Bangkok
|
|
Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, is the spiritual, political, and economic center of the country. It is also a major economic center of Southeast Asia and one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. Constructed in the 18th century, this City of Angels is the largest city in Thailand with a population of 10 million and over 400 cultural heritage sites of spiritual and historical importance. Day-to-day life is deeply ingrained in rich traditions, with its metropolitan lifestyle mixed with lively markets and treasured temples.

Gems Factory
|
|
|
With Thailand being the gems-cutting center of the world, a visit to the Gems Factory is most recommended. There are many gem markets in Bangkok and it is therefore advisable to shop at more well established and reputable stores to ensure quality of purchase.

Grand Palace
|
|
|
Close by to the Temple of Emerald Buddha is the Grand Palace, which serves as the symbol of the Thai royal family and is the most important archeological symbol in Thailand. This was the official residence of the king of Thailand up until the mid-20th century when King Bhumibol moved the residence to Chitralada Palace. Today, it is often the chosen location for state ceremonies. Built in 1877 by King Rama V, the Grand Palace compound housed the Borom Phiman Mansion and The Siwalai Garden, among many others. Visitors are required to dress in appropriate attire when entering the Grand Palace.

Damnoen Saduak Floating Market
|
|
|
Damnoen Saduak Floating Market is another one of the great many attractions in Bangkok, Thailand. Streaming over a small canal are gondola-like boats guiding tourists through the experience of old traditions, local-life cultures, as well as commerce activities. Locals barter and trade merchandise on their long boats along the canal. Vying and competing for the attention of customers, boating retailers stop to offer many bargains. The trip to the floating market is an ideal itinerary to get a peek into local life.

Ayutthaya
|
|
|
Ayutthaya is the ruins of the old city destroyed by the Burmese army. It is designated as an UNESCO World Heritage site, and has many temples of distinct Thai style.

Temple of the Emerald Buddha
|
|
|
The Temple of Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaeo or Wat Phra Si Rattana Satsadaram) is the most important and sacred Buddhist temple in Thailand. Built in 1782 at the founding of the city, the temple houses an emerald-colored Buddha statue, which in reality is made of jade and not emerald. The statue is placed high up in the temple and the interior of the temple is adorned with murals depicting stories of Buddhist traditions. There are many figures of religious importance throughout the compound. The temple’s spiritual significance makes it the number one attraction in Bangkok, along with Wat Pho and Ayutthaya.
