Must-visits in Bangkok

Wat Pho

วัดโพธิ์

---

My opinion :

Very pleasant in the late afternoon, just opposite to the Wat Phra Kaew, it is famous for its huge reclining Buddha.

Wat Arun

วัดอรุณ

---

My opinion :

or Temple of Dawn on the other side of the river in front of Wat Po. The crossing by tray boat is very cheap (3 bahts)

The klongs

คลอง

---

My opinion :

These small canals going through Bangkok take you rto a completly different setting : very quiet, rural, almost out of time. You really have the the impression of having left the city.

Wat Phra Kaew

วัดพระแก้ว

---

My opinion :

and its many buildings with gilding and refined decorations. No entry after 15:30 is possible. Try schedule the visit in the morning to be sure.

Great Palace

พระบรมมหาราชวัง

---

My opinion :

royal residence which is now used only for ceremonies. It is right next to Wat Phra Keo

Klong Lat Mayom Floating Market

ตลาดน้ำคลองลัดมะยม

---

My opinion :

This small floating market on the immediate outskirts of Bangkok is open on weekends only and is a nice place to visit to discover the life on the canals of the Thai capital city. Collective or private boat tours leave. I advise you to combine your visit with a tour on the klongs (canals).

Mahanakon Skywalk

---

My opinion :

At the top of the Mahanakhon Tower, on the 78th floor, culminating at over 300 meters, it offers the highest and most impressive view over the Thai capital city. Its part with its glass floor above the void is not for those who are subject to vertigo.
