Things to Do in Bangkok
With Bangkok's exciting nightlife and multitude of historical attractions, visitors are never at a loss for fun things to do in Thailand's capital. Be sure to hit the top religious sites in the metropolis, such as Wat Traimit, a massive gold statue of Buddha measuring 10 feet tall, and Wat Pho, the biggest temple in the city. For an architectural exploration, stop by Jim Thompson's House, the unique residence of the famed silk mogul - the site contains six traditional wooden houses and was transformed into a garden that resembles a tropical jungle.A trip to Bangkok wouldn't be complete without a nightlife experience. The city is home to a plethora of fine dining and casual restaurants, such as Bo.lan, Krua Apsorn and Yusup. For a drink, stop by the Brick Bar, a basement pub known for hosting some of the best live musical performances in town. Keep in mind that it can get pretty rowdy at this bar, and those looking for a calmer night on the town might want to stick to Vertigo or Sirocco, which cater to a more sophisticated crowd and have beautiful rooftop patios.
