Planning a trip to Bangkok and wondering how to spend two days there? Check out this guide for ideas that give you a chance to experience some of the best the city has to offer.
The Adventure Begins
Begin your tour of the city by visiting one of its most famed attractions, the historical Grand Palace. Within easy reach of centrally located properties like Avani Atrium Bangkok, this sprawling complex is home to the revered Wat Phra Kaew or Temple of the Emerald Buddha as well. You will also come across various grand buildings, the Royal Reception Halls, statues, shrines and more.
More Exploring Awaits
Head to Wat Pho or Temple of the Reclining Buddha close to the Grand Palace, which features a reclining Buddha statue that’s around 150 feet in length! Also, consider taking a Chao Phraya River boat ride to see Wat Arun or the Temple of Dawn. Those based at hotels in Petchaburi Road, Bangkok, can easily explore the happening nightlife hotspot called Khao San Road for dining and drinks too.
New Escapades Beckon
Get in some shopping on day two of your trip which is easy to do when staying in or around the previously mentioned Petchaburi Road; from here, you can enjoy shopping sprees at popular malls in Bangkok like CentralWorld, Siam Paragon and MBK Centre. For something different, head to the Pratunam Market and if you’re visiting on Saturday or Sunday, don’t miss the huge Chatuchak Weekend Market.
But Wait, There’s More!
Set aside some time to also explore colourful Chinatown in an area known as Yaowarat Road; it’s a great place to stroll along and shop at lively markets (don’t forget to politely bargain!), savour delectable street food and visit attractions like Wat Traimit or the Temple of the Golden Buddha. As the day draws to a close, consider a Chao Phraya River dinner cruise or bar hopping and clubbing in Sukhumvit.
