Bangkok Highlights

Seeing a city from another perspective and knowing its highlights are the best ways to discover it.

1. Street Food

There has never been a more robust market for street food in Thailand than now, as most Thais prefer to eat out instead of cooking at home. On every busy road, street food vendors sell their products to tourists and locals alike. As you might already know, there is so much more to street food than Pad Thai. From Som Tam (papaya salad) to Squid, you will find stalls selling a variety of food that can be consumed immediately.

2. Shopping in Bangkok

Are you planning to do some shopping while you're in Bangkok? What a great idea! For modern and trendy shopping centers, head to the Siam district. Electronics and clothing can both be found at the MBK Center. In addition, souvenir shops are located in a bazaar-like section.

On the other hand, the Siam Paragon is chicer and has a lot of luxury boutiques. South Asia's largest mall, CentralWorld, is also nearby. During the day and into the evening, they are open. Thai and international dishes are available in their food courts.

3. Attend a Boxing Match

Consider attending a Muay Thai match while you're in Bangkok. As Thailand's national sport, it was inspired by the combat training of Thai soldiers. Muay Thai is a form of art, more than just a fight. A sort of simulated combat is practiced during the warm-up, called the boxing dance. A rhythmic rhythm is also adapted to the moves and blows of the fighters during fights. Whether you're a boxing fan or not, attending a match in Bangkok is a must. It is important to note that Lumpinee Stadium and Rajadamnern Stadium are the two most important Muay Thai stadiums.

4. Take a Muay Thai Lesson

There is no doubt that Muay Thai is one of the most famous martial arts in the world. A combat sport is called "Thai boxing" because shins, knees, elbows, and fists are combined in combinations to combat. People who practice the art devote themselves to it because it is a complicated and challenging sport. If you're coming to Bangkok, you can learn from those who have mastered the sport. Thailand offers Muay Thai training in many gyms, but especially in Bangkok. There are many stadiums, gyms, and gear options for May Thai fans here. Gyms for beginners are also available.

Interesting Spots to Visit

Whatever you are looking for during your visit to Bangkok, you will find many activities to enjoy during your stay, whether it be visiting the Grand Palace, the most beautiful temples, shopping in the modern part of the city, or visiting a floating market. Below are some places you can visit during your cruise to/from Bangkok.

1. Wat Arun

While in Bangkok, you should also visit Wat Arun. It lies across the river from Wat Pho and the Grand Palace. Boat shuttles (4 baht) drop you off outside the entrance for your convenience. An 82-meter tall prang (tower) in Wat Arun is completely covered in tiny pieces of colorful porcelain. The Prang is encircled by four smaller ones encrusted with mosaics. It is truly worth a visit to this recently renovated location. In the evening, you can view it illuminated from the other side of the river if you have the chance.

2. Chatuchak Weekend Market

It's a must to visit Chatuchak Market if you're in Bangkok at the weekend (it has more than 15,000 stalls). Upon entering, a map is given to you so you can find your way around. The market has many sections, including clothes, shoes, jewelry, souvenirs, and more! Food also occupies a large portion of the site, as you might imagine. Your Sunday in Bangkok is solved if you have no idea what to do! It's a super busy place, and you won't be the only one with the same idea. There is a large park nearby that you can visit to relax for a while. Thais are a popular place to picnic by the lakeside with their family and friends. During the week (not on the weekend), you can find the various products sold at Chatuchak market by walking along the commercial streets or shopping in the shopping centers.

3. Khao San Road

Khao San Road is a must-see on any Bangkok trip! Along with the Grand Palace and Wat Pho, this street is a major tourist attraction in the city. Backpackers used to frequent this area for cheap accommodations a few years ago. The site is becoming increasingly touristic, with Khao San road becoming one of the city's most cosmopolitan neighborhoods. Bars and restaurants are the places where everyone hangs out in the evenings. You can still find many low-cost hotels in this neighborhood, but it's not the most peaceful place to sleep in Bangkok.

4. Ayutthaya

One hour's drive from Bangkok brings you to the historic city of Ayutthaya. Siam features many temples in its ancient capital, a UNESCO World Heritage Site today. You should take this day trip if you only have time for one day trip from Bangkok! Ayutthaya is accessible by buses and trains every day. An organized day trip is also available if you don't want to manage the trip yourself. Buses depart from Bangkok for the journey. Ayutthaya's main temples will be visited during the day, and you will be returned to Bangkok by boat at night. The scenery will take your breath away!
