Touring the City of Bangkok

Explore Bangkok at its finest. The capital of Thailand is nothing short of mesmerising sites, temples of religious significance, shopping and thrilling activities. Here are some of the mandatory checklist tours to include in your Bangkok getaway. 

The Religious and Historical Site Visits

Your religious and historical site tour will be a mere 25-minute ride from most Sukhumvit hotels in Bangkok. Therefore, the ride to Wat Pho, The Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew from Anantara Siam Bangkok Hotel will be over before you know it. The iconic spiritual sites, Wat Pho and Wat Phra are home to a reclining Buddha and an emerald Buddha, respectively. The visit to The Grand Palace, a historical and cultural landmark of the highest regard will be the cherry on top of the cake. 

Shopping at the Floating Market

While the full tour may take up to six hours in total, the visual vibrancy of the longboats contesting for their spot is quite the sight. These boats are often piled with fresh fruits and vegetables for the day-to-day use of locals. Damnoen Saduak however is the most popular out of the floating markets and will offer a delightful experience for the onlookers. 

A River Cruise

What better way to explore the colourful city of Bangkok than to hop on a cruise and float away? If you are a history geek who would appreciate a peek into the region’s past, the Ayutthaya River Cruise was made for you. Savour sights of ancient ruins right from the comfort of the cruise. However, if you fancy night rides down the river, a dinner cruise is what you may be looking for. 

Step into a Dreamworld

A tour to Dreamworld is ideally a family affair. Step into a land of enchantment and blinding lights that tour you to places beyond imagination. This amusement park offers an assortment of delightful experiences for children and adults alike. From exciting rides to shows, these 4 dreamlands are perched on a landscape of castles, pools and linked paths.
