The 10 must-see attractions and things to do in Bangkok are:
- Get on a river taxi and see the beauty of the Chao Praya River.
- Rub elbows with the locals and tourists at the Weekend market, Chatuchak/Jatujak.
- See the wonders of the Grand Palace.
- Have a Thai massage in Wat Po and if you have the time, take the 10-day Thai Massage course.
- Have A Relaxing Spa At The Banyan.
- Visit the Floating Market.
- Haggle at the night markets.
- Shopping is the Thai's national past time and wherever you are in Bangkok, you will never run out of shops to explore.
- Try Thai cuisine. You've had Thai food in your country and I'm sure it's good; but Thai food cooked in Thailand, is in my opinion, just heavenly!
- See an Elephant Show
Though such a hot tourist place, the city is not more than a few miles away from you especially with widely available flights to Bangkok from London with Etihad Airways.
