What tourists say about Bangkok?

Description : The culturally grandiose capital of Thailand, the City of Gods, also well know for its frantic night life or its irritating traffic jams.

Comments : Certainly, this is not Thailand's most pleasant place to stay but it is, overall, one of the most interesting locality of the Kingdom : great cultural attractions, small busy market streets and lots of culture shocks !

What you can do : Master your way around shops, hotels, movies' restaurants, travel agents & internet cafes / Take half a day and proper clothes to visit the magnificent Grand Palace / In the area, visit Temples and the largest National Museum in SE Asia / Take a Chao Phraya River boat to more temples, scenic river banks and no traffic jams / Visit a richly furnished traditional wooden Thai house / Explore Chinatown and its market streets / Climb a temple for a panoramic view of the busy city / Develop your general culture at Patpong red district / Watch more traditional type of Thai dances / Receive Thai massage and, when you know how good it is, learn it ! / Get wild at Thai boxing fights / Follow the advice and "say no" to any touts approaching you in the street / Watch sunset & aerobics lessons at the Fort / Wander around markets (the best being the WE market on Sat & Sund) /

What you may not like : Visiting too many jammed roads / The round-the-clock activity & accompanying noise / The sticky weather / Fighting your way among the crowd / The various scams (gems, card games, etc) / The expensive internet compared to other cities of Thailand / Being refused entrance to the Oriental Hotel because you wear short, sandals, Ti-shirt or have a backpack. Actually, a sign clearly says "no backpackers" (if you arrive by limousine, it should be no problem though) / The bill after you watched a go-go bar upstairs show / Paying too much for a taxi or Tuk-Tuk / The far-away bus stations /

How long ? At least three days to visit the main sights but 4 to 5 days would be more appropriate. “
