Best time to visit Bangkok
Thailand has a summer monsoon season and a dry, mild winter, thus most visitors arrive between November and February. Consider traveling during the Summer months if you love warm but damp weather and dirt-cheap pricing! In addition, the fierce, epic monsoon rains are a sight to see.
One thing you can always count on is that you won’t need to carry extra warm clothing since Bangkok is warm all year. So ditch the bulky sweater in favor of the second pair of flip flops before embarking on your journey!

However, if you prepare ahead of time, you can see all of the major attractions in Bangkok in three days. To give you a general idea, check out the BKK itinerary down below. The whole city is readily accessible via tuk-tuk, cab, Skytrain, boat, and foot. The journey, especially in the case of Tuk-Tuks and river ferries, is an integral part of the experience!
Follow our Bangkok itinerary to learn how to tour the city in three days or less without missing out on the must-sees and spectacular destinations! There is no need to follow any particular sequence; just choose whatever appeals to you the most!
Day 1 - Bangkok Itinerary
Chatuchak Weekend Market | Wat Pho | Grand Palace | Temple of Dawn | Thai Massage
Stop 1 – Take a stroll around the Chatuchak Weekend Market.
- Why it’s awesome: It has everything! A shopping and browsing experience unlike any other.
- Cost: The market is free, and the goods are largely offered at local rates.
- Food nearby: Grab some street food from a seller as you wander through the booths — there are many to choose from!
This, of course, works best as your first stop if you’re in Bangkok for the weekend, but even if you’re not, make time for it! The Chatuchak Weekend Market offers everything – food, clothes, art, and antiques – with 15 000 vendors spread over 35 acres. It’s a good idea to set aside a few hours to spend here since there’s so much to see and do.
The booths are packed together, and the sound of bartering fills the air — if you need a break, go to the outside stalls and buy some coconut ice cream or pineapple on a stick.
The costs are modest, but they are frequently raised to take advantage of naïve visitors, so don’t be afraid to bargain! Many people like the back-and-forth and see it as an insult if you don’t haggle. If you’ve never haggled before, our How To Haggle guide will come in handy.
The market is a fantastic cultural experience that warrants a position on our Bangkok itinerary.
You’re sure to leave with a few souvenirs for the family and a new respect for Thai street food.
Day 1 / Stop 2 – Wat Pho
- Why it’s fantastic: At 46 meters, the gold-plated Reclining Buddha at Wat Pho is a sight to see.
- It’s also the oldest and biggest temple complex in Bangkok!
- Cost: 200 Baht ($6.3) per person.
- Food nearby: Try some Thai sweets and tea at ViVi The Coffee Place, which has a great view of the river.
- The temple complex is enormous and elegant, and it has Thailand’s greatest collection of Buddha statues as well as four chapels. Buddhist tourists frequently put toys, candies, or a beverage with a straw at the feet of the sculptures, for when the gods are thirsty.
The temple complex, Thailand’s first public education facility, is now the national headquarters for traditional Thai medicine preservation and education. The golden Reclining Buddha is 15 meters high and 46 meters long, and it fills the space!
Wear shoes that can be quickly removed for the first day of your BKK schedule — you’ll need to if you want to access the temples. Wear apparel (including a scarf) that covers your shoulders and knees! If they believe your outfit is disrespectful, you will most likely be refused access to the Wats.
Insider Tip: You may walk between these locations, or take a 40 Baht ($1.26) boat that passes by several temples and stops at the greatest.
Day 1 / Stop 3 – The Grand Palace
- Why it’s fantastic: Thailand’s architectural emblem, the sumptuous Grand Palace, serves as the country’s religious, ceremonial, and spiritual core.
- Cost: 500 Baht ($15.73) per person
- Nearby restaurants: Cho Prathum Thong Restaurant and Beer Garden is a great place to relax your feet and dine.
This is the ideal next destination, just a 10-minute walk from Wat Pho! The Grand Palace is one of the top things to do in Bangkok and should not be missed. Take a stroll around its wide-groomed garden and attractive buildings to witness some of Thailand’s most stunning architecture, sculptures, and art. It will wow you!
Although not everything in the Grand Palace is exposed to guests, it remains one of the favorite tourist sites due to the spectacular scenery!
The Temple of the Emerald Buddha is part of the complex and holds Thailand’s most revered Buddhist sculpture, crafted from pure green jade. The Royal Pantheon, the Image Hall, a miniature Angkor Wat, and the Bell Tower are all noteworthy. The Grand Palace is unquestionably one of the highlights of our Bangkok tour!
Day 1 / Stop 4 – Temple of Dawn
- Why it’s awesome: This historic temple evokes the beauty and wonder of bygone eras.
- Cost is 50 Baht (1.57)
- Nearby restaurants: Grab some waffles and a cup of coffee from the neighboring cute café.A Summer’s Day
Wat Arun (also known as the Temple of Dawn) is a must-see on every Bangkok itinerary. It’s just a short walk and boat trip from the Grand Palace. Its main staggered spire is 70 meters tall and is adorned with small pieces of colored glass and Chinese porcelain.
It is very breathtaking, and like with the other sites on this day, you should bring your camera!
It is a cultural and religious – not to mention architectural – monument that you will remember for the rest of your life.
The stairs are steep, so if you want to view the whole Wat Arun, plan ahead of time, bring water, and be prepared to devote two to three hours to it. Even if you don’t feel the need to view it in such detail, stop by on your route! You will not be sorry.
Day 1 / Stop 5 – Blind Thai Massage
- Why it’s great: After a long day of walking, a traditional Thai massage will hit all the right points, allowing you to go asleep without the aches and pains of the day.
- Cost: It ranges from 450 to 1800 Baht ($14.16 to 56.64).
- Food nearby: There are hundreds of food vendors along the road where you can get everything you want at a very reasonable price.
While you may be eager to return to your hotel after a long and exciting day, a stop at a massage parlor to indulge in a foot, or full-body, massage will not be regretted.
While any massage in Bangkok is going to be enjoyable, Perception Blind Massage provides something a bit different: they hire the sight handicapped, allowing them to concentrate only on their sense of touch. The indoor design is gloomy, so you may concentrate on the physical experience, just like your massage. You may pick between low, medium, and strong pressure, as well as a variety of massage methods.
Instead of laying in bed whining about your feet, back, and that hip thing that acts up now and then, you’ll sleep like a baby and be ready to face the new day with a fresh list of Bangkok excursions when you wake up.

Day 2 - Bangkok Itinerary
Marble Temple | Thompson House | Museum of Contemporary Art | Golden Mount | Cabaret Show | Khao San Road
Day 2/ Stop 1 – The Marble Temple, Wat Banchamabophit
- Why it’s awesome: The temple is lovely and peaceful, and you’ll most likely be the only visitor there.
- Cost: is 20 Baht (0.63)
- Nearby food: Along the river, vendors serve fruit on a stick, Thai candy, and fried pork.
The Marble Temple, which is on the banks of the Prem Prachakon River, is a contemporary and eye-catching temple. When you go early in the morning, it is quite peaceful and frequently tranquil, and it is less of a tourist destination than many of the other temples. It’s quite tranquil, and it’s a great place to shoot shots without tons of other people in them!
The courtyard has 52 local and international Buddha statues from the courtyard’s building era, about 1900, each in a distinct style and attitude. The temple is beautiful in its own right, with the finely made white marble construction sharply contrasted with the rich red dome and artistic decorations.
Insider Tip: If you’re a morning person, wake up early and leave before the sun comes up!The white marble becomes a beautiful shade of pink, and you’ll be the only one there, praying with the monks.
Day 2 / Stop 2 – Jim Thompson House
- Why it’s awesome: You’ll get new respect for more modern Thai history and art, as well as witness some amazing old treasures.
- Cost: 200 Baht ($6.29), Students: 100 Baht ($3.15), Children: Free
- Food is available nearby: Get some delicious noodle soup from the seller outside, or eat at the in-house restaurant.
The Jim Thompson House Museum, an estate of the late American who pioneered the Thai silk business after WWII, displays a one-of-a-kind and large collection of Asian art. The tropical gardens are lovely and unique, and there is a lot to see and learn about them.
The excursions are intriguing and teach a far larger history of Thailand and the silk trade than you ever imagined you’d want to know. They create an uncommonly quiet experience in the heart of Bangkok’s bustle. The intriguing objects, as well as the enthusiasm of the guides, will keep you interested.
Every day from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., guided tours are available. Thai, English, French, Chinese, and Japanese tours are available. After spending roughly an hour inside the museum, you’ll have much better knowledge and admiration for Thai silk, history, and art.
Insider Tip: No photographs are allowed inside the residence.
Day 2 / Stop 3 – Museum of Contemporary Art
- Why it’s awesome: The art is stunning, alluring, and odd.
- Cost: Students pay 100 Baht ($3.15), while adults pay 250 Baht ($7.87).
- Food nearby: Damrong Noodle Shop is a simple stroll across the river – their beef noodles are ridiculously amazing.
In all the history, take some time to investigate the influences and preoccupations of modern Thailand. The museum displays extraordinary pieces of art gathered by Boonchai Bencharongkul over the last three decades, most of which are by Thai painters.
The distinctiveness of Thailand’s artists is explored and honored via a blend of current traditional-style Thai art and more sophisticated, academic approaches. And you’ll want to join in the fun!
This museum isn’t on everyone’s bucket list, but we think it should be. Thailand has so much more to offer than simply views of its history, and this museum proves it!
Day 2 / Stop 4 – The Golden Mount (Wat Saket)
- Why it’s awesome: You can take in the city vistas while ringing the votive bells!
- Cost: 50 Baht ($1.57).
- Food nearby: Get an iced latte halfway up the hill at Golden Mount Coffee, or some street cuisine at the foot of the temple grounds.
From the summit of Wat Saket, The Golden Mount, watch the sunset over Bangkok. After a lovely trek up the slow-inclined steps, the temple atop a hill gives 360-degree views of the city. The trek demands some effort, but you may go at your speed, and trees provide shade.
When the wind blows, the votive bells chime, and monks’ prayers may be heard through the speakers. There are sculptures and golden buddhas at every bend, making the ascension as spectacular as the final goal.
From the top, you can see how Bangkok’s contemporary environment blends with the old Wats and architecture to create a very unique cityscape. This stop is a peaceful, spiritual haven in the city.
Day 2 / Stop 5 – Take in a Cabaret Show
- Why it’s awesome: It’s the ideal nocturnal vacation, with all the sparkle and glam you can muster while relaxing and enjoying yourself.
- Cost: 900 Baht ($28.32).
- Nearby restaurants: There is an on-site restaurant! You can obtain a lunch plus a theater ticket if you choose.
There’s no reason to slow down in Bangkok once the sun goes down — in fact, we’d advise against it. There’s so much you’d lose out on! Thailand is famous for its ‘ladyboy’ cabaret acts, and there are numerous excellent alternatives in Bangkok. Calypso is recommended simply because it is excellent and well-known.
Rest your aching feet and be ready to be wowed by colorful clothes in every hue of the rainbow and as much glitter as a five-foot drag queen can handle.
The presentations are dynamic and superbly choreographed, and the music is always enjoyable. The performers put forth a lot of effort, and it’s a true art form. Remember, they’re lip-syncing, and it’s cheesy entertainment. You’ll always have a fantastic time; just be prepared for what you’re going to receive!
Day 2 / Stop 6 – Stroll and Shop on Khao San Road
- Why it’s awesome: It’s crowded, bright, and enjoyable, and there are a million items to purchase, all of which are cheaper than what you can get at home.
- Cost: Nothing – just bring some money for shopping.
- Nearby restaurants: There are several street food alternatives to choose from.
Khao San Road is Bangkok’s most popular tourist destination and is significantly more enjoyable than any ordinary retail mall. Stroll along the lengthy road, stopping at everything that appeals to you and bartering with the salesman (always negotiate – they raise the price intending to lower it).
Talk to both visitors and locals, and keep your money in a secure, nearby location, like an inside pocket or fanny pack. Most market-goers are pleasant and helpful, but in a venue as crowded as this, pickpockets are going to take a chance.
Stalls are lighted up in brilliant colors to draw attention to their items, and there is a lot of noise and mayhem. When visiting this location, make sure to wear comfy shoes. The route is longer than you imagine, but it is well worth including on your Bangkok itinerary.
Insider Tip: We usually recommend that people bring just two days’ worth of clothing and purchase the rest at Khao San — you’ll want to anyhow, and this way you’ll have enough room in your suitcase for everything!
Day 3 - Bangkok Itinerary
Thai Cooking Class | Siam Paragon | Bike and Canal Tour | Muay Thai | Royal City Avenue
See how many of these excursions and activities you can squeeze in if you’re staying three days or more! They’re all a lot of fun and will create some wonderful memories.
Thai Cooking Class in Sompong
Discover the culinary history of each dish you prepare. Classes last 5 hours and begin at 10 a.m. every day.When you’re through, you’ll get free access to her recipe book and “how-to” information, so you can always brush up on your abilities.
Take a culinary lesson if you’re staying in Bangkok for more than two days! The lesson is geared for everyone and is highly ‘hands-on’ – you prepare your materials, learn to cook the meal with constant instructions and assistance, and then consume each meal before moving on to the next.
Bring your appetite, enthusiasm, and eagerness to learn! And eat slowly — all of these amazing meals may be too much for you to handle, so unless you’re an athletic eater, reserve part of each dish so you can keep sampling new ones. You may always eat it afterward and marvel at your accomplishment!
Every day is a new culinary menu at Sompong!
Classes are held in the morning and afternoon. If you want to attend Bangkok’s best Thai cooking class, book ahead of time, possibly even before you arrive. Bring a buddy or come alone and share it with the full group since it’s a great wonderful experience to share.
When you have the time, a cooking class in Thailand is unquestionably one of the best things to do. You’ll leave with a better knowledge of Thai culture and cuisine, as well as a belly full of food. And you won’t have to miss out on authentic Thai cuisine since you can make it anytime you want!
Purchase your tickets here before you go.
Siam Paragon
- It’s opulent and sumptuous, and it’s a terrific area to people-watch.
- You’ll find everything you’re looking for, from top brands to live entertainment.
- It’s an extremely pleasant spot to visit while it’s pouring!
We haven’t recommended any malls yet since there are so many more incredible things to do in Bangkok, and shopping at a mall isn’t something that comes to mind when you think of true Thai experiences. But now we have to include it — Siam Paragon is so extravagant, massive, and sumptuous that it is an experience in and of itself.
You’ll have a good time whether you’re looking for current local apparel, trying out the activities in the entertainment section, or simply browsing and seeing what a huge millennial mall in Bangkok looks like on the inside.
It is a magnificent and totally strange environment, unlike any other mall in the world.
If you’re on a tight budget, you may only want to window shop here unless you’re seeking a particular item. You don’t want to spend all of your money in one spot. However, it has everything. The kids will adore it! As would anybody interested in current Thai beauty standards and practices (which is a fascinating subject in and of itself!).
Everything you might desire is available at the food hall and at shockingly low costs!
Bike and Canal Tour
- A guided cycling tour of Bangkok lasting 5 hours.
- Slow down and take in the lively canal-side neighborhoods of central Bangkok.
- All ages are welcome, and bikes, helmets, and bottled water are supplied.
An English-speaking guide walks you around the streets of Bangkok, educating you about ordinary Thai culture and Buddhism as well as pointing out the sites.
This is an excellent chance to get off the beaten path and see regions of Bangkok that are populated by people rather than tourists. The tour guide is patient, involved, and responsible, and they know what they’re talking about.
Whether you travel with friends or by yourself, you’re sure to have a good time meeting new people and exploring. Groups range from 2 to 8 individuals, so you can either join one or form your own! The excursion costs between 1,350 and 13,500 Baht ($42.48 and $424.79) per adult, depending on group size and other criteria. Bring your camera if you want to record those seldom seen scenes, or come without one and enjoy the experience as it is.
Lunch is provided at a canal-side restaurant, where you may take a break from peddling and enjoy the local cuisine. When the trip is over and your legs are tired, the group boards a long-tail speedboat and heads back to the starting site.
While you don’t have to be in great shape to participate in this exercise, you should be healthy and able to bike. The majority of participants are young tourists seeking something new — youngsters may not be interested in riding for a full day, and elderly persons may suffer from the exertion and heat. But it doesn’t mean you’re out! You are aware of your skills.
Master Toddy’s Muay Thai
- You will be training with a true Muay Thai MASTER who has trained martial arts world champions.
- The exercise gives you a sense of strength and self-reliance while still being a lot of fun.
- The gym is fantastic! You’ll get the sensation of becoming a global champion yourself.
Try some Muay Thai if you’re looking for something new and want to burn off some of those noodles and coconut ice cream! Martial arts have been practiced since the mid-nineteenth century! The form is known as “the art of 8 limbs” because it incorporates the use of fists, elbows, knees, and shins.
Master Toddy has over 50 years of Muay Thai expertise. He has trained over 50 World Champions in MMA, Muay Thai, and Boxing, and it is an honor to train with him!
The gym, which is recognized by the Thailand Ministry of Education and the Muay Thai International Association, provides 2-hour individual sessions as well as group courses for all skill levels. You should be in good shape and prepared to sweat! Also, don’t plan anything tough for the next day. You can come out as a bit rigid.
There are also week-long, month-long, and year-long courses available. So, if you fall in love with Bangkok, you may remain and learn to be a Muay Thai fighter!
Will not the people back home be surprised? Children’s self-defense lessons are also available.
You may even take a recognized teachers course if you already know what you’re doing!
But we’re getting ahead of ourselves — if you’re looking for a little fun workout as well as a unique, genuine Thai experience, give it a go.
Insider Tip: If you’re not ready to train but are interested in the sport, be sure to visit Bangkok’s oldest and most famous stadium.
Royal City Avenue by night
- Bangkok’s biggest party strip is an excellent spot to go if you want to party.
- The clubs open early and shut by 2 a.m., but you may continue to party on the street and at pubs until the sun rises.
- Expect a different ambiance than your typical Western party strip, with more Thais than visitors.
- Things are done a bit differently here!
We can’t leave out any nighttime action! If you want to party, get a room at one of Bangkok’s party hostels and go to RCA!
Bring your ID or passport, since most locations will need it. They also charge foreigners an admission fee, so plan ahead of time since you won’t want to try them all. Unless, of course, you’re flush with cash. Then go ahead and start club hopping! It’s also a lot of fun to go down the lively street and have a drink at one of the bars, so scouting out has added advantages.
The government has designated Royal City Avenue as a zone for dancing clubs, full moon parties, rock and roll, and live concerts. It’s also one of the greatest red-light areas in the city!
If you’re searching for a nice party, this is the place to be. The celebrations are more extravagant and loud during any of Bangkok’s festivals!
Several nightclubs are open seven nights a week and open early.Route66 is a hip hop, trance, and live music venue that plays all three in various rooms. The majority of the audience is Thai, and they dress to impress, so if you want to get in, you may have to dress up a bit more than your backpacker’s shorts and shirt. The nightlife scene in Bangkok is typically Thai, which means there will be more drinking than dancing, so come prepared!
For many people, the pubs outdoors are more enjoyable and a better place to meet new people.
They’re also less expensive, and there are no entry fees!
Staying safe in Bangkok
Bangkok, like other cities, has a few safety concerns. Don’t be put off by the intriguing city, but keep the hazards in mind and take measures. That is the most efficient mode of transportation!
If you want to join a tour group, make sure it’s respectable and well-reviewed — there are always a few frauds floating about, but we’re living in the golden era of reviews, so they’re simple to avoid. Keep your cash, credit cards, and passport close to reaching, ideally in an inside pocket or fanny pack rather than a purse or backpack.
Eat at food booths that have other people at them and prepare the food in front of you to prevent getting food poisoning and spoiling your vacation. This way, you can be sure it’s fresh!
And only drink bottled water — the locals do as well, as seen by the inexpensive price of bottled water!
Most essential, avoid using drugs. We realize we sound like an 8th-grade teacher, but Thailand is renowned for imprisoning visitors found with narcotics, imposing long terms in notoriously awful circumstances. So, simply say no while you’re there.
If you’re still worried about your safety, you should read our Bangkok travel safety guide, which is considerably more detailed and packed with recommendations and in-depth information.
