Bangkok, Thailand's capital city and possibly the world's traffic capital, is a fascinating, exciting, and remarkable city to visit. Bangkok, like many other capital cities, never sleeps; it really is a busy place as people work tirelessly in their various professions.
A trip to Wat Pho is a must for each and every visitor to Bangkok; it is the home of the Reclining Buddha, which stands fifteen meters tall and forty-six meters long, with feet measuring more than five meters. The entire statue is coated in gold leaf and looks absolutely amazing up close.
There are 108 bowls inside the temple, and coins for the bowls can be purchased on the way in. According to legend, Buddha managed to complete 108 positive steps on his way to perfection. While you're at the temple, you can also stop for a traditional Thai massage.
If you are staying at a place like Avani Atrium Bangkok and you are looking for dining in Bangkok after your excursion, then you are in luck!
The Grand Palace is the most well-known attraction among Bangkok's attractions. You certainly cannot move on to the next city until you have paid a visit to this one.
The palace was once the king's residence as well as the location of the Thai government's operations. A visit to the palace can take several hours due to its size of over 214,000 square meters. Be wary of potential scams outside of the palace and only expect to be paying the entrance fee if you intend to enter.
There is really only one method to get to and from Bangkok at any speed while remaining cool: board one of its sky trains. There really is no better way to travel than in air-conditioned carriages.
In most cases, you are elevated above the traffic below, providing a view of the city, but the train also takes the most direct path. With virtually all areas of Bangkok having a train station, getting around couldn't be easier.
This is a must-see if you enjoy shopping. If you despise shopping, you should avoid this establishment. One of the world's largest marketplaces, spanning 27 acres and housing over 8000 stalls, can be found here.
Attracting approximately 200,000 visitors a day, the market is open on Saturdays and Sundays and features a wide variety of goods at local rates rather than tourist prices. A map is highly recommended to avoid getting lost in the market for hours.
As you float down the river, you'll see luxurious high-rises and upscale resorts, as well as rustic shanties where local children are splashing around in the clear, cool water. To enhance your exploration of the city, you can get on then off at any of the ferries' stops.
