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.

[Skip-the-Line] SEA LIFE Bangkok Ocean World Ticket
I have only been to the aquarium in St. Petersburg and it did not impress me at all. I thought that this was not my type of vacation at all. But I really liked Bangkok. Perfectly selected music creates the atmosphere. There are even a few places to sit and contemplate behind the huge aquarium. I would never have thought that I would stay in such a place for 4 hours !!! We took an admission ticket + 4D movie + glass bottom boat. We have never regretted it.

Safari World Ticket in Bangkok
It is a must-visit attraction for parents and children. It is about 30 minutes' drive from downtown Bangkok. It is possible to arrange a whole day of activities by chartering or taking a taxi. Because there are many parks and ocean parks, various performances are very exciting and lunch is also good.

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!
