Edit this paragraph Bangkok, Thailand Feel the beat of the city
Anyone who has been to Thailand must have visited Bangkok. For self-help tourists, it is necessary to revisit the old place. The time schedule is 2 nights and 3 days. The unique Thailand tiaosao market
For the traditional classic tourist projects in Bangkok, such as the Big Buddha Temple, the Grand Palace and the night tour of the Mekong River, we can selectively look at them according to our personal needs. However, if it is not the first time to visit Bangkok, it is suggested that we focus on feeling the atmosphere and culture of the city. Nightlife is an indispensable part of Bangkok. Visiting PATPONG in the Night Street is a program for many tourists. Remember to bargain hard when shopping here, and just cut it half or 3% off. Bar is one of the windows to experience a city's culture. It is not recommended to go to a bar near the night street. The bar with the largest number of local people and foreign tourists is in ROCHADA, Bar Street, drinking beer in the open air, listening to singers singing English songs and having a leisurely night. For self-tourists in Bangkok, the real shopping excitement is in the flea market. Southeast Asian route design experts suggest that tourists should put Bangkok on Saturday or Sunday, because the local flea market CHATUCHAKE is only open on these two days. It is a great pity not to come here. This is a treasure hunt paradise that locals, especially young people, like, and it is also a place that tour groups will not reach. The flea market has a large area, and handicrafts, costumes, furniture, etc. are readily available. This is a place to find surprises. In addition to finding distinctive and amorous feelings here, you can also feel the aesthetic taste of the local people. [4]
Intimate tip
Transportation: It is recommended to take a taxi for sightseeing in Bangkok. The car rental is not expensive, and it takes about half an hour to get to the flea market from downtown, which is equivalent to about RMB 25~3 yuan. You can also take the local overhead crane (a kind of transportation in the air) to the main shopping spots in the city.
Entertainment
Language: In Thailand, English is generally acceptable, but taxi drivers don't necessarily know English. It's best to ask the waiter to write all the places you want to go in Thai before you leave, in case you meet a driver who doesn't know English. Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai Mountain Scenery
The Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai lines in the north are completely different mountain cities from Bangkok. Chiang Mai is the ancient capital of Thailand, a famous historical and cultural city, which was built in 1296. As the capital of Lanna Dynasty, it was the religious, cultural and commercial center of Thailand until the 16th century, and most of its city walls have been preserved to this day. The four corners of the city gate, the moat flowing around the city, and the high-legged wooden buildings in northern Thailand are all vivid. The main attractions in Chiang Mai include Shuanglong Temple and Tai Huang Summer Palace. [5] ChiangRai is the northernmost capital of Thailand, located at the junction of Thailand, Laos and Myanmar, and is the starting point of the famous Golden Triangle. Chiang Rai, a quiet and simple town, is the main road leading to the northern mountainous areas. Simple mountain villages and romantic Mekong River constitute the main scenery of Chiang Rai. Most of the ethnic minorities living here have moved to Thailand from Laos, Myanmar and China for hundreds of years, including the Yi, Miao and Aka ethnic groups. Intimate reminder: the traffic can go directly from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai by bus, which takes about 3 hours. There is also a bus from Bangkok to Chiang Rai, which takes about 12 hours. In addition, there are also inland flights arriving in Chiang Mai. To explore the Golden Triangle, you can rent a narrow boat from Chiang Rai Town and sail slowly along the Mekong River. The pastoral scenery and distant mountains on the way are pleasing to the eye.
