Top places to visit

1. Khaosan Road

To some it's Bangkok's 'party-on-a-dollar' street. To others, the original backpacker's ghetto. For a few, it's even a place to become invisible. The one thing that Khao San Road is to all, is intense. A short crowded street in northern Rattanakosin, its chaotic jumble of clothes stores, street stalls, pad thai carts and tuk-tuks is where Thailand’s budget backpacking scene was born. Now this buzzing community has gone all 'post-modern'. From being a base for cash-strapped travellers to becoming the actual attraction itself. Tourists now come here to watch other tourists. Oh, the irony.

2. Wat Arun

Much that 'glitters and shines' in Bangkok is on the east bank of the Chao Phraya river. But the striking tower of the Wat Arun temple begs to differ. More massive in its drama, and more intricate in its style, than many of Bangkok's wats (temples), its huge central tower rises 76 metres above the western side of the river, dominating the skyline, and lighting up at dawn. Hence its name – Aruna is the Hindu god of the dawn.

3. Grand Palace

The Grand Palace is more than just the most famous landmark of Bangkok. In many ways it is Bangkok. The city we know today had its birth as the new capital city of King Rama I, the founder of the Chakri dynasty. He built the first Royal Palaces here in 1782, forming a world-within-a-world on the newly-created island of Rattanakosin, on the banks of the Chao Phraya River.

4. Asiatique The Riverfront

While you might describe ASIATIQUE The Riverfront as a mall, it offers much more because of its unique approach of introducing visitors to Thai culture. Whether you want to shop and enjoy street food or be immersed in Bangkok’s traditions, come for a delightful evening along the Chao Phraya River.

5. Wat Pho

There's something about the Reclining Buddha that fascinates. The temple where the giant golden leisurely statue is housed – Wat Pho – isn't a pilgrimage site, but its gold-leafed lounging Buddha certainly draws in the crowds. Maybe it's the sheer size (at almost 49 metres in length, the largest Buddha in Thailand). Maybe it's the pose (most of the other 1,000 Buddha images at Wat Pho sit in standard cross-legged contemplation). But perhaps it's something else – that most enigmatic of smiles playing on the Buddha's lips. And there's a good reason why he might be smiling, while reclining here at length in Wat Pho.

6. Temple of the Emerald Buddha

Wat Phra Si Rattana Satsadara is much more than just another gilded Buddhist temple. It is a sacred place that literally protects and holds together the Thai nation. At the heart of this temple complex sits an object of national reverence – the 0.6 metre high statue of the Emerald Buddha. For many Buddhists, this figure is a powerful talisman, bringing prosperity where-ever it is housed – and guaranteeing good fortune to its rulers. It is said that if the Emerald Buddha is ever removed from the Temple, the ruling Thai Chakri dynasty will fall.
