Things To Do
Thai Temples
There are hundreds of temples but some of the more famous are, Wat Arun (on Chao Praya River), Wat Pho (Reclining Buddha), and Wat Pra Keaw (Jade Buddha within the Grand Palace). NOTE: You will be required to cover shoulders, chest, and wear long pants/skirts. You will also be expected to take your shoes off if you wish to enter certain structures. Non-Thais will need to pay an entry fee.
Chao Praya River
Take a boat tour on the Chao Praya River
Thai Massage
Thai massage is everywhere. Cool experience but getting a full body Thai massage can vary place to place. We recommend getting Thai leg massages after a long day of walking around.
Chinatown
