“Bangkok is an amazing city, full of life and points of interest, that you can not miss on your trip to Thailand. I think two or three days will be the perfect time to stay there. It will be enough to visit the main temples, markets and other places like the floating market, using Khao San Road as your base. “
André VazWhat to do in Bangkok, the best attractions:
China Town
The food paradise in Bangkok, China Town is one of the great attractions of the city. Vibrant by day and night, it is invaded by those seeking shopping, food or visiting Chinese temples. For sure, if you go, you'll want to come back.
Wat Phra Kaew & Grand Palace
Wat Phra Kaew, also known as the Temple of the Emerald Buddha is one of those places you can not miss on your visit to Bangkok. In the same complex is inserted the former residence of the king of Thailand, the Grand Palace.
Wat Arun
Wat Arun is located on the west side of the Chao Phraya River and is very close to Wat Pho Temple. It is one of the most unusual temples in Bangkok and one of the most beautiful. This temple dates back to 1768 and was renamed, after its renovation, Wat Chaeng, "The Temple of Dawn".
Floating Market
Bangkok has some floating markets that you can visit on your trip. The best known is Damnoen Saduak, a place full of life and color, where you can find hundreds of boats selling food and fruit.

It can even be cheaper than tuk tuk, if you know how to negotiate. The minimum fare on a trip will be around 40 Bath. To move around the central perimeter of Bangkok, it should not exceed 200 Bath.

Nasci em 1982, cresci no Alentejo e, depois de 7 anos a viver em Coimbra, acabei por me estabelecer no Porto, onde vivo desde 2007.
Sou formado em filosofia mas, mais recentemente, estudei marketing digital. O que aprendi neste trajeto, aliado à paixão por viajar e pela partilha de experiências, motivou a criação e está na génese da Backpackers Bay. Um espaço onde vou partilhando as minhas experiências, algumas sugestões e dicas. Com o avançar do tempo espero conseguir cobrir todos os destinos que fui visitando, como a Tailândia, a Índia, o Cambodja, a Indonésia, a Tunísia, Marrocos, Espanha, França, Inglaterra, Suiça, Alemanha, Eslovénia, Grécia, Roménia, Bulgária, Turquia, entre outros, assim como aqueles que espero visitar no futuro.
Para além das viagens, sou um apaixonado por slackline. Aproveito para vos deixar um convite/desafio para conhecerem o meu outro blog: o All About Slackline e, quem sabe, para experimentarem a modalidade.
Boa Viagem…
