Bangkok is a huge, vibrant city; seeing everything there could take a lifetime. However, some experiences are best tried sooner.
If you’re considering renting a spacious Bangkok serviced apartment, Bangkok Garden is the perfect place to be close to all the vibrancy and color of the city. It offers convenience, comfort, and a garden lifestyle in the heart of the city.
We offer our one-day tour of Bangkok, which will give you an idea of what the city offers and may convince you to take the plunge and relocate to this modern city.
For the best tour experience, start early, because you’ll want to spend more time at certain places.
Fuel Up: Bangkok’s Coffee Culture Revolution
Bangkok has countless specialty cafes serving Northern Thai coffee beans and the latest modern coffee blends. One of the best is Gallery Drip Coffee, right across from Siam Discovery Center.
You can also sample the affordable range of brews from market street vendors on practically every corner.
Start Strong: Traditional Thai Breakfast
Start the morning before your one perfect day in Bangkok with a visit to Nang Loeng Market, Bangkok’s oldest traditional market, close to the Sunam Luang area of town. Browse among the food stalls and choose a Thai breakfast of jok (rice porridge) or khao man gai (chicken and rice) to fortify you for the adventures to come. The market is favored by food tours for the flavor and variety of authentic dishes it offers.
Cultural Deep Dive: Jim Thompson House Museum
In the same neighborhood as Gallery Drip Coffee is the must-see Jim Thompson House Museum. This museum provides a glimpse into one of Bangkok’s last remaining traditional Thai wooden houses.
Jim Thompson was an American expat who revitalized the Thai silk industry. His home is preserved as a homage to his economic and cultural contributions to Thailand. The museum offers hourly guided tours through the lush, pond-studded gardens and authentic interiors.
Experience Lunch Excellence: Bangkok’s Famous Fried Chicken
As lunchtime quickly approaches, experience legendary gai tord (fried chicken) across the street from Lumphini Park at Polo Fried Chicken. Order your lunch with the traditional sides of sticky rice and deep-fried garlic and experience the way Thais enjoy their favorite comfort food.
Afternoon Stroll: Experience a Lumphini Park Escape
After lunch, walk across the street and enjoy a stroll through Lumphini Park, Bangkok’s oldest city park. The park has wide paths around a large lake, brilliantly colored flowers, lush foliage, and mature trees. Be sure to say hello to all the lazy monitor lizards sunning themselves along the water’s edge. You can also watch local residents practice graceful Tai Chi moves in the park.
Sunset Spectacle: Wat Arun Temple Climb
As the sun begins to sink in the west, take a ferry across the Chao Phraya River to climb the steep stairs of the Temple of the Dawn (Wat Arun). Learn the proper dress codes and guidelines for respectful behavior before you do. You’ll be rewarded with breathtaking Bangkok sunset vistas.
This is one of the most desirable places in the city for golden hour photography, and it provides stunning views of the river.
Evening Feast: Chinatown’s Food Paradise
The Chinatown area of Yaowarat is home to one of the most famous nighttime street food districts in Bangkok. Two of the standouts are:
- T&K Seafood offers an electric atmosphere and great seafood. Try the grilled prawns, tom yum soup, and lemongrass mussels to learn how these dishes are supposed to taste.
- Michelin-recognized treats: End the day of touring Bangkok with delicious custard-dipped dough from Pa Tong Go Savoey.
