Things to do in Bangkok

Visit The Grand Palace

There is no doubt that among all the places to visit in Bangkok, the Grand Palace is the most famous.

In the past, the palace served both as the king’s residence and the location where the Thai government operated.

Ride The Sky Train

When it comes to getting around Bangkok while keeping cool, the sky train is a perfect option. Traveling in air-conditioned carriages often high above the traffic below, you will have a panoramic view of the city, as well as taking the most direct route.

The sky train makes your adventure in Bangkok very simple, most locations in Bangkok have a train stops nearby.

Take A Boat Trip Along The Chao Phraya River

Bangkok is sometimes called the ‘Venice of the East’ because of the river Chai Phraya and the canals that flow off it.

Even today, 50,000 people take one of the many ferries up and down the river to go to work.

Eat Out In Chinatown

As with every major city, Bangkok has its own Chinatown. Packed full of street stalls and restaurants the choice of places to eat are endless.

Nowhere else in Bangkok will you have the option so so many different kinds of Chinese food as you can here, especially at such good prices.

Go For A Drink On Top Of The City

Bangkok has plenty of places where you can go for a drink at the end of the day, but nowhere will be able to beat the view of Bangkok observed from the Vertigo and Moon bar.

The Banyan Tree hotel is located on the 61st floor. The rooftop is designed in such a way so that you get a 360° view of the city.

This is not the place to be if you’re afraid of heights.

Watch Kickboxing (Muay Thai)

Thailand has many kickboxing stadiums, but the biggest fights take place in Bangkok, normally at Lumpini or Ratchadamnoen.

It’s Thailand’s national sport, and it’s talked about everywhere.

An evening spent at the stadium is assured to be action packed.

The locals get so immersed in the fights that the atmosphere reaches fever pitch.

There is usually somebody walking around taking bets as well if that is of interest to you.

Have A Thai Massage

Whatever country you come from you almost certainly would have heard of Thai massages and maybe even have seen a Thai massage parlour in your local area.

But nowhere can you experience a traditional Thai massage done as well as you would in the country where it originated.

The experience of a Thai massage will give you a new lease of life whilst making you feel invigorated as well as balanced.

There are parlous absolutely everywhere, so it is worth doing your research to find a good one near your hotel.
