The first day

Royal Palace

It is best to start your tour from the Royal Palace. The name of this architectural structure alone speaks of its majestic beauty. On the walls, tourists from all over the world seek to get into the palace. The interior decoration is particularly graceful. The whole ensemble includes several buildings.

It is surrounded by four walls, the total length of which is 2 kilometers. Entering the palace is allowed only if the shoulders and knees are covered. If the clothes do not match, you will have to rent pants or a sarong for a fee. The cost of the entrance ticket is 350 baht. You can get there by taxi or public transport.

Temple of the Emerald Buddha

It is located in the center next to the Royal Palace. The Buddha statue is not emerald. The material from which it is made is green jadeite. The Thai king Rama himself prays in this temple. The painting on the walls will tell a lot of interesting things from the life of the Buddha. There are scenes where the Buddha is still a child. You can see how he gradually turns into a young man. His life ends with Nirvana, which is not so easy to achieve.

Temple of the Golden Buddha

It is better to go around all the temples on the first day of your stay in Bangkok, so that you can immediately compare them and get a general impression of them. This temple can be reached by train. It is located in the Chinatown area. Unlike the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, here the statue is cast from a real expensive metal – gold. Photos against the background of this temple attract attention with bright colors.

Crocodile farm

On the first day, it is enough to study historical buildings. You need to somehow get distracted, change your mood, get new emotions. To do this, you can go to a crocodile farm. We'll have to get out of town in the town of Samutprakarn. It is not very far, about 10 kilometers from the center. The farm appeared in the 20th century. Now there are about 60 thousand crocodiles in it. Tourists visit the farm mainly because of the deadly reptile tamer show. Do not think that here you can see only crocodiles. There are also elephants, a snake farm and a mini-zoo with tigers, monkeys and many other animals. It’s impossible to leave the farm without a photo with a scary crocodile or a cute monkey. What then will be interesting to show to friends? What would Thailand be without a crocodile farm?

Sirocco Restaurant

It's time to have lunch. It is best to do this in the Sirocco restaurant. It is located on the 64th floor of the Lebua at State Tower Hotel. From the skyscraper offers a gorgeous panorama of Bangkok. If you visit the restaurant in the evening, the impression of what you see will increase many times over. The whole city is lit up with lights. The restaurant is located directly under the open sky. Now about the most important thing: about the price of dishes on the menu. The minimum cost is $35. This is an expensive, but very prestigious place.

Central World Shopping Center

In the evening, if you still have time and energy left, you should go to the shopping center, because on the second day you may not have enough strength for this. You just need to hurry up. The largest centers close their doors at 22:00. Some even earlier. Central World has everything: books, shoes, clothes, banks, and cafes. You can spend half a day here and not notice how much time has passed. You don't have to worry about shopping.

You should take only what you can give as a souvenir. You can buy a few necessary or memorabilia for yourself. Everything, after that you need to go to the hotel to rest. Tomorrow is an exciting day full of adventures.

So it would be wise to go to Siam Water Park after breakfast. You can spend the whole day in this park. The ticket costs 900 baht (adult). You can get there by taxi or by bus. The address of the park is 203 Suan Siam Rd. It is better to start your vacation not from the famous water park, but from the rides. Neither children nor adults will get bored here. There are carousels for kids, roller coasters, you can even take a flight on a magic carpet.

Extreme rides here are unforgettable. They are located in the center of the park. Almost everyone is delighted with the Vortex attraction. You might think that riding on rails is not scary at all. But after the belt is fastened and behind a few meters, the opinion is likely to change in the opposite direction. On rings and spirals it is so breathtaking that it is impossible to sit silently. Do not leave slippers on your feet. During the trip, it will be unrealistically difficult to keep them on their feet.
