If you’re planning to book a holiday to Bangkok and not quite sure what exactly to do, Google usually helps, but then, it also gives you a incomprehensible list of possible things to do which leaves you overwhelmed and worrying about your time in the country and budget allowances. However, like with any country, there are a few major things you must visit. If you’re planning to stay at a Bangkok apartment hotel, you could find many in the city, such as Adelphi Forty- Nine.
Sukhumvit is one of the more visited neighbourhoods in the city and has a largely western influence as compared to Bangkok and some of the other cities in Thailand. From trendy bars, chic restaurants featuring various types of international cuisines and shopping malls that you can spend a whole day just walking through. Two of the more famous shopping malls are called Terminal 21 and Emporium. Emporium is a upmarket shopping complex which holds all the chic, expensive brands, while Terminal 21 takes the theme of an airport terminal. Each floor is named after a popular world city such as Paris, San Francisco and Istanbul.
If you’re looking for a museum to browse through to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and its crowded streets that are almost always buzzing with locals and tourists, head over to Kamthieng House Museum. This is a beautiful traditional 19th century teak house on stilts. The museum is somewhat smaller that one would expect but it’s definitely worth the visit. Some of the other popular museums to visit in the area are the Museum of Thai Pharmacy, National Science Center for Education and the Thailand Creative and Design Center.
Spend a quiet evening strolling through the Benchasiri Park, which is often referred to as Queen’s Park. This city park features a central pond with dancing water fountains that can be seen throughout the day.
