What to do in Bangkok

Bangkok is a huge city and it spreads itself out fairly far.  There are loads of different areas to the city too so there is plenty of exploring to be done.  My favourite areas to visit include Siam, which is great for shopping, Khao San Road, which is the tourist hang out with a market which is on during the daytime and night time, and Lupini Park where there is a huge night market, plus an outside eating and drinking area with a huge stage that has nightly music performances - with dancers. 

There is plenty to see and do in Bangkok so whether its a visit to the particularly stunning Grand Palace or a trip to the Siam Niramit Theatre for a fabulous show, shopping, partying or a visit to one of the many cabarets, your never bored that’s for sure and if your tired from a hectic day of sight seeing then you can unwind with a Thai massage. 

Fabulous temples and statues are dotted around the city and there are loads of different modes of transport to get around; taxis, tuk-tuks, tricycles, buses, the sky train and boats are all very cheap and easy to use but watch the prices of taxis and tuk-tuks from big hotels as they will be about ten times the normal price!  I love Bangkok, its one of my favourite cities.
