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.

Bangkok Erawan Shrine Make a wish or Votive Online Service
It had been arranged to go to Bangkok in February 2020 to pay the vows, but when the epidemic broke out, there was basically no way to go abroad to pay the vows. After waiting for a year, I just happened to see that KLOOK offers the service of voicing the prayers on all sides, which is really great! The team of Erawan Buddhism Vow is very professional. I hope that the photos and videos will be sent to me the next day after the event. I really like your service!

Mahanakhon SkyWalk Ticket in Bangkok
The night view of Bangkok is beautiful! It's crystal clear yellow! When it's worth to play, take a look at the sky walk ❤️ E-ticket is very convenient, the service staff will also accompany us to go up very enthusiastic! Sky walk is very close to the MRT~ It takes about 3 minutes to walk~ It is definitely a lovely night view that you can't miss when you come to Thailand😍✨

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!

[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????????

Ancient Ayutthaya Tour by AK
Definitely a must-try, even for those who are frequent visitors of Bangkok but have yet to venture out of the city centre. This tour was well organised, stuck to the schedule and had guides who were fluent in English and experienced in their craft. It was a wonderful journey through time where you get to learn about the culture and history of a forgotten civilisation. The only unfortunate part about this experience was encountering the other tourists who were sadly quite disrespectful towards local customs and places of worship, but that's an inevitability in many cultural landmarks. Still, one would be able to get amazing photographs of these sites without having to go up close (it's better to keep a respectful distance!) Really worth the money and spending a full day on.
