Bangkok "Amazing Thailand"

Sunset view of Wat Arun

Wat Arun, is one of the 31200 most popular buddhist temple spread around Thailand. Your Bangkok travel is not complete without a single picture from Wat Arum. Thailand is one of the best tourist destination in the world. Which  Rank top 10 by World tourism ranking. 




The Grand Palace


The Grand Palace is a complex of building located at the heart of Bangkok Thailand. This building is also the official residence  of the King of Thailand. King's family is the most respected people in Thailand .You can see the King's photo all over the billboard in the city. Actually there is a law in Thailand that you cannot say any "bad words" to the king's family or else you go to jail.

I travel to Bangkok during the Martial Law period. I see a lot of army and tank patrolling in the entire city during that time .

                       Don't forget to visit  the reclining buddha at the Wat Pho Temple a few minutes taxi ride from Grand Palace.

Damnoen Floating Market is the first and biggest floating market in Thailand. Located at the south of Bangkok. Travel time is almost two hours  from Bangkok. Renting taxi going to  floating market is very expensive around 2000 bath and also boat renting is 2000 bath. I suggest to come here with a group so that you can save your  money.
