Things to do in BangkokThe most visited attractions in Bangkok expose visitors to
Thailand''s fascinating history despite Bangkok''s relatively recent
construction as a city. The most impressive of these is the
enormous and extremely ornate Grand Palace, and the adjacent Temple
of the Reclining Buddha. Numerous temples spread over older
districts near Chao Phraya River, making up an inexhaustible number
of interesting visits, each one uniquely religiously
significant. Attractions in Bangkok aren''t all serene sights as the city has
also holds a vibrant and flashy appeal. Among the most fun of
attractions is watching a Muay Thai boxing fight; put some money
down to increase the thrills. Bustling markets, which sell
literally almost everything, can be wandered for a full day,
especially the giant Chatuchak weekend market. The unique character of Bangkok neighbourhoods encompass many
small treasures. Both Khao San road in Banglamphu district and
alleys off of Sukhumvit are attractions in themselves. The first is
a backpacker''s Disneyland, and the second an expat playground
famous for its debauchery. Little Arabia, a middle-eastern
district, is also a unique and fun place to explore. Hiring a river
cruise is the only real tour of the city, although only a few
attractions are visited. |
