Explore Floating Markets and Buddhist Monasteries in Thailand’s Capital

Bangkok brims with ancient temples, street food, and shopping, offering visitors a unique glimpse into Thailand’s past and present. Explore the city on your own, or take your pick of several optional tours for an in-depth look at the city (additional fees apply). This vacation includes:

Bangkok, Thailand

“Sprawling, frenetic, and sultry”—that’s how Travel + Leisure describes Bangkok, a city of seeming contradictions. A stroll through the hot, tropical city might offer up Buddhist monasteries tucked between towering skyscrapers, late-night bars, and floating markets. This melding of the ancient and ultramodern helped push Bangkok to the top of Travel + Leisure’s “World’s Best Cities” list for four consecutive years from 2010 to 2013.

This vacation will give you plenty of free time to explore the city’s temples and statues, including the Emerald Buddha, which you can learn more about on an optional Grand Palace tour ($53/person). The statue was carved from a single block of jade in the 14th century and remains one of Thailand’s most sacred sites. Despite Bangkok’s dedication to tradition, it moves at a lightning-fast speed. The youthful Khaosan Road district, for example, is packed with bars, massage parlors, market stalls, and tattoo shops. Another bustling area is the Siam district, home to the city’s best shopping. On nearly every corner, you’ll find a vast array of street food, ranging from banh mi sandwiches to barbecued duck tongue.

  • Pak Khlong Talat: a marketplace where baskets overflow with rare orchids, lotuses, and fragrant marigolds, which are considered lucky charms in Thailand
  • East meets West at Vimanmek Mansion, a former royal residence that features daily Thai dance performances and 19th-century European decor.
  • Golden Buddha: a towering, 5-ton solid-gold statue that was hidden beneath a coat of plaster until the mid-1950s; now at Wat Traimit temple, it’s estimated to be some 800 years old.
  • Ratchada Grand Theatre: Its nightly Siam Niramit show recounts 700 years of history with elaborate sets, special effects, and more than 100 performers—including elephants ($69/person).
  • More optional tours: Learn about the history of Ayutthaya, Thailand’s former capital, while exploring the region on a day-long tour ($73/person); take a half-day tour of Bangkok and its temples ($47-$49/person); haggle at the floating market of Damnoen Saduak ($74/person); see the Chao Phraya River on a sunset dinner cruise ($81/person).
