Our most recommended things to do in Bangkok

Bangkok's oldest quarter sits on the east bank of the Chao Phraya, where most first visits start. In one morning you can walk through the Grand Palace and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, see the reclining Buddha at Wat Pho and take the public ferry across to Wat Arun. In the evening the city changes pace: you can ride a tuk tuk through the old streets to taste street food in Chinatown, or spend two hours on the river over a buffet dinner while the temples and bridges light up.

Beyond the city, two day trips are popular. About 80 km to the north, the temple ruins of Ayutthaya, the old capital of Siam, are a UNESCO World Heritage Site; our day trip includes entrance fees and lunch. To the south-west you can ride the train through the Maeklong Railway Market and take a longtail boat at the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, either in a shared group or privately with hotel pickup.

A few practical notes. Temples and the Grand Palace ask you to cover your shoulders and knees, so pack long, light clothing. On our Grand Palace tour the entrance tickets are paid on the day, 500 baht for the palace alone. Our own local guides lead the tours in English, and the Ayutthaya trip also in German. Prices shown are estimates and are confirmed when you book.
