Places to visit in Bangkok

From the majestic Grand Palace to the neatly arranged night market stalls; from the rumble in the floating market to the crazy night life, Bangkok never ceases to amaze its visitors. The contrast is especially overwhelming when high flying Bangkok malls are situated next to age-old traditional villages, where water boats float past the slow moving traffic. A few hand-picked Bangkok attractions that you can include in your Bangkok trip are:

Grand Palace: The Grand Palace complex in the heart of Bangkok contains some of the most historic and sacred places that visitors on a Bangkok city tour should visit.

The Grand Palace is an essential part of any Bangkok city tour, especially for first-time visitors.

Wat Pho: The Wat Pho Temple adjacent to the Grand Palace is one of the oldest temples in the city and one of the most important places to visit in Bangkok. Also known as the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, the 18th century temple is famous for its 46m long gold-plated statue of the Buddha. This is one of the largest temples in Thailand, and also one of the most visited. The soles of the feet of the Reclining Buddha are inlaid with mother of pearl, showing the 108 characteristics of Buddha. The temple compound has a Bodhi Tree that is believed to be a descendant of the original Bodhi Tree of Gaya, under which Buddha had meditated before gaining enlightenment.
