Travel Info we like to have the services of a tour operator who will take us around in two days. Travel Tips There literally hundreds of tour operators that can do what you are asking. Look up on the net. or try http://www.tourismthailand.org Two days is NOT enough time to see even the best places in Bangkok. Depends on what is your interests - culture/history? Shopping? Night life? Bangkok daily life? Sight seeing? This will decide your itinerary. Do some research on Bangkok first and then decide what you would like to do then contact the tour operator. Others I would suggest visiting "Phuket" and "Koh Samui" which is outside of Bangkok, beautiful beaches and lovely resorts. There isn't much to do in Bangkok itself, except for shopping & eating. For guide,contact at the hotel you check in,welcome.. Grand Palace is very beautiful Thai historic places Tel: 222-0094, 222-6889, 222-2208) This city landmark contains several buildings with highly detailed architectural features.

Bangkok's National Museum houses a vast collection of artifacts found in all parts of the country ranging from Neolithic times, Sukhothai, Ayutthaya to the Bangkok period. The complex, once used as a palace, consists of several old but beautiful buildings of colourful Thai architectural design.

Wat Arun Located on Thon Buri side (or the west bank of the chao Phraya River), the temple can be reached either by Arun Amarin Road or by boat from Tha Tien Pier, near Wat Pho. The most attractive structure in this temple is the 79-metre-high pagoda or "Phra Prang", which is decorated with ceramic tiles and fragments of multi-cikiyred oircekaub. Wat Arun was restored during the brief Thonburi period to be the Royal Chapel of King Taksin. It is called the "Temple of the Dawn", and the most beautiful view of it is from the east side of the river at sunset. China Town Bangkok's China Town is an old business centre covering a large area around Yaowarat and Charoen Krung Roads. There are many small streets and alleys full of shops selling all types of goods. The area is always lively and market stalls abound. It has been the main centre for trading by the Chinese since they were moved from their old site some 200 years ago. Nearby is Phahurat Market, one of the city's renowned cloth centres. Jim Thomson's Thai House Tel: 216-7368, 612-3744, 215-0122 This collection of traditional Thai-style houses, fashioned into one dwelling, belongs to the man who helped restore the Thai silk industry after World War II, and, today, preserved as a museum, contains a priceless collection of Asian objects art.

Floating Market Daily: 07:30 -12:30 The Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, situated 110 kms west of Bangkok, is a very attractive place for tourists to see the old style and traditional way of selling and buying fruits, vegetables, etc., from small boats. You will also see traditional Thai houses, the way they live and travel by boats.

It really depends on what you want to visit. Temples are very popular in Bangkok. Shopping is the best part!! You can visit the weekend market - chatuchak - or simply go to mbk. checkout www.tourismthailand.org for more details Make sure you make a visit to the DOME on top of Leboa tower. Perched on 56th floor you see bangkok from above with jazz music and lovely cocktail in hand. There's also a restaurant there called Sirocco. Make sure you book early to avoid disappointment. The meal's not cheap, but the view and atmosphere is worth the price. Otherwise, just go up and have a cocktail. You need to use a certified tour operator in Thailand by the Tourism Authority of Thailand. In this case, may I recommend you Regale International Travel (Formerly known as P&O Regale Travel). Contact the manager 'Zak' at <zak@regaleintl.com> at any time, he will be very happy to help you arrange your tour and time in Thailand. Dream World; Baiyoke Tower; Shopping at Patunan. |
