BangkokOverview

Chaotic, carnal and congested, Thailand's capital is divided by the Chao Phraya River and is nestled in oneof the world's most fertile rice-producing deltas. Bangkok's 579 square miles (1,500 sq km) are criss-crossed by a series of canals carrying passengers and cargo, its roads clotted with endless traffic jams,while the city sprawls in all directions with a hodgepodge of urban, commercial and industrial buildings. Anew overland metropolitan railway speeds above the city, providing visitors with a relaxed and efficientway to observe the hustle and bustle below.

Despite its pollution and overcrowding, Bangkok is undoubtedly one of Asia's most exciting cities, and oneof the world's largest, promising to reveal to each traveller the wild and untamed mysteries of the east.Khao San Road is one of the city's most vibrant streets, and is probably one of the best examples in theworld of a backpacker's 'ghetto'. Day and night the short stretch of road is abuzz with activity. On thebanks of the Chao Phraya visitors will find the Grand Palace as well as Wat Phra Kaew, the palace templehousing the Emerald Buddha, constructed entirely from translucent green jade. Slightly upriver are theexquisitely ornamented Royal Barges, still used today for special floating processions.

Of the 30 or so temples in Bangkok, the largest is the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, which houses animpressive statue of the deity. The famous Floating Market is a delight to visitors and well worth a visit. Asthe sun lurches towards the horizon in the west and the sweat cools, this city of royalty and religion comesalive with a palpable decadence. Music and dazzling neon advertise a miasma of trendy bars andnightclubs, as well as the notorious 'girlie joints' that have ensured the Patpong district its reputation forhedonism.

Though the city's frenetic pace and infamous congestion can be overwhelming, a holiday in Bangkok is amust for anyone travelling in Thailand.

Places to Visit

Sightseeing

The most visited attractions in Bangkok expose visitors to Thailand's fascinating history, despiteBangkok's relatively recent construction as a city. The most impressive of these is the enormous andextremely ornate Grand Palace, and the adjacent Temple of the Reclining Buddha. Numerous templesspread over older districts near Chao Phraya River, making up an inexhaustible number of interestingvisits, each one with a unique religious significance.

Attractions in Bangkok aren't all serene sights as the city also holds a vibrant and flashy appeal. Amongthe most fun of attractions is watching a Muay Thai boxing fight; put some money down to increase thethrills. Bustling markets, which sell literally almost everything, can be wandered for a full day, especiallythe giant Chatuchak weekend market.

The unique character of Bangkok neighbourhoods encompass many small treasures. Both Khao San road inBanglamphu district and alleys off of Sukhumvit are attractions in themselves. The first is a backpacker'sDisneyland, and the second an expat playground famous for its debauchery. Little Arabia, a middle-easterndistrict, is also a unique and fun place to explore. Hiring a river cruise is the only real tour of the city,although only a few attractions are visited.

Damnoen Saduak Floating Market

Region/City:BangkokThe Damnoen Saduak Floating Market is an escape from the Western-style shopping malls of Bangkok anda glimpse into the past, revealing the centuries-old way of life of the residents whose stilt-houses perch onthe canals and make their living selling fruits, vegetables and flowers. Visitors can explore the market withboat trips and sample the wares of local farmers as they do so. They can also enjoy the experience of




floating through one of Thailand's many river villages.

Royal Grand Palace

Region/City:BangkokThe Royal Grand Palace is a popular Bangkok attraction. Construction of the palace began in 1782 and wascompleted in time for the coronation of King Rama I, and opened in 1785 to signify the end of the Burmeseinvasion of Thailand. The palace itself is made up of a complex array of smaller buildings, most notablythe Wat Mahatat (the Palace Temple) and the Wat Phra Keow (the Royal Chapel), which houses the famousEmerald Buddha sculpted from a single piece of jade, one of the most revered objects in Thailand.

Royal Barges National Museum

Region/City:BangkokThe Royal Barges National Museum houses several decorative royal barges, the earliest of which datesback to 1357. Most of the barges served as War Vessels at one point, and were subsequently used onroyal or state occasions on the Chao Phraya River. Due to their age, the barges are now rarely used, buttheir intricate designs reflecting Thai religious beliefs and local history are of great importance to thecountry's heritage. The barges were last used at the end of 1999 to celebrate the king's 72nd birthday.

Temple of the Reclining Buddha (Wat Pho)

Region/City:BangkokSituated adjacent to the Royal Grand Palace, Wat Pho is Bangkok's oldest, largest and most famoustemple, recognised by the UNESCO Memory of the World Programme. The grounds of Wat Pho containover 1,000 statues of Buddha, and the temple houses one of Thailand's most spectacular sights, theReclining Buddha: a 157-foot (48m) long and 49-foot (15m) high statue that is gold-plated and inlaid withMother-of-Pearl on the soles of its feet. In the 19th century King Rama III turned Wat Pho into a centre oflearning and is considered the birthplace of the traditional Thai massage. Visitors today can still have amassage and learn about the ancient art of Thai Medicine.

Jim Thompson’s House

Region/City:BangkokAmerican silk entrepreneur Jim Thompson deserves most of the credit for the current popularity of Thaisilk around the world. Having travelled to Bangkok with the US Army in World War II, Thompson was struckby the beauty of Thai silk and began marketing it to US buyers in 1948, establishing the Thai SilkCompany Limited. His fame increased when, in 1967, Thompson disappeared in the Cameron Highlands ofMalaysia under mysterious circumstances. He has never been heard of since. The house itself is anexcellent example of Thai residential architecture, and inside is a display of his Oriental art and antiquecollection, as well as an array of his personal belongings.

Kanchanaburi

Region/City:BangkokEighty miles (130km) west of Bangkok, the town of Kanchanaburi has secured its position of infamy as theoriginal site of the Bridge Over The River Kwai, where during World War II allied prisoners of war were usedby the Japanese to build the Death Railway, killing thousands in the process. With its modern hotels andwelcoming air, Kanchanaburi seems an unlikely setting, but the bridge is still in use and the graves of theAllied soldiers are testament to the town's unfortunate past. Worth a visit is the JEATH (Japan, England,Australia/America, Thailand and Holland) War Museum in Kanchanaburi, which recounts experiences in theJapanese POW camps during the War. The Sai Yok Yai Waterfall in the Sai Yok National Park is a place ofidyllic beauty and makes a good excursion from Kanchanaburi; the falls are widely celebrated in Thaipoetry and songs. The turquoise waters of Erawan Falls are also reachable from Kanchanaburi as aninteresting day trip.

Koh Samet

Region/City:BangkokThe T-shaped island of Koh Samet is within easy distance of mainland Thailand, and at only 124 miles(200km) from Bangkok a great weekend excursion to get out of the city. A popular island for bothforeigners and locals on holiday in Thailand, Koh Samet is a small island known for its white sandy beaches




and crystal-clear waters.Koh Samet has just one (rather bumpy) main road, and getting around the island isaccomplished either by songthaew (a pick-up truck-style taxi), or by hiring a motorcycle or ATV. This waytourists can visit the stunning beaches on Koh Samet, including the busy Hat Sai Kaew, quiet Ao Hin Khok,and romantic Ao Wai.Most of the activity is centred on Hat Sai Kaew, where holidaymakers can enjoyactivities like swimming, windsurfing, jet-skiing, yachting or just sunbathing. There are also nightlyfire-twirling shows at 6pm and 10:30pm. The tourist centre of Koh Samet, tourists can also enjoy excellentThai seafood restaurants and lively bars, and take classes in Muay Thai boxing or fire-spinning.

Temple of the Golden Buddha (Wat Traimit)

Region/City:BangkokDating back to the 13th century, Wat Traimit stands nearly 10 feet (3m) tall, weighs over five tons and isbelieved to be solid cast gold, the largest gold statue in the world. It was discovered by accident in 1957when an old stucco image was dropped by a crane, shattering the plaster shell to reveal the brilliantlyshining gold underneath. The statue is breathtaking and is thought to have come from Ayutthaya coveredin plaster to hide it from the Burmese invaders.

Bangkok National Museum

Region/City:BangkokOriginally built in 1782, the Bangkok National Museum is located within the grounds of the Royal Palace,just a 15-minute walk from the palace of the Emerald Buddha, and displays thousands of artefacts rangingall the way from Neolithic times to present day. It is known as Thailand's central treasury of art andarchaeology. Many of the actual buildings are works of art themselves, surrounded by brightly-colouredpavilions and boasting some of Southeast Asia's most ornate jewellery and historical treasures. A visit tothe museum is a must for anyone who wants a better understanding of Thailand's rich culture and history.Guided tours are conducted daily on topics including religion, art and culture.

Wat Suthat and the Giant Swing

Region/City:BangkokWat Suthat is among the oldest and largest temples in Bangkok and is home to the beautiful 13th-centuryPhra Buddha Shakyamuni, a 25-foot (8m) tall bronze Buddha image that was brought from Sukhothai andcontaining the ashes of Kind Rama VIII. It is also known for its exquisite wall paintings, done during thereign of Rama III. The enormous arch made of teak outside the wat is all that remains of an original swingwhich was used to celebrate and thank Shiva for a bountiful rice harvest. Teams of men would ride theswing on arcs as high as 82 feet (25m) into the air, grabbing at bags of silver coins with their teeth. Theswing ceremony was discontinued in 1932 due to countless injuries and deaths, but the thanksgivingfestival is still celebrated in mid-December after the rice harvest.

Wat Benchamabophit (The Marble Temple)

Region/City:BangkokWat Benchamabophit, also known as the Marble Temple, is constructed of white Carrara marble (even thecourtyard is paved with polished white marble) and is known as one of Bangkok's most beautiful temples.The temple's name literally means 'The Temple of the fifth King located nearby Dusit Palace'. Built ofItalian marble and designed by Prince Naris, a half-brother of the king, it is unique in that, unlike oldercomplexes, there is no wihaan or chedi dominating the grounds. The temple houses many Buddha imagesrepresenting various regional styles. Inside the ornate Ordination Hall (Ubosot) is a Sukhothai-style Buddhastatue named Phra Buddhajinaraja, and buried under this statue are the ashes of King Rama V. The sitealso contains the Benchamabophit National Museum.

Vimanmek Mansion Museum

Region/City:BangkokBuilt by King Rama V in 1901, the exquisite golden teakwood mansion, also known as Vimanmek Palace, islocated in the Dusit Palace complex. It was restored in 1982 for Bangkok's bicentennial and King Rama IXgranted permission to transform Vimanmek Mansion into a museum to commemorate King Rama V bydisplaying his photographs, personal art and handicrafts, and to serve as a showcase of the Thai nationalheritage. The informative hour-long tour takes visitors through a series of apartments and rooms, astaggering 81 in total, in what is said to be the largest teak building in the world. It is now a major tourist




attraction and a definite must for anyone visiting the intriguing city of Bangkok. Visitors to the VimanmekPalace are required to dress modestly, meaning men must wear long pants and women must wear skirts orpants below the knee and have their shoulders covered. Sarongs are available to hire if you need to coverup, but they occasionally run out.

Chatuchak Market

Region/City:BangkokThe Chatuchak Market (also known as the JJ Market) is said to be the largest flea market in the world.'Organised' along narrow grid lines under tin roofs, this enormous market is packed tight with all ofThailand's wares. Around 15,000 stalls are loosely categorised into clothing, crafts, food, and animalsections and it is easy to become disoriented quickly. Some of Thailand's illegally-traded animals are soldhere and vendors are quick to spot signs of oncoming raids. However, a host of legal but bizarre goods arealso traded; cock-fighting roosters, monkeys, fake designer gear and antiques are just the tip of theiceberg. The market is only open on the weekends from 8am to 6pm and on Fridays for wholesalers. It iseasily reached by the sky train from the Mo Chit station and by subway. Visitors should keep in mind theimport restrictions of their home countries when shopping at Chatuchak Market, and buy accordingly.

Muay Thai

Region/City:BangkokFight fans will get a kick out of Thailand's national sport Muay Thai. The matches can be best watched atthe Rajadamnern stadium but be warned, the prices for foreigners or farang are much more than local's.Usually fewer than 10 matches are arranged for a night but the brutality of the style means that some ofthese result in quick knockouts. The events are a mix of traditional Thai music and traditional pre-matchcustoms before the hard hitting fight that utilises elbows, knees, fists, and shins to knock out theopponent. Several types of tickets are available, the more expensive fight floor, and the more rowdyinformal gambling area on the second tier. Tourists should watch their hand movements as they can beinterpreted as willingness to bet. Fights can be seen on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundaysin the evening. Lumpini Park also showcases fights to a more touristy audience.

Tiger Temple

Region/City:BangkokA once in a (possibly short) lifetime chance to pet tigers can be arranged from the travel agencies inKhaosan in Bangkok or from nearby Kanchanaburi. Visitors are guided to a large dirt quarry where severalgrown tigers and a host of cubs lie relaxing along with several monks and guides. Visitors, separated by athin single chain, are led past, one at a time, to sit with and pet the tigers. Rumour has it that the tigers aregiven sedatives although some argue they are under the meditational spell of the monks or just used tohumans. None of it is apparently enough to guarantee safety as an occasional mauling has been known tohappen, however the experience is definitely unforgettable.

Lopburi Monkey Temple

Region/City:BangkokAn easy day trip out of Bangkok is the two and half hour, 100-mile (150km), train ride to the MonkeyTemple in the town of Lopburi. Legend has it the temple was founded by a fallen arrow of Hanuman, theHindu Monkey God. The animal kingdom hierarchy is reversed here as the temple gives the monkeys freeroam and food. Often novelty turns into nervousness as visitors are followed by crowds of the impoliteinhabitants. Visitors can buy packs of sunflower seeds for THB 10 to feed the monkeys, but keep watchof loose items like glasses, purses, and especially food as the monkeys are keen pickpockets and theybite. November is the Monkey Festival in Lopburi but it is interesting to visit year-round.

Ayutthaya

Region/City:BangkokAyutthaya is the former capital of Siam, from 1350 until mid-18th century, and at one time was one of thelargest cities in the world. The capital was relocated to Bangkok in 1768 when the Burmese army destroyedmuch of Ayutthaya. Today tourists needn't imagine too much to experience splendour of the old capital asmany of the enormous structures are still there, and the ruins of Ayutthaya have been designated aUNESCO World Heritage Site. Multiple buses (a trip that takes a bit over an hour) and trains arrive daily




from Bangkok and a boat up the Chao Phraya River to Ayutthaya can be organised through travelagencies. Although many organised tours in Thailand can be a frustrating experience, a tour guide here cangive some fascinating history to the already impressive wats. This is an easy way to experience some ofthe ancient history of Siam as Bangkok is relatively new.

Bangkok Children’s Discovery Museum

Region/City:BangkokFeaturing eight different sections, the Children's Discovery Museum in Bangkok encourages hands-onexperience in science, nature, culture and society. Featuring galleries themed Body and Mind, Culture andSociety, and Technology, children can learn about a multitude of sciences in an interesting and enjoyableway.
