What to Do in Bangkok in 3 Days

Bangkok Essentials: A 3-Day Travel Guide

Discover the Best of Bangkok in 72 Hours

A span of 3 days in Bangkok isn’t long, but it’s enough to let you appreciate most of the things Bangkok has to offer. Exquisite temples like the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, the Temple of Dawn (Wat Arun), and the grandeur of the Grand Palace are among the must-see attractions that you can visit in three days.

Think you’ve seen it all before? Perhaps it’s time to do something different. One example is cycling around Bangkok’s unknown (but safe) spots. It’s a fun, healthy, and fresh experience, which can excite even the most jaded of travelers.

Start off day 1 by visiting Bangkok’s main attractions. The Grand Palace, Temple of the Emerald Buddha, and Wat Arun (the Temple of Dawn) are absolute musts. Even though these wats (temples) are situated close to one another, taking an organized tour comes highly recommended, especially for the city’s first-timers and those with limited time.

For a glimpse of the bygone days of Bangkok, Bangkok khlong or canal tours are a perfect way to experience the former “Venice of the East.” Make your first night here one to remember, and go paint the town red by visiting the city’s hottest nightlife spots like Silom, Sukhumvit, or RCA. Leia mais
