Bangkok is Southeast Asia's most dynamic metropolis — a city of shimmering Buddhist temples, elevated skytrain lines, street-food lanes producing world-class cuisine for under £2, and rooftop bars overlooking an endless sprawl of golden spires. It is a city of contrasts that rewards exploration beyond the tourist circuit: take the river ferry, explore canal-side neighbourhoods, and eat wherever the longest queues of locals form.

Don't miss
Take the Chao Phraya Express Boat (orange flag line, ฿15) rather than a taxi for getting between riverside sights — it's faster during traffic, wildly cheap, and gives you the city from the perspective Bangkokians actually use. Get on at Sathorn/Central pier.
Eat breakfast at a riverside noodle stall in Chinatown (Yaowarat Road) before 9am — the boat noodle and congee vendors set up from dawn and are almost entirely local. Tom yum noodle soup for ฿50 while Bangkok wakes up is a defining experience.
Visit Wat Pho (the Reclining Buddha) first thing in the morning before the Grand Palace opens — it's technically a separate temple, far less crowded, and the 46-metre gold reclining Buddha figure is more striking than anything at the Grand Palace itself. Entry ฿200.
Go to a rooftop bar on your first evening to orient yourself — Vertigo at the Banyan Tree hotel (61st floor, free entry if you buy a drink) gives the most dramatic 360° view of the city. Go at sunset, stay for one drink, then head to a street food neighbourhood.
Weekend itinerary · 3 days
Day 1
Grand Palace & Wat Phra Kaew
Get there for the 8:30am opening — the complex is the single most impressive sight in Bangkok and gets packed by 10am. Dress code is strictly enforced (cover shoulders and knees); sarongs are lent for free at the gate. Allocate 2 hours minimum. Entry ฿500.
Wat Pho (Reclining Buddha)
A 5-minute walk south from the Grand Palace — the reclining Buddha is 46 metres long and covered in gold leaf. The temple complex also contains Thailand's largest collection of Buddha images. Entry ฿200. Take your time in the courtyard.
Chao Phraya River & Wat Arun at sunset
Cross the river by local ferry (฿5) to Wat Arun — the Temple of Dawn is best photographed from the Wat Pho side at sunset, but climbing its steep central prang gives an extraordinary view back over the river and Grand Palace. Entry ฿100.
Err Urban Rustic Thai
A short taxi from the riverside temples (Sri Maharaj pier area) — a more refined take on classic Thai street food, with excellent fermented pork sausage, northern Thai larb, and cold Singha. Book ahead for dinner.
Day 2
Chatuchak Weekend Market
Only open Saturday and Sunday, from 9am. Over 15,000 stalls selling everything from vintage clothing to live animals to street food. Go in the morning before the heat peaks; navigate by the posted section maps — plants (Section 2–4), art (Section 7), vintage (Section 2–4 overlap), food throughout.
Jim Thompson House
A stunning compound of six traditional Thai houses assembled by American silk entrepreneur Jim Thompson on a canal in the city's heart. The house and its art collection are open daily (฿200), but the garden — free to enter — and the canal view are reason alone to go.
Silom neighbourhood & Patpong night market
The Silom area is Bangkok's business and LGBTQ+ hub — buzzy and genuinely local. The Patpong Night Market (7pm–midnight) is touristy but fun for a look; the surrounding sois (side streets) have better food and bars.
Som Tam Nua
On Siam Square Soi 5 — a branch of the most famous som tam (green papaya salad) restaurant in Bangkok. Queue likely at lunchtime; worth it. Order the classic som tam Thai, the grilled chicken, and sticky rice.
Day 3
Damnoen Saduak Floating Market
The most visited floating market, 90 minutes from Bangkok — take an organised minibus tour (from ฿300) that departs 7am to arrive before the tourist surge peaks at 9am. Buy directly from the canal-boat vendors for the experience, not from the stalls.
Chinatown (Yaowarat) lunch & wander
Back in Bangkok, spend the afternoon in Chinatown — Bangkok's most intense neighbourhood. The gold shops, medicinal herb vendors, and food stalls create an overwhelming sensory experience. Best explored on foot in 90-minute blocks.
Rooftop farewell drink
End the trip at the Octave Rooftop Lounge at the Bangkok Marriott on Sukhumvit — three levels of outdoor terraces with the city spreading out in every direction. Go at 6pm when it opens to guarantee a spot.
T&K Seafood (Chinatown)
The most famous seafood spot on Yaowarat Road — order the oyster omelette, the butter crab, and the grilled tiger prawns. Sit on the pavement, eat with your hands, and understand why Bangkok's street food deserves its reputation.
