For most travellers Bangkok is the first stop in Thailand. Arriving by plane and staying some days to get ready for the country is usual. But it isn’t always easy. Still tired from the long flight one gets to a city which is different from everything you know. Chaos, noise and fever are everywhere. After the first shock one starts loving this chaos. There is no other possibility, the city with its uncountable people, driving around in their small Tuk Tuk cars or selling everything in their small booths. One could sit the whole day in one of the restaurants or in front of a cook shop and watch the happening on the streets.
But Bangkok has so much more in store that one should definitely come back before leaving and stay some more days.
The famous Floating Market can also be seen in a James Bond movie. The goods are sold from boat to boat here and it is a beautiful picture. The weekend market Chatuchak is even more spectacular. In the huge area there is sold everything one can imagine. The perfect place to find souvenirs for family and friends at home.
Concerning culture and history the Grand Palace is the first place to go. The royal building with its brilliant look should definitely be on the to-visit list. There are some more temples for example Wat Po, Wat Arun, Wat Phra Kaeo and many more that are really beautiful. Tipp: Buy a ticket for the taxi boat on Chao Phraya River, so you can go to all of these temples and it is very cheap. Further, the boat trip on the river is a great experience and one can see all the beautiful buildings from the water
