Bangkok Hotel Specials

Bangkok, directly translated into English is known as the City lf angels, and was constructed in 1782. It is on of Asia�s most fascinating Cities, it is not only a great shopping destination, but also has an amazing culture and history ready to be explored.

Some of the most visited destinations in Bangkok include: The Grand Palace where you can see the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, The Temple of Dawn, and the Chao Phraya River. When visiting the Temples, remember to dress respectively, that means no slops/thongs, shorts, and your shoulders must be covered.

Another major activity in Bangkok is shopping. In my opinion the shopping does not only live up to its reputation, it far exceeds it. The cheapest places to shop are the markets, for example the Patpong Night Bazaar, however if you are looking for the bargains and a bit of comfort MBK Shopping centre is a must see. Duty Free Shopping Centers are encouraged by tour guides in Bangkok, if you are looking for complete luxury and are prepared to pay for this luxury the World Trade Centre must be in your to visit list.

Some fantastic tours are operated on the Chao Phraya River, including lovely sea food dinners, a very romantic option. For those of you on a budget there is a tourist ferry that runs up and down the river, with running commentary of the passing attractions. This is an extremely cheap means of seeing the river sights and can also be used as a great form of transportation.

The cheapest form of transportation is the local Bus, however for a little bit extra; you can get an air-conditioned taxi. Taxi�s are very cheap in Bangkok, and must more convenient in a foreign city. Make sure that the taxi driver has turned the meter to avoid a hefty fare. To experience the real Bangkok, and a bit of an adventure take a tok tok to some of your destinations.
