When planning a trip to Thailand, you may be surprised at the sheer quantity of things to do.

It’s a city of true beauty and culture and guarantees an enriching stay no matter the number of people, their dispositions, or even age.
Wat Arun
Also known as the “Temple of the Dawn”, Wat Arun is the most stunning temple in the city. It’s situated on the banks of the Chao Phraya River, nestled amongst picture-perfect sunsets and an architecture anyone can appreciate. A great place to visit solo, or with others.
Chatuchak Weekend Market
Bangkok city is a place where there are very many things to do. As the hustle of the city continues daily, visitors can find the Chatuchak Weekend Market for their souvenir and collectable needs – and way more than they’ve bargained for. Prepare to be spoiled for choice amongst the myriad stalls and stores of this vibrant zone.
Madame Tussauds
Although not a traditional Thai implementation – it’s no less memorable. As tourists scour the internet for potential activities and Bangkok hotel deals, they may be interested to find that the world-famous wax museum exists in the city, allowing you to have your fantasy photo with your favourite celebrity. It’ll surely make for an entertaining evening!
Chao Phraya River
An integral part of Bangkok’s waterways, this river flows south toward the Gulf of Thailand while hosting experiences enchanting and divine. The elegant dinner cruises and dazzling ferry rides set against the backdrop of the charming Bangkok skyline make for a breathtakingly memorable experience, to be remembered in the years to come.
Erawan Museum
While Bangkok is host to many modern buildings and serviced apartments, such as those provided by Chatrium Hotels & Residencies, it’s also host to a long history and cultural tradition. The Erawan museum – whose gates are kept by a massive three-headed elephant statue – has exhibits comprised of priceless artefacts of a bygone age, a brilliant insight into ancient Thai culture.
