Wat Suthat Thepwararam Ratchaworamahawihan
@cinrtravels
Wat Suthat is a beautiful temple situated in the old city. As with any other Buddhist temple, the architecture is mesmerising and there are plenty of Buddha images to view.

The Grand Palace
@cinrtravels
The Grand Palace is as it sounds, very grand. Built in 1782, its purpose was for both royal duties and state occasions. For us tourists, its selling point is not just its grandeur but its impressive size, intricate murals and ostentatious style.

Wat Pho
@cinrtravels
Wat Pho is a short distance from The Grand Palace and at 200 baht you might as well give it a visit. This temple is notably known for housing thousands of Buddha images and an enormous reclining Buddha. Measuring 46 metres in length and 15 metres in height, this statue is spectacular.

Chatuchak Weekend Market
@cinrtravels
Chatuchak Weekend Market or 'The Maze’ as I like to call it, is the world's largest weekend market with over 15,000 stalls and roughly 200,000 people visiting per weekend. It would be an understatement to say this market is huge. It is so huge that you could spend a whole day exploring and still not see it all.

Asiatique The Riverfront
@cinrtravels
Asiatique is a night market and mall, and home to an array of restaurants. Situated on the riverfront with scenic views and a carnival atmosphere, this complex is a bit more pricey than traditional food court meals. Spending 1,483 baht this was a real treat for us.

China Town
@cinrtravels
Chinatown is bustling with food stalls, people and is home to one of Bangkok's many markets. With its tight alleys and hundreds of people, I would not recommend this to anyone with a fear of getting trampled on or has claustrophobia.

Benchakitti Park
@cinrtravels
Benchakitti Park is a public park that provides relief from the chaos of Bangkok life. You can spend a few hours enjoying the quiet, people watching and observing wildlife.

Terminal 21 Asok
@cinrtravels
Terminal 21 is a shopping mall resembling an airport where each level is themed with a popular city. Although the decorations do not transport you to London or Tokyo, it does a good job of creating this illusion.

Below is something that we missed in Bangkok, that may be of interest to you:

Khlong Lat Mayom Floating Market
@cinrtravels
Khlong Lat Mayom Floating Market is as the name states, a floating market. Well sort of. The market is positioned on the outskirts of the canal with a handful of boats offering services.
