Bangkok

Thailand's capital Bangkok is kept alive by the beautiful mess of traffic and people. Iconic landmarks include the official residence of the King of Siam, the Bangkok Grand Palace, Wat Phra Kaew Temple, Wat Arun, and the Temple of Dawn - deemed one of the world's most beautiful structures.

One simply cannot miss the floating market shopping and dining experience at Damnoen Saduak. The Maeklong Train Market in particular even has a train passing through the crowded streets every hour! Do grab a bowl of freshly brewed Tom Yam Goong or Iced Thai Milk Tea to refuel for even more adventures.

Ayutthaya Private Car Charter from Bangkok by Oriental Holiday
The driver was kind, courteous and very enthusiastic. Although the driver was not fluent in English, he used translators to introduce and communicate with us along the road, which made us very relieved. It is really convenient to charter a car from Bangkok to Ayutthaya. The driver also took us. Go to a restaurant that the locals like, big push!

Ayutthaya City Tour from Bangkok with Traditional Thai Dress and Tuk Tuk Ride
The tour was fantastic. The guide was really helpful and informative and the food that was included in the package tasted good despite its humble looks. I bought this trip so that my parents who are unable to walk so much can still enjoy the sights and scenery of historical Thailand. We were getting bored of the cycle of just shopping and eating. This trip was definately an eye-opener and a break from the Bangkok 'city life'

[Sale] Private Suvarnabhumi Airport Transfers (BKK) for Bangkok, Pattaya & More by Oriental Holiday
Although there is a MRT in Bangkok, there are many urban vehicles that are prone to traffic jams (especially at rush hour), but for passengers with large luggage, special car transfer is the most convenient thing! After arriving at the airport, the driver will ask you which airline to take (because I know which gate you have to stop at so that you can walk less far) and the driver's unexpected English is not bad, basic communication and dialogue are ok????????

Divana Nurture Spa in Sukhumvit 11
Divana Nurture Spa recommends a must-buy hand cream. Free shuttle bus at Asok station. I like the environment and atmosphere very much. I have a sense of being hidden in the city. The techniques and skills are not bad. The air-conditioning drive was a bit strong on the day. The shuttle bus Using tuk-tuk to pick up and drop off is quite interesting and very local. When visiting Bangkok, Thailand, you can arrange more massage itineraries, so that you can relax and enjoy yourself after a moment. Choose the way you travel and love yourself more.
