    The Grand Palace is one of Bangkok’s most stunning and historic landmarks. Its golden temples, detailed architecture, and peaceful courtyards create a magical atmosphere. The Temple of the Emerald Buddha inside is absolutely breathtaking. It’s a must-visit place for culture, history, and photography lovers.Go early to avoid crowds and wear proper dress (shoulders & knees covered). A truly unforgettable experience in the heart of Bangkok!

    Booking the ticket on Trip.com is much cheaper than buying the ticket upon arrival. It’s easy to change the voucher for the entry ticket. It’s worth a visit definitely. We book a private car from Bangkok, it took is around 1hour to reach the Ancient City.

    SEA LIFE Bangkok is a great place to visit, especially if you’re traveling with kids. The aquarium is large, well-organized, and has many impressive displays, from the glass tunnel to the shark zone. It’s a bit busy during peak hours, but overall a fun and memorable experience right in the center of the city.

    Actually, I knew that all of them were lip-syncing before I came, but just to see the dance and listen to the songs, the ticket price was worth it. And unlike what I expected, their songs and dances were really rich in variety, with grand momentum, Chinese style, sexy leather pants style, melodramatic plot, Thai and Korean traditional style, etc.

    Great event. I’m not a boxing fan at my part is but I thoroughly enjoyed it as well. A really good spectacle. Would definitely advise booking the seating section, section 2 I think. I also have somebody that comes around and will take drink and food orders for you so you don’t have to go up and get them. A really excellent event.

    The Mahanakhon Skywalk is absolutely stunning! It’s not just about the famous glass floor — the real highlight is the breathtaking 360-degree view of Bangkok. From the top, you can see the entire city in all its beauty, especially during sunset and nighttime. The experience feels truly extravagant and unforgettable. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Bangkok!
