Bangkok - Southeast Asia's shopping and entertainment paradise

If you are in the prime of your youth with the energy of “travel” flowing through your veins, by all means travel to Thailand and let yourself get lost in the heart of Bangkok. It is hard to find a second Bangkok, where you can both calm your mind in the sacred space of temples, shop freely in bustling shopping centers and cheap markets, or party hard when night falls on the party streets. The best time to travel to Bangkok is from November to April every year when many vibrant festivals take place.

Beauty scene

1. The Royal Palace of Thailand & Wat Phra Kaew: These are two iconic landmarks of Bangkok tourism, located right next to each other, convenient for tourists to visit. At first glance, the Royal Palace of Thailand exudes a majestic and solemn appearance, but if you study carefully, you will see that the architecture here is also a synthesis of the quintessence of China, France, Italy and ancient Thailand, worthy of a century-old construction. Next to the palace is the Temple of the Emerald Buddha with the jade Buddha statue - a treasure that brings a prosperous and prosperous life to the country. Note that when visiting these two landmarks, visitors should wear long and polite clothes appropriate for sacred places.

2. Temple of Dawn (Wat Arun): Wat Arun is known as the most beautiful temple among the beautiful temples in Bangkok. The temple is located on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River, with a majestic architecture of more than 70m high, surrounded by many small pieces of stained glass and ceramics. Although named Temple of Dawn, Wat Arun is famous for its breathtaking sunset view due to its prime location. Visitors can combine the experience of watching the sunset at the temple with a cruise on the Chao Phraya River to fully experience the brilliant sunset of Bangkok.

Cuisine

If you travel to Bangkok, you definitely have to explore the street food here to experience the most typical flavors of the Land of Golden Temples.

The most basic menu for a culinary experience in Bangkok is the trio of tom yum, pad thai and mango sticky rice. This is a “set menu” that cannot be missed when exploring Bangkok cuisine in particular and Thailand in general, even if you only stay here for an hour to transit at the airport.

Or if you decide to plan a culinary “food tour” in Bangkok, choose Khao San Road as the ideal destination to fill your stomach and satisfy your taste buds. Khao San is especially bustling and noisy at night, a gathering place for street foods from familiar to strange such as crispy fried insects. A typical flavor for Thai taste is the spicy taste in Thai hot pot, tom yum, som tam, curry... In addition, visitors can experience all these dishes at other locations (for example Banglamphu market, Soi 38 Sukhumvit area,...) to fully feel the flavors that can only be enjoyed in Thailand.

Work

Besides sightseeing at cultural heritage sites and temples, the experience that everyone will definitely look forward to when having fun in Bangkok is shopping at the complexes or weekend markets.

The most famous is Siam – a complex of many large shopping centers such as Central World, Siam Paragon, Siam Center, Siam Discovery and MBK. Visitors can walk to move through the locations, freely admire and choose to shop with a variety of items, converging all brands big and small.

There is one place that tourists certainly do not want to miss, which is Chatuchak Weekend Market - the largest market in Thailand where "everything is available". Strolling around to choose the items you like, in addition to immersing yourself in the unique bustling atmosphere of the market in a foreign land, you will surely also gain the skill of bargaining with the random prices offered by the traders here.
