Qué hacer en Bangkok

Bangkok is a real city of contrasts: luxury malls, numerous boutique and extravagant five-star hotels are found side by side with old village homes; buddish temples share space with cabarets and exotic red-light districts. And of course no visit to Bangkok would be complete without taking a tour of its famous cultural landmarks: the historic Grand Palace which was the home of the Thai King for 150 years; Jim Thompson House, a museum of Thai architecture and art; the impressive Buddish temples Wat Arun and Wat Pho. One more attraction which contributes to the unique character of the city is undoubtedly its floating markets, such as Khlong Lat Mayom and Taling Chan. Actually, those are more of riverside markets, where eating is always the highlight. Sitting on a little wooden stool and ordering an exotic dish cooked on the boat just 2 metres from you can be a lot of fun!
