From local delicacies like coconuts and tropical fruits, to clothes and accessories, you’ll find something for every budget. There are also several markets that offer handmade items made by locals that you can take home as a keepsake.
Visit the Grand Palace
The Jewel of Rattanakosin in the Kingdom of Siam, the Grand Palace is one of Bangkok’s most famous attractions. Built in 1782 under King Rama I, the palace was the official residence of the Kings of Thailand until the late 19th century when King Chulalongkorn moved the residence from the palace to the nearby Dusit Palace.
Get a Thai Massage
A traditional Thai massage is a unique form of body work that uses a combination of physical and energetic techniques. Thai massage is based on the traditional massage system of Ayurveda and is also influenced by Indian and Chinese systems. It is a great way to relax while experiencing the healing power of touch. Before beginning a massage session, you will be asked to disrobe and put a towel on your body to allow the therapist to work more freely.
Go on a Thai Temple Tour
Wat Phra Kaeo, or the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, is one of Thailand’s most popular temples. It is located in the historic city of Sukhothai, which is approximately two hours south of Bangkok by car. It is the largest temple in the city and is home to the famous Emerald Buddha statue. According to legend, the statue was actually carved from a single block of jade that fell from the sky during a thunderstorm!
