I flew into Bangkok Don Muang Airport, arriving at night and spending a total of 5 nights in Bangkok including one night in Ayutthaya, the old capital. This post is my recommended 5 days itinerary in Bangkok including some of the best things to do and see in Bangkok for a first-timer, with lots of other information you might need for a perfect Bangkok itinerary, such as what to pack, what scams to look out for and where to stay in Bangkok. Of course, the orders can be switched around and I have added some additional suggestions to the end, so mix and match what you need to if you want to tailor the itinerary for you.

Getting from Bangkok airport to the city center The chances are that you will be arriving in Bangkok by air. If not, then skip this section and don’t worry, as you’ll likely already be in the city center. There are two main airports in Bangkok; Suvarnabhumi Airport BKK and Don Muang Airport DMK. Don Mueang Airport tends to handle domestic flights and some short distance international flights whereas Suvarnabhumi Airport is the main international airport and is much larger. Distance from Bangkok Airport to the city center Don Muang Airport is 25km north of Bangkok and tends to handle domestic flights and some short distance international flights Suvarnabhumi International Airport is 25km east of the city and is the main international airport for Bangkok. It is much larger and well connected to the Bangkok center. How to get from Suvarnabhumi Airport to Bangkok Airport Rail Link – Operating from 6 am to midnight, Bangkok’s Airport Rail Link is a great choice as it easily connects with both the BTS Skytrain and the Metro. The total travel time is around 30 minutes and tickets are about $ Transfer – This is by far the easiest option as you can organize a private transfer to meet you at the airport and take you straight to your accommodation and operates 24 hours a day. However, as you’d expect, it is also the most expensive and can cost anywhere between $30 – $50. Expect the journey to take 40-50 taxis – Another easy option would be a regular taxi. It will be quite a bt cheaper than a private transfer, probably in the $15 region, but it will depend a lot on where exactly in the city you need to be. ravel time 40 to 50 minutes Bangkok airport to the city by BMTA Public Bus – At around $ this is the cheapest way to get from Suvarnabhumi Airport to Bangkok, but it will take a lot longer, usually over an hour. The bus operates from 5 am to 11 pm daily. My recommendation Even if you are on a really tight budget, for the additional $1, I’d go for the Airport Rail Link every time. If you want convenience then the Taxi is also a good option. Bangkok Don Muang airport to the city center Metered taxis – Try to ignore the touts and limousine drivers who approach you inside the airport and pass through to the taxi rank. A metered taxi will be in the region of $ and taxi/bus combo – If you want to save a bit of money you can take a taxi around $2 or the A1 bus $1 from the airport to Mo Chit Skytrain station that is on the Sukhumvit line. From here you can hop on the BTS and make your way where you need to. My recommendation Taxi BTS combo. Cheap and effective. Scams to look out for in Bangkok As a tourist in Bangkok you are almost certainly going to run into a scam or two, so be sure to keep your wits about you and if someone other than on official tourist office is giving you “helpful” information, take it with a pinch of salt. By far the most common scam is “The temple is closed” one. In and around the Grand palace you’ll find a number of friendly locals who’ll give you the disappointing news that the palace is closed for visits due to a holiday or a celebration. Sometimes it may be all day, others just a few hours. At this point, they’ll recommend a tuk-tuk driver who can take you on a tour of the city or a river cruise and basically just lie to sell you something. When I encountered it, even though I was aware of this common plot, the man was dressed in a uniform, he looked like a government official, so it was really hard not to believe him. But I ignored him and funnily enough, the Palace was open. While selling a tour option is pretty harmless, there is a slightly more sinister version of it called the Bangkok gem scam, also known as the Lucky Buddha Day Scam. Once you have gotten into the tuk-tuk, the driver tells you it’s a special day to buy gems and happens to have a friend who owns a jewelry store. Long story short, he takes you there, and they convince you to buy precious stones but they never turn up. It sounds so obvious and you’re probably thinking, I’ll never fall for that, but people do all the time, smart people, they are just so good at what they do. Always check for yourself. Sometimes the attractions are really closed, but maybe they aren’t. Do you really lose anything by checking for yourself? I went to Wat Arun on the same day, and it was unfortunately really closed for that day. Still, I could take some great pictures from outside, and I did experience the very cheap ferry ride across the river. Day 1 – Chatuchak Weekend Market, Get a massage, Visit ChinatownDay 2 – Grand Palace, iconic Temples, river ferry, National Theatre, Bangkok nightlifeDay 3 – Ayutthaya Day TripDay 4 – Return from Ayutthaya, Khao San Road, Take a night marketDay 5 – Visit a Museum, Watch Muay Thai, and Shopping in Siam Square So, let’s finally talk about what to do in Bangkok in my 5 day itinerary. DAY 1 – Weekend Market and Chinatown The Grab driver who took me on my journey from the Airport to my hostel recommended I visit the Chatuchak weekend market the next day. Having done absolutely no research into where to go in Bangkok before arriving there, I decided to follow his recommendation. Shopping at the Chatuchak Weekend Market I was lucky that my first day in Bangkok was a Sunday, which means the famous Chatuchak Market was open. The market is open every week from Friday to Sunday. On Fridays from 6 to 12 and on Saturday and Sunday from 9 to 9 Chatuchak Market is the biggest market of its kind in the world and definitely one of the top things to do in Bangkok. While walking around aimlessly is fantastic, you never know what kinds of treasures you might find, there is also a very convenient app to find your way around the market. You can search for shops and other facilities by category, and the in-app map will guide you from your current location to the destination. Everything at the Market is super cheap, and so I really couldn’t stop myself from buying a natural lemongrass soap for 80 bahts and some beautiful trousers for 100 bahts 3 US dollars!. The vendors are accommodating but not pushy at all which is great if you just want to browse and see what’s on offer. Get a foot massage at Good Massage you can’t leave Thailand without getting a Thai massage. After walking for a couple of hours in the narrow streets and the heat, I got tired. A foot massage at a time like this was the perfect remedy. There are many massage parlors throughout the city, I found mine via the useful Chatuchak Market App and paid 250 bahts 8 US dollars for a one hour foot, head, and shoulder massage. A one-hour foot Thai massage costs the same, and as far as I could see all the shops have exactly the same prices. But the level of comfort might be different air conditioning, chairs, and wifi are all things you might want to consider. A Thai full body massage is also a good idea and is available in most massage parlors. But know this. A Thai massage is very different from your regular soft and soothing rubbing massage, this is more about manipulating your body and getting all the cracks out of your system. I’ll be honest and say it’s not always a relaxing experience, but you will feel amazing after. What to eat at Chatuchak Weekend Market There is so much delicious-looking food at the weekend market. I had my first but not my last mango with sticky rice of my visit. It was delicious! For lunch, I went to the food court and had delicious Pad Thai and Tom Yum fried rice. It was freshly prepared, super cheap and so yummy. There are proper restaurants around the market, but I recommend you eat at the food court, sitting on a plastic chair and eating from a plastic plate. It is way cheaper and the atmosphere is entirely different. I also wanted to try the coconut ice cream that was on offer everywhere, but after lunch, I was so full I couldn’t possibly eat any more — an excellent reason to revisit Bangkok, don’t you think. Visit Chinatown I asked one of my Thai friends for a food recommendation, and she suggested I check the food in Chinatown. So, I tried to get a taxi from Chatuchak Market to Chinatown, but the taxi drivers who wait around at the exits of the market are there to rip off tourists, and I couldn’t find a single one who was willing to turn on their meter. They also wanted between 200 and 300 bahts for a distance I knew wouldn’t even cost 100. I said thanks, but no thanks, and took the metro which was better anyway because I could avoid the crazy traffic of Bangkok. Chinatown Gate I got off at Hua Lamphong Station the central railway station in Bangkok and walked the short way to Chinatown. The great Chinese gate was my first stop. After a couple of pictures, I headed into the heart of Chinatown, where you can get a wide variety of Chinese and Thai street food. Eat Lobster for dinner If you can afford it, I recommend you have dinner at one of the seafood restaurants in China town for example Jumbo Lobster. As the name suggests, they sell humongous lobsters seriously I had never seen such big lobsters before. I can’t afford lobster for dinner, but I still drank in the atmosphere at one of these restaurants, ordering some fried rice and fresh coconut and watching the lobsters be prepared in different ways grilled or topped with cheese and baked . . . Another thing to do in Bangkok on my next visit! If you are a foodie, a Chinatown food tour may be right up your street. Day 2 – Grand Palace and Temples On day 2 it is time to explore some culture in Thailand which can be found abundantly in the old town area of Bangkok. A visit to the Grand Palace and Wat Pho, as well as some of the other famous temples in Bangkok, are all possible in one day. I started my day at a typical Thailand style cafe with some real Thai breakfast. Hia Tai Kee is where the locals have their morning coffee, but they do have pictures of their menu, and therefore it was very foreigner-friendly. The iced mocha was delicious and abundant, and it fit perfectly with the breakfast, a plate filled with sausages, toast, an egg, and a small salad. A visit to the Grand Palace After this rich breakfast, I was ready to explore the Grand Palace. As I already mentioned above, I took a taxi to the site and the first person who talked to me already wanted to scam me. But not with me. I ignored him and went to the Palace, which was open to visitors. At least to those who were willing to pay the ticket price of 500 bahts. I was shocked at the price, at least at first. But the ticket includes not only the entrance fee to the Grand Palace but also a 30-minute classical dance performance at the Thailand National Theater, which I decided also to attend that day. The is also the option of a ticket that includes entry to Vimanmek Palace and Abhisek Dusit Throne Hall. Alternatively, you can book a guided tour in advance. This is also a nice way to avoid any potential scams, such as the ones I mentioned earlier. The Grand Palace was, well, grand. There is no other word for it. It is an impressive area of buildings, temples, and roofed over corridors with beautiful paintings, mosaics, and carvings. You can spend hours walking around the area and finding new things to discover around every corner. Unfortunately, you are not alone in doing so. Even in the heat, it was crowded like crazy. It is home to Wat Phra Kaew or Wat Phra Si Rattana Satsadaram to give it its full name, a large temple complex that is ais regarded as the most sacred Buddhist temple in Thailand. In English, the name translates to the Temple of the Emerald Buddha. It is one of the best highlights of the tour. By the way, the dress code is strict, and men and women are advised to wear long trousers and shirts that cover the shoulders no shorts or tank tops. This is enforced at the entrance, and you will be turned away or given clothing to change into if your dress isn’t deemed appropriate. Grab the river ferry across the Chao Phraya River From the Grand Palace, I walked the way to the ferry crossing over the Chao Phraya River to Wat Arun. You can also take a Tuk-tuk if you don’t feel like walking, just make sure you agree on a price before you get on. The public ferry crossing over the river cost a total of 4 baths 13 cents, and it was quite lovely to see the city from the river. Visit Wat Arun Temple Wat Arun, the temple of the dawn, is worth a visit not only because of its location directly at the riverside but also because of its unique and stunning design. Unfortunately, on the day of my visit, it was closed for some kind of ceremony at many monks were attending. I got to snap some pictures from outside, at least. And if you want to dress up in typical Thai clothing, called Chut Thai, to take some pictures with the Wat Arun temple in the background, you can. Discover Wat Pho My visit to the first temple was shorter than expected, and I was back on the other side of the river in no time. That left me enough time to visit Wat Pho where you can see the golden reclining Buddha. At 46 meters long it is an imposing statue. Don’t forget to take a picture of its feet. Trust me. The ticket price to enter Wat Pho temple grounds is 100 bahts a little over 3 dollars and included a small bottle of water. If you asked me, I think every entrance fee in Bangkok should include a small bottle of water. In the heat, you really need it to avoid a heat stroke. A few more temples in Bangkok to visit Of course, Wat Pho and Wat Arun are just two of the more popular temples in Bangkok, but that is bearly scratching the surface, there are so many more to discover. Here are a few more to consider if you have a longer stay or would like a few different choices Wat Saket Temple Temple of the Golden Mount – Perched on an 80-meter-tall manmade hill, the temple welcomes worshippers year-round. there are 300-steps to get to the top of Wat Saket, but they are well maintained and the view is worth Ratchanatdaram Woravihara Loha Prasat – Close to The Golden Mount, Wat Ratchanatdaram is an intricate temple with an iron roof made of 37 spires signifying the 37 enlightenment virtues of BuddhismWat Benchamabophit Dusitwanaram – The elaborate stepped-out roofs and ornate gables really make this temple stand out. Wat Benchamabophit is also known as The Marble Temple, it is well known in Bangkok and is a major tourist attraction. Take in a show at the Thai National Theatre From Wat Pho, I walked to the Thailand National Theater to watch a performance of Kohn, the masked dance drama. Or at least a 30-minute adaptation with English explanations in the form of subtitles displayed over the stage. It was quite entertaining with the exotic dance, bright costumes, and interesting music, and the entry was included in my Grand Palace ticket price, so there was nothing to lose. Unfortunately, the temperature in the theater felt like it was below freezing point. And even though I always wear long trousers and I had a cardigan with me I was frozen solid after 30 minutes. Enjoy dinner at Supanniga Eating Room The last highlight of the day was a delicious meal at Supanniga Eating Room. From the rooftop, you can see the party and dinner cruises floating by on the river and the beautifully lit up Wat Arun. The experience was high class but surprisingly more affordable than I had expected. For two people we paid 1200 bahts 40 USD. Even on a budget trip around the world, I want to splurge sometimes. And that dinner was a very lovely luxury. Is it strange to return to a 3 dollar a night bed after a 20 dollar dinner? Maybe. But that’s totally what I did. Test the Bangkok nightlife If you want to continue into the early hours, Bangkok is not shy about coming forward in its nightlife. There are many wonderful rooftop bars with live music and of course but I have to also mention Soi Cowboy. While it’s not really my thing, it is probably the most famous sight in Bangkok and has featured in many movies including The Hangover 2 and Bridget Jones The Edge of Reason. It is a small street, around 150 meters long with more than 30 mostly go-go bars packed into it. The atmosphere is pretty wild and has been described as “the place morality and decency forgot” and mostly populated by travelers and ex-pats. If you are looking for the seedy side of Bangkok, the area is within walking distance from the BTS Sky train Asok Station and the Bangkok MRT’s Sukhumvit Station. Day 3 – Ayutthaya Day Trip When I’m in a city for 4 or 5 days, I love to try and include a day trip to explore a little further away. In fact, this time I included an overnight, so I was returning to Bangkok the following day. There are many day trips from Bangkok you can consider Rose GardenThe Floating Markets in Damnoen SaduakAmphawa floating marketKoh Si ChangSamut PrakanKanchanaburiAnd many more Damnoen Saduak Floating Market is the most famous floating market in Thailand that is great for photo shooting. If you want the best trip from Bangkok, this should be on your list the market is very lively and beautiful. However, my recommendation out of all of the alternatives is Ayutthaya. It is easy and cheap to get to and just dripping in history. If you also decide to stay overnight recommended You can easily bolt on a visit to the monkey temple in Lopburi, one of my favorite places ever. Rent a bike and explore the temples The best way to explore the city is by bicycle. At my accommodation, I could borrow a bike for free, but even if your accommodation doesn’t have bicycles, you can rent them for a very low price at every corner. Being the old capital of Thailand boasts countless beautiful temples and ruins throughout the sprawling Ayutthaya National Park. And if you have the time and money to visit them all I recommend you do so. If you only have one day you might want to prioritize. During my trip I visited the following temples Wat Mahathat Most famous for the banyan tree that over the course of hundreds of years has grown around a Buddha’s head. Probably the most photographed image of Ratchaburana Designed similarly to Wat Mahathat next door but in a much better condition, and less visited. Therefore it is much better for taking Lokayasutharam Home to the reclining Buddha of Ayutthaya. Different from the one in Bangkok, because it is made from stone and lying in the open rather than being housed in a gigantic hall. If you would like to know more about the park, check out my Ayutthaya National Park guide. A few other things to do include a short visit to the Petch Fortress, a stroll and maybe dinner at the lively Ban Lan Night Market, and just 30 mins or so by train you’ll find the Monkey temple in Lopburi. How to get from Bangkok to Ayutthaya There are multiple ways to get from Bangkok to Ayutthaya. You can take a bus, minivan, taxi, or tour, but the cheapest option is to take the train, and that is what I did. You can see more details in this guide. Ayutthaya Tours from Bangkok If you don’t want to organize your own trip, you can also participate in an Ayutthaya day tour from Bangkok. I recommend checking out the From Bangkok Ayutthaya Day Tour by Bus & Boat on Get Your Guide. What to eat in Ayutthaya Aside from the Thai food that you can get anywhere in Thailand, there are a couple of local delicacies that originated there and that you simply have to try during your one day in Ayutthaya. Boat noodles The name boat noodles’ comes from the boats these noodles used to be sold from. Nowadays the only boat they come into contact with is the ones put in restaurants for decoration. Boat noodles are a strongly flavored noodle soup made from pork and beef served with pork meatballs and liver. The dish is served in a small bowl and to get really full, most order at least 2 to 5 bowls. I had two bowls of noodles at Pa Lek Boat Noodle and they were delicious! Roti Saimai Roti Saimai is Ayutthaya’s cotton candy. But it is better than cotton candy because it comes in crazy colors and is served in a sweet roti an Indian style crepe. I tried very hard to buy one in the morning on my second day in Ayutthaya. But even though I visited the area that is famous for many Roti Saimai stands they typically only open in the evenings and I was not able to try any. Where I stayed in Ayutthaya I stayed at the Ray Nu Guest House. A private room with a shared bathroom costs about 13 US dollars here. It comes with WIFI and a very simple kitchen for you to use, as well as free bicycle rental. The room is air conditioned, spacious, and clean, although the walls are very thin and you can hear what the people in the next room are talking about. You can see more reviews, check availability, and book your stay at Ray Nu Guest House by clicking here. If you are looking for something even cheaper, a dormitory bed at 1301 Hostels Ayutthaya might just be what you are looking for. The reviews are excellent, and from the pictures, this hostel seems very modern, comfortable and well thought through. At 6 dollars a night it isn’t quite as cheap as hostels in Bangkok but definitely a reasonable price for a bed including breakfast. DAY 4 – Return from Ayutthaya and Khao San Road I spent the morning of my third day exploring more of Ayutthaya read the full Ayutthaya itinerary here and headed back to Bangkok at around noon. I arrived back at my hostel in the afternoon. Enough time to explore a little bit more of Bangkok if you aren’t too tired. Khao San Road Kevin Poh from Petaling Jaya, Malaysia – Bangkok’s Khaosan Road Not far from my hostel was the chaos of Khao San Road, the famous backpacker mile where you can buy clothing and knock off t shirts, exotic street food such as grilled crocodile and roasted worms, and cheap beer. The street is lined with bars, and party hostels and everything is loud, flashing, and in my opinion just a little bit too crazy. Surprisingly, everything is also a little bit more expensive than in other parts of the city, so there was really no good reason for me to linger. It was enough to have seen it once. If you are a party backpacker, this is the place to be. If you aren’t, about 15 minutes on Khao San Street will probably be enough for you. Dinner at The Family What I needed was a quiet place to relax that evening, and The Family restaurant is the perfect place to do that. Directly at one of Bangkok’s canals with cozy seating inside and outside and the cutest cats roaming around it was great to end the day here. DAY 5 – GOODBYE BANGKOK With an early flight, I didn’t actually get to do anything on my last day in Bangkok. I slept in, checked out, and made my way to the airport. I used a regular metered taxi and paid almost the same price as I did using Grab. If you still have more time on your last day here are a couple of additional attractions in Bangkok. A river trip I did mention the dinner and party cruises on the Chao Phraya River, right? You could participate in one of them as a memorable evening. There are also other options for a river cruise up and down the river, you could for example simply take a water taxi to another part of Bangkok to get a glimpse of the city from the water. Watch Muay Thai No matter where you go in Thailand you will find Thai kickboxing, called Muay Thai. But the biggest fights happen in Bangkok. If you are into these kinds of sports you shouldn’t miss watching a fight in Bangkok. If you can, the Rajadamnern Boxing Stadium is the home of the sport in Thailand and one of the best places to watch it in Bangkok. You can buy a VIP ticket for a Muay Thai boxing match on Get Your Guide! Shopping in Siam Square On for the shopaholics among you. Siam Square is known as the center of Bangkok and home to many many luxury shopping malls such as Siam Center. If you wanted to break free of the markets and have a bit of a decadent shopping spree, this is the place to do it. While we’re talking about shopping, if it is your thing, you may also enjoy a visit to Siam Paragon Mall. It is one of the largest malls in Thailand and as well as stores are home to a 15-screen cinema, an opera concert hall, the Sea Life Bangkok Ocean World aquarium, and the Thai Art Gallery. It also has a bowling alley and karaoke center! Take a night market The atmosphere in night markets is fantastic and one of the better ones in Bangkok is the Train Night Market Ratchada, a vibrant market with many stalls selling a variety of goods & street food with live music. It is easy to get to on the Bangkok Subway known as the MRT Blue Line. Just get out at the Thailand Cultural Centre and you’re pretty much there. Visit a Museum There are a number of great museums to enjoy in Bangkok that would certainly deserve a place on many itineraries, here are some of the best Jim Thompson House The Jim Thompson House is one of the more quirky tourist attractions in Bangkok. It sits on the Saen Saeb Canal and is a complex of 6 traditional Thai style teakwood houses that have been transported to the center of the city from Ban Krua Silk Village. Jim Thompson was an American businessman who spent over 30 years in the Thai silk industry. Aside from the houses, visitors come for the relaxing garden and the wonderful collection of Bangkok art and antiques. There is an entrance fee of 200 baht around $ Erawan museum While I didn’t get to it on this visit, it is certainly going to be a part of my next trip to Bangkok. Though officially it’s located outside of the city, in Samut Prakan, it’s close to the Bang Na BTS station. Built over three floors topped by a huge elephant sculpture, it is all about the heritage of Thai culture. The first floor represents the underworld, The second floor represents the earth or human world, and the top floor represents the Tavatimsa Heaven, with each floor having exhibits to match the theme. The museum is surrounded by a wonderful tropical garden complete with water features and intricate sculptures. Bangkok National Museum More of a traditional museum, the National Museum is home to extensive exhibits of Thai art and history and is one of the largest in Southeast Asia. Relax and people-watch in a central park Parks are great places to see day to day life, grab an ice cream and kick back to some serious people watching. My recommended choice would be Lumphini Park. It is one of the largest green spaces in central Bangkok, spanning over 500,000 sq m and popular with tourists and residents. From jogging and cycling to more leisurely pursuits such as tai chi or a paddleboat ride on the lake, there is always something to see. If you time it right you may even get to join in with some of the free workouts that happen regularly, just listen out for the pumping techno music and get involved. But Lumphini Park isn’t your only option, here are some other popular parks in Bangkok Chatuchak ParkBenjasiri ParkBenjakitti ParkQueen Sirikit ParkRama IX Park How to get around Bangkok Even though Bangkok is a vast city and traffic sometimes sucks it is relatively easy to get around. Taxis You can hail a taxi from almost everywhere, and if they use their meter, it is quite cheap to get from a to b. Just make sure that they turn it on, or tell them to turn it on if they don’t do it right away. If they refuse, I would insist or get out. It isn’t worth paying what most often is three times the price it should be. Grab Grab is the Asian answer to Uber and another option in Thailand. I used it to get from the Airport to my hostel, and for a more than 25-kilometer long drive had to pay 300 bahts 10 US dollars. For my ride back to the Airport I took a taxi and spent roughly the same price. This tells me Grab isn’t necessarily cheaper than hailing a cab, but it might be more convenient because you don’t have to try to explain to your taxi driver where you want to go. I did, however, experience times when I wanted to use Grab but couldn’t find a driver in Bangkok. In those cases, I found a taxi. If you ever have difficulty explaining where you want to go, it sometimes helps to show them a picture of your destination or tell them a nearby street name. Tuk-tuk Your other option to get around Bangkok is tuk tuks. Especially in the popular tourist spots they are everywhere and will offer their services. They are usually cheaper than a taxi or Grab but make sure you agree on the price with the tuk tuk driver before you get in. Write it down to be 100% sure that you are talking about the same amount to avoid unnecessary confrontation when you arrive. Metro Many people don’t really have this on the radar, but Bangkok has a metro. It is very cheap to use and especially during rush hour a much better option than sitting around in a taxi for long periods of time. Google Maps is your friend. When you search for routes from a to b, it will usually give you public transport options, buses as well as the metro. The BTS Skytrain How about a ride in the air-conditioned, high-speed trains zipping over Bangkok, called the Skytrain? From the train, you have fantastic views of the city from above, which makes it kind of an attraction in its own right, but it is also a convenient way to get from a to b. If you’re spending more than a few days in Bangkok, I’d recommend getting a BTS Skytrain to pass for unlimited travel during your stay. Public buses I didn’t personally take a bus in Bangkok. For one, they are way slower than any other form of transport, and two, it is tough to figure out which bus to take because the information on Google Maps is all written in Thai. With so many other ways of getting around it didn’t really seem worth trying to figure out the public bus system in Bangkok. Tour bus The final choice is the Hop on Hop off tour bus. These are great if you plan to explore the city, I often recommend them for shorter itineraries, but they are also a great way to get your bearings in larger cities. Get a local SIM Card for Thailand The first thing I try to do when I arrive in a new country is to buy a Sim card. In Thailand that is made easy, especially if you arrive at the airport. I purchased a Happy Tourist Sim from dtac, 9 GB of data for 7 days. It only cost 179 bahts US dollars for the Sim card including data. You can also use the card to make local phone calls which I always find very practical. They registered my Sim card for me, and everything was set up within minutes. It’s pretty easy to get a SIM card on arrival, but if you’d rather, You can also purchase a Sim card before your arrival in Bangkok through Get Your Guide. Here is a link to your SIM card on Recommended Bangkok Tours Two of my favorite tour companies, Get your Guide and Civitas, offer different kinds of experiences for your time in Thailand. Here are a couple of different ideas. You could do a tour of the Grand Palace, Wat Pho and Wat Arun with a local guide. That way you will learn much more about the history and culture of Bangkok than on your own. Book your Flexi Walking Temple Tour today! Or how about a midnight food tour? You can try local Thai food while taking in the city by night. An unforgettable experience for sure. Check out the price for the Midnight Food Trip by Tuk-Tuk! Another favorite activity that I did on my trip to Thailand was a Thai cooking class. Although I did mine in Koh Lanta, there are plenty of great options available in Bangkok and if you like cooking, you won’t be disappointed. Where to stay in Bangkok As the capital of Thailand, Bangkok is a bustling metropolis, so it really is no wonder that you have countless accommodation options. In my experience traveling to more than 20 countries in the past half-year, I have to say Bangkok has the cheapest accommodation of them all. A really budget-friendly destination. Airbnb in Bangkok Airbnb in Bangkok is cheap and abundantly available. I just checked for private rooms at a local home, and you can find countless options for as little as 10 US dollars a night. For me, that sounds like a fantastic opportunity to get to know some locals and to see how Bangkok locals really live. If you are new to Airbnb, by using this link, you will get a discount on your first booking. And if you are wondering how to find real locals using Airbnb read my detailed post about it. Hostels in Bangkok I don’t know if where I stayed is the best hostel in Bangkok, but it was definitely amazing value in a great location not on Khao San Street, but not far away either. At Stay With The Mixx there are dorm rooms with shared bathrooms for as little as $5 per night! The beds were more or less clean. There was good WIFI, and the shared bathrooms had hot water and toilet paper. As a backpacker on a tight budget, it’s really an excellent place to stay. Click here to check out Stay With the Mixx on or check out the hundreds of other options on the map below. Cheap Hotels in Bangkok If you were hoping for a private room and a little bit more amenities on a small budget, Bangkok can offer that as well. For example, a single room or standard double room with air-con at Hong Hostel will cost you just 15 US dollars a night including a simple breakfast. The reviews for this hotel are incredible with a score of over 9/10 for many categories including staff, cleanliness, and WIFI. But . . . you may not be on a budget at all, in which case you’ll be blown away by the value on offer. have a browse of the map below and see what you think. Final thoughts on my Bangkok itinerary 5 days Bangkok is a great place to start any trip around Thailand or even Asia. It is an effortless place to visit and can be a wonderful travel experience, but only if you are aware of scams and not too trusting of those trying to sell you something. Bangkok and Thailand in general is an excellent place if you are on a very low budget, as accommodation, transport, and food can be found for the lowest prices I have ever seen. But just because it is a backpacker paradise doesn’t mean it doesn’t have lots of cultural value and great activities to offer. And should Bangkok really be too much for you, maybe you should extend your day trip to Ayutthaya to be a 2 or 3-day trip. Just to recover. This 5 days itinerary in Bangkok will make sure you see everything that you should see as a first time visitor Don’t forget to check out my full post about my Ayutthaya day trip, and how to get to Ayutthaya from Bangkok you can find those posts also in my Thailand Travel blog category.

Bangkok, Thailand is a capital city that people either love or hate. Me? I actually really like Bangkok. I think I’ve visited around 4 times now, and each time there is something new to discover. Yes there is no doubt that Bangkok is over-crowded, manic and a little unclean, but honestly, it all adds to the charm and atmosphere that this city exudes. That being said, people often want to do all the sites of Bangkok, then leave as quickly as possible, but I think you should give it at least 5 days to see it all, and the areas surrounding it. So I present to you my 5 day Bangkok itinerary! Keep reading to plan your Bangkok adventures. Why visit Bangkok, Thailand?Because it’s crazy! Yes that is a reason to visit. But actually, it’s not as “crazy” as other cities I’ve been to Mumbai, I’m looking at you. Bangkok is modern, techy but has some of the most beautiful temples and cultural experiences possible. Whether you want to learn how to cook Thai food, eat countless Thai dishes at one of the MANY Thai food markets, or even watch a traditional Thai boxing match, you’ll find it all in Bangkok. Unless you fly into Chiang Mai, you’ll usually find it impossible to avoid Bangkok altogether on a Thailand trip, and you shouldn’t! Planning the ultimate 5 day Bangkok itinerary So this Bangkok itinerary is based on 5 days because I think that’s enough time to really see all that the capital has to offer and a couple of nearby day trips too. If you wanted to see it all in less, it’s possible, but will be rushed. However, I’ll make some suggestions at the end of this post. Bangkok Itinerary Day 1It’s time to get acquainted with the city. I suggest you start with culture! Bangkok is packed with amazing temples and since it’s so easy to get around Bangkok, either via the boat services, metro or tuk tuks, you’ll be able to achieve a lot in one day. Temples you should see on your first day in Bangkok include Wat Arun Temple of the dawn You should try and get here for sunrise. There will be less people and the light is beautiful. Temple of the Golden Mount Wat Saket I think this is a great temple for later in the day. It offers wonderful views over Bangkok city and there’s a nice little cafe at the top. Wat Pho Temple of the Reclining Buddha This is a massive gold Buddha and it’s very beautiful. There are a variety of other smaller Buddhas and statues in the area, and this is worth a visit. After exploring these temples, head to a night market for a bite to eat, or the Hard rock Cafe. I know you’re probably wondering why I’m suggesting a Hard Rock Cafe, but they have the best live band there called Hubris, and it’s worth visiting for a drink just to see them play. Bangkok Itinerary Day 2 The second day is also going to include temples, but it’s going to include a visit to the most famous temple in all of Bangkok. Visit the Grand Palace This is my favourite spot in Bangkok and should make it on any Bangkok itinerary regardless of how long you stay. Emerald Buddha Wat Phra Kaew This is another wonderful sight among the Grand Palace. Get a Sak Yant Tattoo Okay, I know this is pretty specific and only appeals to those wanting to get a tattoo, but you can get a tattoo the traditional way from one of the most famous monks Who did Angelia Jolies. Anyway, the temple where the tattoos are undertaken is actually very beautiful, and I think it’s worth a visit just for that. Bradley got his tattoo here, so you can read all about it here, or you can just go ahead and book your trip. You can book a combination tour of the Grand Palace and Emerald Buddha right here It’s skip the line too In the evening you can head to the “Sky Bar” in Bangkok which is the famous bar featured in the Hangover 2 for epic views accompanied by delicious cocktails. Try the hangover cocktail...but you may suffer from one P Bangkok Itinerary Day 3 Day 3 should be dedicated to the floating markets of Bangkok! Typically your floating market tour starts around 7 am, so it’s an early start. You’ll visit Damnoen Saduak Floating Market and the really cool Maeklong Railway Market. I highly recommend this tour! After you’ve finished buying souvenirs and having fun at the floating market, you can head back, relax for a little bit, then head out to a Muay Thai Thai boxing match in the evening for some local fun! You can book VIP ringside tickets right here. You can pick up some cute presents! Bangkok Itinerary Day 4 Today will be a day of checking out some of the best museums in Bangkok! Below I’ve compiled a list of the ones I think are National Museum Bangkok Art & Culture CentreMuseum of Siam Samut Prakan Ancient CityIn the evening it’s time to visit the epic Chinatown and eat your heart out! We loved the food in Chinatown, it’s seriously delicious, and there are lots of cheap massage places where you can opt for a famous Thai massage after dinner. If you’re feeling really brave...you can go watch a Ping Pong Show in Patong it’s not for the fainthearted! P Bangkok Itinerary Day 5 Assuming this is your final day and you’ll be heading off to somewhere else, these suggestions can be done in the morning or lunch time. I suggest you check out the beautiful Bangkok Flower market for an epic picture spot, or head to one of the massive malls for a spot of shopping. If you’ve got time you can check out these final two pretty cool temples. They are Wat Suthat and Mariamman Temple which is a cool Hindu Temple.If you want to make the most of your time in Bangkok, you can take tours that will help take you to many of the best sights in a shorter period of time. Below I list you 3 of my favourite tours! Bangkok Instagram Tour If you want to discover all the best and secret Instagram spots in Bangkok, then this is the tour for you. Ayutthaya Ancient City If you’ve got a late flight on your last day, then you should definitely fit this tour on your Bangkok itinerary. Temple Tour This walking tour takes you to the best temples in Bangkok. Other itinerary suggestions 3 days in Bangkok If you’ve got only 3 days in Bangkok, then I suggest you stick to the details I gave on days 1, 2 and 3. This covers the essential things to do and see in Bangkok and you won’t be missing out on anything too important. 2 days in Bangkok Two days will only give you time to do some temple hopping and the chance to see the awesome night markets and maybe a Thai boxing show. Definitely include the Reclining Buddha and Grand Palace on your 2 day Bangkok Itinerary. Where to stay in Bangkok Bangkok is super big and there are a lot of different areas to stay in. I’ve gone into detail on where you should stay on my Bangkok city guide, but I’ll sum it up for you here too. Khao San/ Banglamphu Area Great for backpackers/party goers. Lots of hostel style accommodation here. Bangkok Riverside Great for couples, many mid-range and beautiful hotels in this area Sukhumvit Area Close to all the shopping districts so perfect for those who love to shop till they road Silom Area This is basically the financial/business district, so lots of high rise, classy hotels! We stayed in a great hotel that had a brilliant rooftop hotel. That’s actually my only suggestion Choose a hotel with a rooftop pool if you can. The views at night when you’re sitting in the pool of the Bangkok Skyline are pretty amazing! You can look for all accommodation in Bangkok right for BangkokHonestly, Bangkok can be as cheap or as expensive as you want it to be. You can get hotels for $5-6 a night, and you can get fancy hotels for around $40 of course you can spend a lot more!, but if you stick to street food, or local restaurants, then you’ll not spend a lot on food either. Drinks in Bangkok are fairly cheap and getting around shouldn’t be expensive if you use the metro, Grab or tuk-tuks. You can get to and from the airport via the Sky Train, or you can book a private shuttle driver online for more convenience. It’s not expensive Getting around Bangkok You’ve got a few options when it comes to planning the logistics of your Bangkok itinerary. Grab/ride sharing Super cheap and convenient when getting around Bangkok. The only drawback is you can get stuck in traffic, and there’s no avoiding it. It is the capital city Use the metro and sky trains to get around quickly in Bangkok. This is a cheap option and it’s never usually too far a walk to find the nearest station. Tuk-tuk It’s always fun getting around by Tuk-Tuk, but you’ll have to negotiate on price as they will try and rip you off. I suggest taking whatever price they quote you and half it, then start your work from there. I’m pretty sure you can order tuk-tuks on Grab now too…So there you go! My 5 day Bangkok itinerary.

Smart Ways to Save on Bangkok Attraction Tickets Individual Tickets vs Bangkok Multi-Attraction Pass If you are planning to visit attractions in Bangkok, consider purchasing a Bangkok Multi-Attraction Pass instead of buying individual tickets.

Where to Stay in Bangkok For the best accommodation, below are my most recommended hotels to stay in Bangkok. These hotels are situated near BTS stations, shopping malls, and eateries. Holiday Inn Bangkok For those who want to be near Chit Lom and Siam BTS stations, this hotel is a great choice. Not only that but this is also 5 minutes away from the top shopping malls such as Central World and Siam Paragon. Centara Watergate Pavillion Hotel This hotel is very near to Pratunam Market and Platinum Fashion Mall. Just a 5-minute walk to Siam Paragon Mall and Central World Shopping Complex. ibis Bangkok Siam This hotel is very close to MBK and Siam Paragon shopping mall. It’s also located next to the National Stadium station. This BTS station allows you to easily ride BTS Skytrain to visit other places in the city. Thailand SIM Card Just in case you do not know, it’s quite difficult to get a free Wi-Fi connection in Bangkok. That’s why it’s advisable that you get a Thailand prepaid SIM card ahead of time. You can book here for the prepaid SIM card before you kick-start your vacation. This is actually what we did during our trip to the city. Why Use Local Prepaid SIM Card It allows you to navigate around the city via Google Maps easily. It lets you check the precise train route from time to time while travelling. It gives you the chance to use Grab. Having a local SIM card is needed because the driver needs to call you beforehand to confirm the pickup location. This is something that you should take note of when planning out your itinerary for Bangkok. Why Book the SIM Card Online Online reservation offers you up to 50% discount compared to buying it directly at the airport. It’s easy for you to pick up the SIM card at the counter of Suvarnabhumi Airport or Don Muang Airport. Bangkok Transportation Guide 1. BTS Skytrain and Metro MRT The best way to get around Bangkok is by taking the BTS Skytrain and Metro MRT. This transport option lets you skip the traffic jam and save your travel time. You can purchase the train ticket from the ticket vending machines located in each station. Hence, you just buy the tickets every time you need to ride a train. If you have a BTS Skytrain Rabbit Card, you can also use this. However, this is only applicable for BTS Skytrain. It can’t be utilized when riding the MRT. On the good side, this particular card comes with pre-loaded 200 Baht. To check the train route, I recommend that you utilize Google Maps. This gives you the shortest route to reach your preferred destination. 2. Grab Unfortunately, taxi scams in Bangkok are quite common. Some drivers do not use their taxi meter so they charge tourists a higher, fixed price. Because of this, I encourage you to use Grab for safety purposes. The rates of this transport service are also reasonable, so nothing to worry about. 3. Airport Transfers My most recommended choice when it comes to travelling from the airport to a hotel is via private airport transfer. It’s because this option offers stress-free transportation. There’s no need to drag your luggage during train transfers. All you have to do is relax and wait for your destination. I booked a private airport transfer during my Bangkok trip and their service was truly excellent. Plus, the driver was very friendly. They can even send you directly to any hotel in Bangkok. Check out the prices at the below links. AirportsLatest Prices Private Don Muang Airport TransferCheck Price Private Suvarnabhumi Airport TransferCheck Price And if you’re planning to go to Pratunam, don’t forget to consult my Don Muang Airport or Suvarnabhumi Airport article. This will show you the several ways to reach the place from the airports. More so, my top pick in terms of transportation service is still is the private airport transfer. Simply because it’s very convenient. So, we have reached the end part of my itinerary. Thank you so much for taking your time to read my entire guide.
