Must do guide to Bangkok
Getting to know the City of Angels
Bangkok has retained its popularity over the years for a reason and that is its unique appeal which invites tourists to savour the harmonious blend of the modern world and the traditional Thai culture. There are many Bangkok resorts that allow easy access to all that the city has to offer.
Bangkok provides space to enjoy many things like exotic dishes, adventurous drinks, shopping sprees, an exciting nightlife as well as time to visit the sombre architectural wonders such as the Ayutthaya temples. If you’re fond of living near waterways and need easy access to all these things to do, you can book a place such as Anantara Riverside Bangkok Resort.
You could make your visit to the Ayutthaya temples; a day trip to truly absorb the beauty of Thai culture and architecture. And if you would like to leave the busy life of central Bangkok, escape into the Khao Yai National Park where you can even ride an elephant. On the way to the park, you will be able to make use of the chance to learn how to cook a traditional Thai farm meal and eat the delicious food that you helped to prepare. Take a ride along the pleasing paddy fields on an ox cart and sample juicy red rambutan and sweet mangoes.
Apart from the bustling, fun-filled club hopping you can enjoy at night, there is a chance to see the city from a different perspective as you cruise across the Bangkok River on a luxury cruise. The view from the cruise will be breathtaking with glimpses of the romantic Grand Palace, Wat Arun and the Bangkok skyline making your ride worthwhile.
You could finish off your trip with a bit of retail therapy at the ‘Central World’ shopping centre which features over 500 shops, many restaurants, deluxe cinemas and a kid’s area.
