bangkok, you will also be able to find various other cheaper options.
