As one of the most popular tourist attractions in the world, it should come as no surprise that Bangkok is bustling with tours and activities for you to take part in.

Taking the time to prepare your holiday in advance will ensure that you're able to maximise the time you spend here by enjoying some of the local culture, architecture and wildlife which has made Thailand so popular amongst international visitors.

Sightseeing

 If you're a fan of adventure then booking a tour-guide to go sightseeing in Bangkok is definitely the way to go. The convenience of having somebody pick you up and show you around the city is a fantastic way to familiarise yourself and gain a few stories to come home with.

Tours of the Grand Palace, Ayutthaya Ancient Capital and the Golden Buddha are all incredibly popular with tourists and definitely make for a sight to behold.

River Cruises

There's nothing more relaxing than floating down the river in the gorgeous country of Thailand. Chill out and feel the cool river wind breeze your hair, as the sun beats down on your face. If you're feeling romantic, why not catch a ride on the Chao Phraya River cruise and dine in style. Alternatively, go on a temple tour and reconnect with your spiritual side.

Floating Markets

Accessing the floating markets can be best accomplished by booking a river cruise. The many floating markets in Bangkok make this definitely a worthwhile experience and it's a fantastic way to immerse yourself in the local culture and tradition. Snag yourself some fresh fruit at ludicrous prices and return to your hotel having seen one of the facets that makes Bangkok just so special.
