The exciting sights, sounds, and scents of the lively Southeast Asian city of Bangkok is a true treat to discover and explore. Ensure you book one of the Bangkok serviced apartments in a central location for easy access to all attractions, and the Ascott Sathorn Bangkok features some of the finest serviced apartments Bangkok has to offer. Dive straight into the elaborate Wats or temples that adorn seemingly every corner of this vibrant city, with the Wat Pho, Wat Arun, and the Wat Pra Kaew being the most famous. Bangkok is also renowned for its cheap and extensive bargain shopping, and the Chatuchek market is a great place to start at, where you can find anything and everything under the sun at great prices, so brush on up your bargaining skills! When you’re feeling hungry, snack on any of the delicious street foods that are sure to tempt you on aroma alone. Sizzling satay on a grill accompanied by sweet peanut sauce, hearty noodle broth, or rich, creamy egg (custard) tarts; your diet is all but doomed with these delectable delights. The beautiful Dusit district features grand palaces, lush lawns, and wide avenues that evoke the streets of Europe, a throwback to King Rama V who fashioned the area precisely for that reason. Khao San Road is considered a backpacker’s mecca, so head over here if you want a glimpse into bargain living and possibly meet people from back home! Or if you’ve got a relaxing afternoon, embark on a Chao Phraya River Cruise to witness idyllic river-side life whilst feasting on authentic Thai food and watching live cultural shows. Ask your hotel for more details about this and other cultural jewels that glitter and gleam on Bangkok’s landscape!
