Bangkok is an interesting juxtaposition of ancient heritage with the sophistication of a modern metropolis. See magnificent palaces like Grand Palace and Vimanmek Mansion and glittering Buddhist temples co-exist alongside contemporary hotels and towering skyscrapers. Bangkok takes great pride in its splendid temples, especially Wat Phra Kaeo (Temple of the Emerald Buddha), Wat Arun (Temple of the Dawn) and Wat Pho (Temple of the Reclining Buddha) located around the capital. Visiting Damnernsaduak Floating Market and cruising on Chao Phraya River are great ways to observe the local lifestyle close-up.
Hone your bargaining skills at Patpong Night Market, Suan Lum Night Bazaar or the famous Chatuchak Weekend Market where you can pick up traditional Thai handicrafts and trendy clothes among many others. It will be a good idea to bring an extra empty suitcase for all your purchases. Book a room at one of our Bangkok hotels and start shopping!
