Top Places to Visit in Bangkok

1. The Grand Palace & Wat Phra Kaew
   Bangkok’s most iconic complex, home to the Temple of the Emerald Buddha. Expect intricate spires, gilded murals, and royal history. Dress modestly (shoulders and knees covered).
   Pro tip: Go early morning to beat the heat and crowds; add a certified guide for deeper stories.

2. Wat Pho (Reclining Buddha)
   Famous for the giant Reclining Buddha and Thailand’s traditional massage school. A perfect pairing with the Grand Palace.

3. Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn)
   A riverside stunner with porcelain-tiled prangs. Cross the Chao Phraya by ferry. Sunrise and sunset are magical here.

4. Chao Phraya River Cruise + Asiatique
   See Bangkok’s skyline and glittering temples from the water. Disembark at Asiatique for shopping, dining, and a Ferris-wheel view.

5. Chatuchak Weekend Market
   A megamarket with 15,000+ stalls: fashion, handicrafts, décor, plants, and street food. Go light, carry cash, stay hydrated, and map your sections.

6. Jim Thompson House
   A serene teakwood museum near Siam’s malls, celebrating Thai silk and elegant traditional architecture.

7. Mahanakhon SkyWalk (or a Rooftop Sky Bar)
   Glass-floor thrills and panoramic views at King Power Mahanakhon, or unwind at a famous sky bar like Lebua’s.

8. ICONSIAM & Siam Paragon
   Bangkok’s upscale shopping scene—designer brands, gourmet food courts, an indoor floating-market vibe at ICONSIAM, and family fun like aquariums.

9. Khao San Road & Old Town
   Backpacker energy, cafés, bars, and street snacks—close to major canals and temples for day sightseeing and fun evenings.

10. Lumpini Park
    Bangkok’s green escape for morning jogs, lake views, and a calm pause between city adventures.
