Street food is part of Bangkok’s culture. You will find stands on every street corner. Menus include soups, fried rice, skewered food, Pad Thai, fresh fruit, and much more. For just a few bahts, you can enjoy inexpensive, tasty cuisine and get your teeth into urban life while sharing a moment with the locals.

After all your outings, you will definitely need some relaxation. Go to one of the city’s many massage parlours and experience an invigorating traditional Thai massage. Influenced by Buddhism, the Thai massage incorporates elements of both yoga and meditation. This massage helps to relax muscles and relieve sleep disorders and nervous tension.

These small customised vehicles are a real institution in Bangkok. They are fun to take and form part of the true Thai adventure. A cross between a van and a moped, tuk-tuks move at lightning speed as they zig-zag through the city’s dense traffic. Hold on tight and enjoy the picturesque ride aboard this cheap and highly practical means of transport.

Bangkok, like the rest of Thailand, is home to a huge number of Buddhist temples (almost 400) that are all unique. Do not leave without visiting the unmissable temples of Wat Po (Temple of the Reclining Buddha), Wat Phra Kaew (Temple of the Emerald) and Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn). Remember to follow the required dress code when visiting the temples !

Bangkok is home to several huge, ultra-modern shopping centres such as MBK, Central World Plaza, Terminal 21 and Siam Paragon. If you are looking for authenticity, go to Chatuchak market, the largest market in Thailand. You will find everything there (souvenirs, clothes, jewellery, gadgets and more). A good way to sharpen your bargaining skills, which is a must in Thailand !
