Things to do while in Bangkok
Bangkok, the largest city in Thailand, is rapidly converting itself into the pleasure capital of the world. The influx of tourists has increased multifold in the recent years and the primary reason for this boost is the openness of Thai people and their tendency to accommodate tourists. An effective brand campaign and efforts from the government & people combined have changed the image of the city as well as the country on the international front. If you are one of those people planning a trip to the city of Bangkok during the next vacation, here is an article you must read before catching flights to Bangkok.
You haven’t started your journey yet but one thing is keep on eating your mind, what will I bring back to gift my friends and family. If that is what on your mind, you need to visit Chatuchak Weekend Market in the city of Bangkok. This is among some of the largest markets in the world and a complete utility while buying gifts or any other thing. The market is divided into theme based segments where you can find almost everything from electronics items to baby squirrels. JJ, as it is commonly called among local people, is a good place to try Thai food as its numerous street vendors have different dishes to offer for people visiting the market. A visit to Chatuchak market is a must to do for every tourist visiting Bangkok.
“Be fed and be sheathed”, sounds funny huh?? It is the motto of one of the best restaurants in Bangkok, Cabbages & Condoms. Given the positioning of Bangkok in the international market, this restaurant conducts an outreach program for sex education and AIDS prevention along with serving one of the best foods in the country. Instead of receiving a mouth freshener after dinner, people get a packet of condom here. I think they know their customers well.
The other must go in Bangkok is the Mahboomkrong, a huge shopping mall in the heart of the city. This is the biggest mall in the country which will certainly remind you of shopping malls in Dubai or New York. This four storied shopping mall is a favorite weekend shopping destination for the whole city.
Jim Thompson’s house is an architectural marvel and a must see while visiting the city of Bangkok. Built in 1959 by an American trader, this is spread over a large jungle like area and a few wooden houses bought and then reconstructed by Jim Thompson.
The complete beauty of the city cannot be confined in the limits of this article but these are some of the things or places you must see while visiting the beautiful city of Bangkok. So plan your trip, book your cheap flights to Bangkok and get ready to be mesmerized.
