Have You Seen the Best of Bangkok?

As the capital of Thailand, Bangkok is filled with plenty of things to see and do. It is located in southern Thailand, and as such it benefits from warm temperatures that do not vary too much at any time of the year. That means it pays to make sure you have plenty of water with you as you explore; although, it is a good excuse to keep stopping to admire the view!

So which locations can you see in Bangkok? Well, the Grand Palace is a good start, and while not all of it is open for you to wander into, even the exterior is worth seeing. You can see the Coin Pavilion though, which gives you an insight into all kinds of coins used in the past.

Every city has a wealth of museums to shed more light on the place, but the one you should definitely make time for in Bangkok is the National Museum. This gives you a look at what makes Bangkok and indeed, Thailand into the places they truly are - it is well worth spending a few hours there.

The Temple of Dawn is probably a familiar name to most people, but few could place its location as being in Bangkok. This is actually more of a tower in appearance than a temple, but this is one of those must see sights that you should always have on your list of things to do.

Ironically you don't actually have to visit it to get the best from it. Most people agree that the best views come when you look over at it from the other side of the Chao Phraya River. You can only really get an appreciation of the awesome sight of this temple by standing back and viewing it from afar.

You will soon see that the Buddha is a frequent sight here in Bangkok. The Temple of the Green Buddha is a heavily frequented location when it comes to tourists, but don't expect to take any photos of the Green Buddha itself, as this is strictly forbidden. The Buddha is tiny compared to the grandeur of the temple, so you may have to squint to commit it to memory!

What's more, you will find that once you arrive from your flights to Bangkok that wherever you choose to stay in the city, you won't be too far from some of the major sights and tourist attractions. And there is enough to see and do to ensure that you will be satisfied no matter how long you stay.
