Plan your days

How many days? Find the right amount of time

Essential Bangkok

2 days minimum

Bangkok + beyond

5+ days

A five-day rhythm

Day 1

The royal island

Grand Palace at opening, Wat Pho after, then a ferry to Wat Arun and a riverside sunset.

Day 2

Old town & Chinatown

Golden Mount and Wat Saket in the morning, Talat Noi lanes by afternoon, Yaowarat after dark.

Day 3

Design & malls

Jim Thompson House, BACC and Siam’s malls; finish with a rooftop view over Silom.

Day 4

Day trip

Ayutthaya’s ruins, or a weekend floating market paired with the Maeklong Railway Market.

Day 5+

Go deeper

Chatuchak on a weekend, a cycle on Bang Krachao, or a night in Kanchanaburi or Khao Yai.

Honest thought: traffic is the hidden cost of Bangkok. Plan each day along one rail line or the river, and keep midday for lunch and air-conditioning.
