TOURIST ATTRACTIONS IN & AROUND BANGKOK
Down town Bangkok - One full day tour :
1. Grand Palace + Emerald Buddha temple(called as Wat Phra Kaew in Thai)
2. Golden Buddha Temple (solid 5 tons weight)
3. Reclined Buddha Temple (Known as Wat Pho - Giant size Buddha in sleeping posture)
4. Vimanmek Teak wood palace.
South East Subu rb of Bangkok - Around 40Km. from Down town - One full day tour
1. Crocodile Farm - With more than 40,000crocodiles supposed to be the biggest in Asia or world?
2. Ancient City - In a vast land area they made all replicas of Thai temples, Pagodas & Palaces etc. in a pleasant atmosphere which is worth going around. Even there is a small floating market there and number of Chinese kind of temples & palaces too. There is an unbelievable massive size Govardhana giri + Vasuki Cobra structure used by those Demons & Devas together in Milk sea where they were trying to get number of things out of it as per Hindu mythology.
South West Suburb of Bangkok - One full day tour which is not sufficient to cover
1. Floating market(around 100km from down town) It is a small villange with all back water canals around in which all houses are loated on the banks of the canal and every house has normally got a boat in front to commute around. There is a central market place(fresh vegetable,meat) where they still do their buying of goods from the vendors who are also coming on their boats and we can also go around in the boats there.
2. Wax Museum(around 50Km. from down town) As good like the famous one in UK so worth seeing.
3. Rose Garden(around 50Km. in the same location of Wax museum) Very nice Garden where they do have a Thai cultural & heritage show.
4. Buddhamonthon(around 45km. in the same location of Rose Garden) A huge garden where in the middle there is a standing Buddha statue(approx. 60ft. tall) in the open area.
North & North east Suburb of BKK
1. Dream world - Amusement park only(One full or half day depending upon how many rides you want to go)
2. Safari world - There are two areas here one is Open zoo where we could drive through the animals and the other one is with the famous dolphin show, bird show & number of other shows and so one full day to cover for sure.
3. Siam Park - Amusement park with a water park too.
Other than the above there are number of shopping complexes and market places as you know also. In case of you want to go for places away from Bangkok like Ayuthaya(Historic important place), Pattaya(famous night life place at beach), Kanchanaburi(famous River Kwai, water falls and water dam), Huahin(famous beach) etc., they are all around 1 hour to 2 hours distance from Bangkok.
Apart from that visiting Chiangmai & other provinces you can go through the famous websites of Tourism Authority of Thailand where you can get enough information.
If you want to travel by train, you can also get information from the respective websites. In side Bangkok city, the suburban trains like elevated train & underground trains are well operated and latest in all terms but the normal trains running between cities around the country is not even up to the level of our country since it is meter gauge and single line and so it takes lot of time to travel - not much of frequency also. The major problem is language where you will find it difficult to manage if you are travelling alone, you need to be really adventurous type to do this way.
Anyhow it is up to you to decide & confirm all issues and let me know further.
I can book you in a hotel of 3-4 star level(Hotel Windsor, Sukhumvit Soi 20) in the down town area where just in 50m distance there are few of our South & North Indian restaurants - room rent is around US $75/-
In case of you need any other assistance, You are most welcome.
