Last updated: 05.09.23
Have you booked your trip to Bangkok or maybe a layover in Bangkok and don’t know what to see? Maybe you’re already on your way and still haven’t researched the destination. I got you! Here in this quick guide I will share some inspiration of what to explore when you visit Bangkok and it only takes a few minutes to read!
4 Places to visit in Bangkok
So let’s skip all the talking and dig into what you want to know – inspiration to places to explore when you visit Bangkok in Thailand:
Two cultural places in Bangkok
The Grand Palace:
A complex of multiple buildings – The palace has been official residence of the king of Thailand (before Siam) since 1782.
Wat Pho:
One of the oldest and largest temples in Bangkok with a huge golden Buddha.
Two unique markets around Bangkok
Both markets are unique and located just outside Bangkok. You can rent a driver and do a day tour from Bangkok to visit both markets on the same day.
Maeklong Railway Market:
Maeklong Railway Market is an old market located along train tracks. The train drives by a couple of times a day, where all the sellers move their stuff quickly away from the track.
Damnoen Saduak Floating Market:
Damnoen Saduak Floating Market is a floating market where you go around in boats. You can buy from the small stands on the shores or from other boats.
A short note: There are two sides of Bangkok: The one you show your mother and the other you show your friends 😉
When we visited Bangkok we were visiting temples during the day and at night we were partying (celebrating Songkran*).
You have to decide what you will prioritize your time on: The cultural side, the party side or both.
*Songkran: The biggest water fight in the world! Songkran is Thai New Year and it’s celebrated with a water festival on the streets. If you visit Bangkok in April, you have to look up if you’re going at the same time as the celebration! If you do, I recommend you to join the fun activity.
Enjoy your stay in Bangkok!
