What to do in Bangkok

Bangkok is everything all at once with a wealth of history, architecture and cuisine to absorb. One of the most famous sights is the Grand Palace, which remains a pilgrimage destination for devout Buddhists cuts a striking figure, and on its grounds you'll find the serene Temple of the Emerald Buddha. On a tour of the city, you can also visit world-renowned Jim Thomson's teak house, the gleaming Temple of Dawn and around 400 others, fascinating museums and markets that sell everything from fresh blooms to fabulous street food. Why not take a longtail boat ride down the Chao Phraya River for the best view of Bangkok and end off with a riverside cocktail?
