Day Trip to Bangkok
What to do when there are less than 24 hours to spend
Bangkok is the beating heart of Thailand, the metropolitan that is a melting pot of cultures, nature, and people. As any Bangkok travel guide would state, it is not possible to see everything the city has to offer during one day trip. However, there are some essential things that you can do during a day trip if you have only one day to spend in Bangkok.
One of the key things that you must not miss during your visit is the religious side of Bangkok. There are many beautiful temples with their own glorious history that must be explored. Key temples to visit include Wat Trimitr, Wat Pho, the temple of the Golden Buddha, the temple of the Reclining Buddha, the Marble temple, and Wat Benchamabophit. The temple of the Golden Buddha is where the largest solid-gold Buddha statue in the world is located, thus it is a must that you visit the temple. In addition to the statues and the history, there is gorgeous architecture at the temples, each a reflection of the period it was built in. Once you are done with the temple tour, you can stop for a bit of lunch. As there is only one day to spend in Bangkok, it is recommended that you either go for a dining experience at a luxury hotel like Anantara Riverside Bangkok Resort or try street food. The latter, of course, you might find at your next destination, which is the floating market. While there are several floating markets, each and every one will give you an insight into the daily life of a working Thai. You will see the companionship, the local customs, and above all, the traditions and values of the people. Of course, you will be able to taste fresh produce and buy handmade arts and crafts as a memento of this journey at the markets as well.
