Though Bangkok is a popular tourist destination for people who want to experience the culture and natural beauty of the Far East, it isn’t one of the easier cities to love. You may plan a day’s worth of visits to different attractions in the city. However, a couple of days are never enough for a great place like Bangkok. You need at least three to four days to get around Bangkok and get to see all that it has to offer. If you have an entire week, nothing better than that.

Bangkok is a blend of old culture and modern amenities. You might take some time to get used to it. However, once you do, it will be an easy ride. It is known as ‘Venice of the East’ and has a good reason behind it. There are several temples and palaces to explore and most of the beautiful beaches and islands surrounding Bangkok are at a stone’s throw distance (well, not literally but they are close!).

Moving around in Bangkok

You will find many temples here which will make your journey more spiritual. The grand architecture of these buildings has stood the test of time and they still look beautiful and fresh.
