Sawat di: kha: Khrung The:p (Bangkok)


Bangkok began as a small trading center and port community on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River some 200 years ago. Today, while the city is up to speed with modern times, the grandeur and glory of its illustrious past still prevails. Be it dazzling temples, spectacular palaces, a world-famous floating market or colorful Chinatown, each of these famous places has an intriguing story to tell. 

The Grand Palace

Wat Arun
The impressive silhouette of Wat Arun’s towering spires is one of the most recognized in Southeast Asia. Constructed during the first half of the 19th century in the ancient Khmer style, the stupa showcasing ornate floral pattern decked out in glazed porcelain is stunning up close. Apart from its beauty, Wat Arun symbolizes the birth of the Rattanakosin Period and the founding of the new capital after Ayutthaya fell.


Floating Market


The pioneer of all Floating Markets, Damnoen Saduak continues to offer an authentic experience despite its increasingly touristy atmosphere. Imagine dozens of wooden row boats floating by, each laden to the brim with farm-fresh fruits, vegetables or flowers. Food vendors fill their vessels with cauldrons and charcoal grills, ready to whip up a bowl of ‘boat noodle’ or seafood skewers upon request.






The National Museum

The National Museum claims to be the largest museum in South East Asia. It is the best place to find out some facts about the Thai culture, history and religion. An English tour of the museum last about 2 hours and it is available on Wednesdays and Thursdays. It is recommended to see the museum along with this tours, since there are large parts of the museum without information.



Besides those places, we able to visit various interesting places which are Chinatown(Yaowarat), Wat Pho, Chao Phraya River & Waterways, Chatuchak Weekend Market, Khao San Road and many more. Bangkok also been attracted who plans their honeymoon here.
