Bangkok is a crazy, vibrant, food-obsessed city where ancient temples sit alongside sleek skyscrapers, and centuries-old traditions blend seamlessly with regenerated neighbourhoods bursting with energy.
By: Paul Healy | Last Updated:
There’s genuinely so much to see and do.
Street food, temples, markets, neighbourhoods, and shopping. Without a solid plan, you’ll find yourself overwhelmed by the sheer abundance of Bangkok.
We’ve designed this itinerary to distil Bangkok down to its absolute best, organised geographically so you’re not wasting hours getting places.
The first three days hit all the essential sights — the unmissable temples, neighbourhoods, and experiences that define Bangkok.
Days 4 and 5 add deeper dives into the city’s best-kept gems, for those who want to stay longer and really understand what makes this place tick.
How Many Days in Bangkok?
We recommend spending at least 3 days in Bangkok, though 4 or 5 days is better if you can manage it.
Three days give you enough time to visit the Grand Palace complex, the main temples, a rooftop bar, and the best of Chinatown and Talat Noi.
Four days adds Chatuchak or Siam, and time to slow down in some of the city’s more interesting neighbourhoods. A fifth day is ideal for a floating market day trip.
For our pick of the best attractions, read our guide to the best things to do in Bangkok.

Our Bangkok Itinerary
Day 1: the Grand Palace, Wat Pho, Wat Arun & the River
Day 1 is anchored in Bangkok’s old city — Rattanakosin — where the major temples and the Grand Palace are clustered together on a bend in the Chao Phraya River.
We’d suggest starting when the Grand Palace opens, as the heat and crowds both build quickly.
The Grand Palace & Wat Phra Kaew
The Grand Palace was built in 1782 as the official residence of the Thai King. It remains one of the most extraordinary architectural complexes in Southeast Asia.
The highlight is the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, which sits at the heart of the complex.
The buildings surrounding the Emerald Buddha feature golden spires, intricate mosaic walls, mythological guardian statues, and long murals depicting the Ramakien, all of which are stunning.
You will need two to three hours to do the complex justice. Aim to be at the entrance when it opens at 8:30 am.
Dress code: Shoulders and knees must be covered. Sarongs and trousers are available to borrow at the entrance if you need them.
Scam warning: Tuk-tuk drivers near the palace may tell you it is closed for a special ceremony and offer to take you elsewhere. This is one of Bangkok’s most persistent scams. The palace is very rarely closed.
Tickets: 500 THB (approximately £11), which also includes entry to Vimanmek Mansion and the Dusit Palace.
Guided tour: This guided tour includes the Grand Palace, Wat Pho, and Wat Arun and is an excellent way to see all three major sights with context.
Wat Pho
Just a short walk south of the Grand Palace, Wat Pho is Bangkok’s oldest and largest temple complex.
It is most famous for the Reclining Buddha: a 46-metre gilded figure that fills an entire building. The statue is so large you cannot take it all in at once — the soles of the feet alone are 5 metres tall.
Wat Pho is also the birthplace of traditional Thai massage, and there is an excellent school on-site. After a morning on your feet in the heat, a massage here is a great thing to do next.
Thai Massage
Traditional Thai massage is quite different from what you might expect if you are used to Western spa treatments. There are no oils, and it involves stretching, pressure, and whole-body manipulation.
The school at Wat Pho is a great place to have a traditional massage.
If the school is fully booked, Chetawan is a reliable alternative. It’s directly affiliated with Wat Pho and is a short walk from the temple.
Lunch
After your massage, grab lunch in the Wat Pho area. Café Tha Tien on the waterfront is a good choice — informal, inexpensive, and serving solid Thai classics.
Pak Khlong Talat (Flower Market)
After lunch, head to Pak Khlong Talat, Bangkok’s wholesale flower market, a short walk along the river from Café Tha Tien.
It is one of the most visually striking corners of the city, and it is easy to combine with an afternoon on the water.
The market is most intense between midnight and 6 AM when the wholesale trade is in full swing. But, during the day, it is quieter with vendors selling garlands, flower crowns, and jasmine offerings.
You’ll only need 30 minutes at most, but it’s worth the detour.
Wat Arun
From the flower market, make your way to Tha Rainjee pier and take the Chao Phraya Express Boat upriver to Wat Arun.
This short journey along the river is one of the coolest things to do in Bangkok.
Wat Arun is on the western bank of the river, and it’s one of Bangkok’s most photogenic landmarks.
The central prang (tower) rises 86 metres and is encrusted with colourful porcelain and seashells. The effect in afternoon light is spectacular.
It’s a wonderful spot to stroll around. You can climb the steep steps to the second tier of the central tower for views across the river to the Bangkok skyline.
The Chao Phraya & the Klongs
The Chao Phraya River Express Boat is one of the most practical and enjoyable ways to move around Bangkok. For around 15 THB per journey, you get a window seat on one of the city’s great thoroughfares.
Alternatively, a longtail boat tour through the klongs (canals) gives you a completely different view of the city. The tours pass wooden stilted houses, small riverside shrines, and neighbourhoods that feel far removed from the main streets.
We took this longtail boat tour, which passes Wat Arun, then takes the narrow canals past Bangkok’s wooden stilted homes.
Banthat Thong Road or Chinatown
For your first evening in Bangkok, head to Chinatown (Yaowarat Road) for dinner.
From around 6 pm, the pavements fill with grills, steamers, and woks. You will find grilled seafood, roast duck, oyster omelettes, and mango sticky rice.
If you want something further off the tourist trail, Banthat Thong Road is one of Bangkok’s most exciting street food strips.
It comes alive in the evenings with a dense run of stalls serving grilled meats, noodle soups, and Thai curries.
There are no English menus, so just point at what looks good on a neighbouring table, and you are unlikely to be disappointed.
Day 2: Talat Noi, Chinatown & Silom
For day 2, we stick to the riverfront corridor south of the Grand Palace, where several of Bangkok’s most interesting neighbourhoods are.
Trok Mor Morning Market (Optional)
If you are an early riser and not a fussy eater, start the day at Trok Mor. This narrow-alley morning market in the old city caters almost entirely to the surrounding community and runs from around 6 am to midday.
Prices are extremely low, and the quality is excellent, but you will not recognise most of what is being sold.
We were happy to point and hope. If that approach appeals to you, go between 7 am and 9 am, and you’ll absolutely love it.
Talat Noi
Begin the main part of the day in Talat Noi, one of Bangkok’s oldest communities. It’s a compact neighbourhood tucked between Chinatown and is well worth exploring.
The neighbourhood developed as a Chinese immigrant settlement in the 18th century, and the layers of history are visible in every direction — crumbling shophouses, family-run metal workshops, old shrines wedged between modern buildings, and excellent street art.
We cover Talat Noi in our favourite things to do in Bangkok, but here is a rough walking tour:
- Antique Turtle Car – The popular photo spot in Talat Noi will put you on some of the most interesting streets.
- Talat Noi Street Art – Navigate towards this location on Google Maps for some brightly coloured street art.
- River City – A polished counterpoint to the grittier creative spaces in Talat Noi, with galleries, auction houses, boutiques, and regularly changing exhibitions
- ATT 19 – A smaller creative space nearby, with a good café and regularly changing exhibitions.
- Warehouse 30 – A complex of converted Second World War-era warehouses that now houses independent cafes, creative studios, and weekend art and design markets.
- Charoen Krung 32 Alley – A row of weathered shophouses which have been taken over by independent cafes, small galleries, and creative businesses. The street art around here is also cool.
Lunch
Stay in the Talat Noi area for lunch. The cafes along Charoen Krung 32 Alley are a good option, or grab a table at one of the small restaurants near River City.
Yaowarat Road, Chinatown
Bangkok’s Chinatown is one of the oldest and largest in the world.
Yaowarat Road, the main artery, is a riot of gold shops, seafood restaurants, herbal medicine vendors, and neon signs.
Beyond eating and drinking, there are a few things worth seeking out.
Wat Traimit, near the Chinatown Gate, houses a 5.5-tonne solid gold Buddha.
Walking Street, a quieter route between Yaowarat and the Chao Phraya River, threads through some of the city’s oldest parts, passing old Portuguese churches, century-old shophouses, and temples dating back to the founding of Bangkok.
From around 6 pm, the pavements fill with street food stalls. This is a great place to grab dinner before heading south to Silom.
Silom & Sathorn
Head south by taxi or BTS to the Silom and Sathorn area. This is Bangkok’s central business district, and it has some of the city’s best rooftop bars.
The Patpong, Bangkok’s infamous red light district) has a night market that’s well worth checking out.
Rooftop Bars
Bangkok has one of the world’s great skylines, and the best way to appreciate it is from above. Our three recommendations in the Silom area:
- Vertigo & Moon Bar — An open-air rooftop on the 61st floor of the Banyan Tree Hotel with panoramic views. There is a minimum spend, but the views alone are worth it.
- Sky Bar at Lebua — Bangkok’s most famous rooftop bar, partly due to its appearance in The Hangover Part II. An open-air semicircular bar perched on a tower overlooking the river.
- Octave Rooftop Lounge — Three floors of outdoor space across the 45th to 49th floors of the Bangkok Marriott Hotel Sukhumvit, with excellent views towards the Chao Phraya.
Day 3: Temples, Jim Thompson House & Khao San Road
Day 3 moves a little further from the river and takes in some of Bangkok’s most rewarding temples and attractions.
Wat Saket (the Golden Mount)
Begin at Wat Saket, a 19th-century artificial hill topped with a golden chedi. A spiral walkway winds around the hill through gardens to the top, where the views over the old city are excellent.
This is one of our favourite temples in Bangkok. It is far less visited than the main sights, and the atmosphere at the top is genuinely peaceful.
Note: Phanfa Bridge Pier — the starting point for the canal ferry to Jim Thompson House later in the day — is right next to Wat Saket. You will be coming back here after lunch, so it is worth clocking where it is.
Wat Suthat & the Giant Swing
A short walk from Wat Saket, Wat Suthat is one of Bangkok’s most important temples.
The Giant Swing — a towering red teak structure — stands in front of the temple. It was once the site of a Brahmin ceremony in which participants swung high enough to reach bags of gold coins hung from poles. The ceremony was discontinued in 1935.
Wat Ratchabophit
A short walk away, Wat Ratchabophit is one of Bangkok’s hidden gems.
Built in 1869 under King Rama V, it has an unusual circular cloister that surrounds a tall golden chedi. The ordination hall features an extraordinary interior that blends Thai architecture with Victorian Gothic detailing.
It is free to enter and unlike anything else in the city.
Lunch — Near Phanfa Bridge
Head back towards Phanfa Bridge for lunch before catching the ferry. There are several small cafes and noodle shops in the lanes around the pier. Nothing fancy — but perfect fuel before the afternoon.
Canal Ferry to Jim Thompson House
This is one of the best transport experiences in Bangkok, and it is entirely practical rather than touristy.
Walk to Phanfa Bridge Pier and board the express boat on Klong Saen Saep.
These narrow longtail boats fly up the canal at speed, with passengers clinging to plastic sheeting to avoid getting drenched at each stop.
Board at Phanfa Bridge Pier and exit at Saphan Hua Chang Pier, which is right next to the Jim Thompson House. Tickets can be purchased on board. The journey takes around 15 minutes and costs a few baht.
Jim Thompson House
Jim Thompson was an American businessman who revived Thailand’s silk industry after World War II and became one of Bangkok’s most celebrated figures.
He disappeared mysteriously in the Cameron Highlands of Malaysia in 1967, and his story remains one of the city’s enduring enigmas.
His home is six traditional Thai houses relocated and joined together on the bank of a klong in central Bangkok.
It is now a museum housing his remarkable collection of Asian art and antiques, including Chinese porcelain, Cambodian sculptures, Thai paintings, and European furniture.
The house itself, set in beautiful gardens, is a stunning example of traditional Thai architecture.
Visits are by guided tour only, which run regularly throughout the day in English. Allow about 1.5 hours.
Khao San Road & Phra Athit Road
From Jim Thompson House, the easiest way back to Banglamphu is by canal ferry.
Return to Saphan Hua Chang Pier and take the Klong Saen Saep express boat back to Phanfa Bridge — the same journey in reverse.
Alternatively, a tuk-tuk or Grab will get you there.
You may arrive with firm opinions about Khao San Road — too touristy, too chaotic, too full of braided hair and bucket cocktails. These are all correct.
But Khao San Road is also genuinely entertaining, and it is hard not to get swept up in it.
Phra Athit Road, which runs along the river a short walk from Khao San, is lined with old shophouses converted into cafes, bars, and small galleries, and has a much more relaxed atmosphere.
Soi Rambuttri, which runs parallel to Khao San, is a good middle ground — livelier than Phra Athit Road but considerably calmer than the main strip, with a good selection of restaurants.
Day 4: Chatuchak & Lumpini Park (Siam)
What you do on Day 4 depends on when you are visiting. If it is a Saturday or Sunday, head north to Chatuchak Weekend Market and combine it with Or Tor Kor Market next door.
If it is a weekday, head instead to the Siam area, where Bangkok’s best shopping malls are clustered together around the BTS interchange.
Option a: Chatuchak Weekend Market (Saturdays & Sundays)
Or Tor Kor Market sits right next to Chatuchak at the Mo Chit BTS stop and is the ideal warm-up.
This clean, well-organised, fresh produce market is a completely different experience from the chaos next door. It’s quieter, better quality, and almost entirely local.
Chatuchak itself is one of the largest markets in the world.
It operates on Saturdays and Sundays and contains over 8,000 stalls spread across 27 acres. You’ll find almost everything: antique furniture, vintage clothing, handmade ceramics, local art, plants, street food, live animals, and religious artefacts.
The layout is a labyrinth, and getting lost is part of the experience. A food section near sections 26 and 27 is a good place to stop and regroup.
Option B: Siam (Weekdays)
If Chatuchak is not an option, the Siam BTS interchange is Bangkok’s main shopping hub and is worth a half-day of your time.
Several of the city’s biggest and best malls are clustered here, including Siam Paragon, Siam Centre, and CentralWorld, which is one of the largest shopping centres in Southeast Asia.
It is not just malls, though. MBK Centre, a short walk away, is a more traditional Bangkok shopping experience — eight floors of small independent stalls selling electronics, clothes, accessories, and street food.
The area is also close to the Jim Thompson House, if you missed it on Day 3, and a short BTS ride from Lumpini Park for the afternoon.
Lumpini Park
After Chatuchak, take the BTS back south and stop at Lumpini Park before the evening. Bangkok is an intense city, and Lumpini is where it catches its breath. In the late afternoon, the park fills with families, picnics, and pedal boats on the lake.
It is also one of the few places in Bangkok where you have a reasonable chance of spotting a monitor lizard — enormous reptiles that live in the park’s ponds and have become unlikely local celebrities.
Food Tour
If there is one city we would recommend a food tour in, it is Bangkok. Thai cuisine is one of the world’s great food cultures, but many dishes are difficult to identify or order without guidance. A tour changes that.
Spend this evening on one of the following very well-rated food tours.
Bangkok Backstreets Food Tour with 15+ Tastings — Consistently one of the highest-rated food tours on both GetYourGuide and Viator. Groups are capped at 8 people with 2 guides. You will try 15 tastings across markets, street stalls, and local spots in Chinatown.
Midnight Food Tour by Tuk-Tuk — A great option if you want to combine food with sightseeing. The tour covers the old city by tuk-tuk, stopping at local street food spots before finishing with drinks at a rooftop bar.
Old Siam Food Tour with 15+ Tastings — This one stands out for its use of multiple modes of transport: a khlong boat, a tuk-tuk, and walking through the Nang Loeng district. Small groups, stops at Shell Shuan Shim-recommended vendors.
Day 5: Floating Market Day Trip
If you have a fifth day, a day trip to a floating market is one of Bangkok’s most memorable experiences.
The most famous markets are heavily commercialised, but with the right choice of market, they are also a lot of fun.
Amphawa Floating Market (Our Recommended)
Amphawa is about two hours from central Bangkok and significantly more atmospheric than the alternatives.
It runs on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings. If you can, stay overnight and take a firefly boat tour on the Mae Klong River — it is a wonderful experience that most Bangkok visitors completely miss.
Khlong Lat Mayom
In the western suburbs of Bangkok, Khlong Lat Mayom is the most local of the three main floating markets and runs on weekends.
It is popular with Bangkok residents rather than tourists; the food is excellent, and the atmosphere is relaxed. A good option if you cannot get to Amphawa.
Damnoen Saduak
The most famous floating market, Damnoen Saduak, is about 90 minutes from central Bangkok. It gets very busy and is undeniably touristy, but the visual spectacle — boats piled with tropical fruit, vendors in traditional dress — is genuinely photogenic.
Go in with the right expectations, and this is a lot of fun.
Logistics & Practicalities
Visas
People from the UK, USA, Australia, Canada, and most EU nations can enter Thailand visa-free for up to 60 days. This was extended from 30 days in 2024 and applies only to tourist visits.
You will need a passport valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended stay, a confirmed onward or return ticket. Proof of accommodation or sufficient funds may be requested at immigration, though this has never happened to us.
If you plan to stay longer than 60 days, you can extend your visa by a further 30 days at any immigration office in Thailand for a fee of 1,900 THB.
How to Get to Bangkok
Suvarnabhumi International Airport (BKK) is Bangkok’s main international gateway and one of the busiest airports in Asia. It is located approximately 30 kilometres east of central Bangkok.
A second airport, Don Mueang International Airport, handles mostly budget carriers within Asia and domestic flights.
Getting from Suvarnabhumi to the City Centre:
The Airport Rail Link connects Suvarnabhumi Airport directly to Phaya Thai station in central Bangkok. The journey takes about 30 minutes and costs 45 THB. This is the most efficient and reliable option.
Official metered taxis are available on Level 1 via a queue ticket system.
Taxis from the airport operate on the meter plus a 50 THB airport surcharge and any expressway tolls (usually around 60 THB). The total cost to central Bangkok is typically 300-400 THB.
Always take a metered taxi from the official queue on floor 1, not from touts.
Private transfers can be arranged in advance and typically cost around 700-900 THB to central Bangkok.
Getting Around Bangkok
Bangkok has an excellent and expanding public transport network.
The BTS Skytrain is the easiest way to move around the city, covering most of the major areas tourists visit.
Fares vary by distance and typically range from 16-59 THB.
Get a Rabbit Card if you are staying more than a day or two — sold at any BTS station.
The MRT (underground metro) connects Silom, Sukhumvit, and the older part of the city around Chinatown and Hua Lamphong. It interconnects with the BTS at several stations.
The Chao Phraya River Express Boat is ideal for getting to the old city temples and is one of the most enjoyable ways to move around. The orange-flag boats are the best value at around 15 THB per journey.
Grab (the regional equivalent of Uber) is reliable, affordable, and excellent for getting to places not on the rail network. Download the app before you arrive.
Tuk-tuks are available everywhere but should be used with caution. Always agree on a price before getting in, and never accept a journey offer from someone who approaches you unsolicited.
Where to Stay in Bangkok?
The best area to stay depends on what you want to do. For temples and markets, the Rattanakosin/Banglamphu area (near Khao San Road) is convenient. For shopping, nightlife, and easy transport, Sukhumvit is the best base.
Here are a few of our recommendations:
The Peninsula Bangkok (Riverside, $$$) — One of Bangkok’s finest hotels, with a legendary riverside position and pool complex. An indulgence worth considering for at least a night.
Capella Bangkok (Riverside, $$$$) — A contemporary luxury hotel opened in 2021, with spectacular river views and one of the best pools in the city.
Hotel Indigo Bangkok Wireless Road (Ploenchit, $$$) — A well-designed boutique hotel with easy BTS access and a rooftop pool.
You might also want to read our guide on Where To Stay in Bangkok, which has recommendations for each type of trip you might be planning.
How Many Days in Bangkok?
We recommend a minimum of 3 to 4 days in Bangkok to get a proper feel for the city.
Three days give you enough time to cover the main temples, spend a day in the markets and neighbourhoods, and have at least one great evening out.
Four days or more allows you to explore further afield — the klongs, a day trip to the floating markets, or simply more time wandering neighbourhoods without a fixed agenda.
Bangkok is also a natural base for side trips. Ayutthaya, the ancient former capital of Thailand, is an hour and a half north by train and is a genuinely moving and impressive place to visit.
Best Time to Visit Bangkok
The best time to visit Bangkok is during the cool, dry season from November to February. Temperatures are slightly lower (around 25-30°C), there is little rain, and the air quality is generally better.
March to May is the hottest period of the year, with temperatures regularly exceeding 35°C. It is manageable, but sightseeing can be physically demanding.
June to October is the wet season. Heavy afternoon downpours are common, though they rarely last more than an hour or two.
Hotels are cheaper, and the city is less crowded, which compensates for the inconvenience.
We have visited Bangkok in November and February. November was our favourite time. There was just enough heat, the skies were mostly clear, and we generally only got rain for a short period of time in the afternoons.
Tips for Visiting Bangkok
Dress respectfully when visiting temples. Cover shoulders and knees. Keep a light layer in your bag.
Always carry cash. Bangkok is rapidly going cashless in many areas, but many street food vendors, markets, and smaller establishments are still cash-only.
Bargaining is expected at markets but not at restaurants, department stores, or metered taxis.
Be cautious about accepting help or directions from strangers near major tourist sites. The tuk-tuk tour scam, where they tell you an attraction is closed but later take you to something nearby, is still active in Bangkok.
Book popular attractions in advance. The Grand Palace and some other major sites now offer or require online ticketing. Arriving without a booking, especially in peak season, can mean long queues.
Respect the monarchy. Thailand’s lèse-majesté laws are among the strictest in the world. Avoid any negative commentary about the royal family in public or in conversation with people you don’t know well.
Heat and humidity are serious. Bangkok is hot and humid year-round, and in the hotter months it can be genuinely punishing. Plan your outdoor sightseeing for early morning or late afternoon, and drink more water than you think you need.

Hmm, I see what you mean about that huge statue at Wat Pho – she must feel very clautrophobic in there. Still, if she got cramp at least she’s in the right place for a massage 😉
Can you just clarify exactly where I can get a gold bath mat please – I’ve been looking for one of those for ages! #farawayflies
ps. voted for you.
Gold bath mats are an essential for any modern bathroom. I’ll speak to my brother, he can do a good deal for you. Thanks very much for your vote, we really appreciate it!
Thailand, specifically Bangkok, is high on my travel wishlist, so this post couldn’t be more perfect. I also I love that you include the cost breakdown in multiple currencies that is incredibly helpful. Thank you for sharing on #farawayfiles and good luck on your UK Blogging Award!
Thanks Hilary. It’s a fantastic city so I hope you get there soon. Let us know if you have any questions.
Looks amazing: your photos show Bangkok off well! The statues and temples are sublime. This seems a great itinerary to see a bit of everything and useful to get an idea of prices! Like how you structure the guide. I’ve never really considered travelling to Bangkok (my only knowledge of the area are the references in the musical Miss Saigon, lol….and they aren’t particularly favourable) but you’ve made me re-think! #FarawayFiles
Thanks very much. Bangkok is a great city, a little bit of something for everyone. The food is incredible and the temples are so atmospheric.
Bangkok is a great city, I’ve visited twice now and still have so much to see. As the last trip was a short stay I had to choose between the floating markets and the husky cafe, and well, you’ve probably seen which won! 😉 #FarawayFiles
Nice choice I think. The Huskies look so cute, those blue eyes!
I loved the temples and the floating market when I was in Bangkok. Next time, would love to try more of the food and do more shopping. Thanks for sharing on #TheWeeklyPostcard
The shopping is pretty cool, great place to grab a bargain.
I tend to get a bit claustrophobic in massive cities like this but I could tolerate it for 3 days. I am sure the street food is tasty and observing the floating market and people watching would be entertaining. Beyond the temples I might wish to visit public gardens and museums, more my “cup of tea.” #The WeeklyPostcard
Thanks for your comments Deborah. Some of the gardens in Bangkok are a great way to escape the craziness!
Absolutely stunning photos. I would love to visit Bangkok to see the floating market and the temples. The detail on them is absolutely incredible – each piece seems so small and intricate.
Thanks so much, Sara. The temples in Bangkok are beautiful, so much detail.
Some of the real Thai classics here. I’ve visited a few times and it’s aways an assault on the senses. Fabulous city though. I think I’d need a massage after being beaten with a witch’s broom! Thanks for sharing on #FarawayFiles
Yes, the massage was fantastic. Always a great way to relax after a long day walking around a city.
Hi Paul
We are visiting Bangkok in October. Would you recommend a street food tour?
Thanks for the blog, very informative!
Hi Elmien – Thanks for your comment, glad you found it useful. There’s a really great street food tour designed by chefs. All the information and booking is here. Have fun in Bangkok!
