1. Dusit Zoo This is the Bangkok Zoo. The entrance fee seems to be 100 baht. There are many animals that cannot be seen in China, such as tapirs. You can also get up close to giraffes, hippos, cows, sheep, and horses, and you can touch a giraffe’s head! It is comparable to domestic wildlife parks.
2. Amphawa Floating Market. This is less than two hours’ drive from Bangkok. It is recognized by travelers as the most fun floating market, better than those famous night markets in Bangkok. There is also a Maeklong Railway Market next to Amphawa, which you can also visit together.
3. Seafood! A crab with claws as big as my hand costs only 200rmb at Siam Paragon! It is one third of the domestic price, highly recommended.
4. Food Of course, we also recommend many snacks and delicious food. You can check out Taiwanese travel forums. There are many posts recommending authentic Bangkok food. For example, there is a famous restaurant that sells pork knuckle rice for only 10 yuan, and it cost us 40 yuan for the two of us to die.
5. Various temples and the Grand Palace. I once saw an Indian temple in Bangkok, which was so beautiful. I have never been to the paid temple or the Grand Palace. There are so many free ones, and there are temples all over Bangkok, so it’s not necessary.
6. There are many bars on Khao San Road, where foreign tourists gather. In addition, there are many bars in Silom.
7. Water Splashing Festival Bangkok is very suitable for the Water Splashing Festival because the weather is hot and there are many people and it is not easy to get sick. You know, many people throw ice water at them! Songkran Festival is April 13-15.
8. Museums There are many museums in Bangkok with quite good facilities. I have been to the Siam Museum, which can give me a good understanding of the history of Thailand.
