So, welcome to Thailand! The flight is over, Bangkok is very close. It remains only to get to him. It all depends on which airport you need to leave from. You can leave Suvarnabhumi by train. Airport Air Link transports passengers in two ways. The SA Express train provides quick connections from the airport to Bangkok Terminal. The trip to the city center takes 15 minutes.

Where to stay
So, the path from the airport to the city is behind. We need to find a place to live in the near future. It is desirable that it be cozy. There are 50 districts in Bangkok, which differ from each other in terms of living.
Pratunam
Most of the tourists from Russia stay in the Pratunam area, and Chinatown is famous as a place where stalls are literally heaped with Chinese goods. The main business centers of Bangkok are concentrated in Silom. This is a modern area where the most expensive hotels in the city are located.
Khaosan Road
They are chosen by tourists who want to save money on a hotel. It is difficult to find expensive hotels here. So to the question of which district to choose, you can answer that any. The whole snag is in wishes for rest and housing prices.
From Bangkok hotels, you can pay attention to the following:
Oriental Residence Bangkok
It should be said right away that this is a luxury hotel. You can’t hope for low prices, but you can do great service. Convenient location of the hotel, perfect cleanliness, delicious food. Everything here is at the highest level. There is absolutely nothing to find fault with. The hotel is located in the city center. The windows overlook Bangkok.

Now about what you should definitely see in Bangkok. You cannot visit the capital of Thailand and return home without great photos. To amaze everyone with many beautiful shots, you need to plan everything well. Otherwise, it is unlikely that it will be possible to visit all the main attractions in 2 days and leave time for shopping, walking around the city and going to cafes and restaurants. Make sure to take some time to visit Bangkok's markets.
So, if you have a great desire to learn as much as possible about Bangkok in the shortest possible time, then you should carefully review the following information.
The first day
Royal Palace
The best place to start is from the Royal Palace. The name of this architectural structure alone speaks of its majestic beauty. On the walls, tourists from all over the world strive to get to the palace. The interior decoration is particularly graceful. The entire ensemble includes several buildings.
It is surrounded by four walls, the total length of which is 2 kilometers. It is only allowed to enter the palace if the shoulders and knees are covered. If the clothes do not match, you will have to rent pants or a sarong for a fee. The entrance ticket is 350 baht. You can get there by taxi or public transport.
Temple of the Emerald Buddha
It is located in the center next to the Royal Palace. The Buddha statue is not emerald. The material from which it is made is green jadeite. The Thai king Rama himself prays in this temple. The painting on the walls will tell you a lot of interesting things from the life of Buddha. There are scenes where Buddha is still a child. It can be seen how he gradually turns into a young man. His life ends with Nirvana, which is not so easy to achieve.
Temple of the Golden Buddha
It is better to get around all the temples on the first day of your stay in Bangkok, so that you can immediately compare them and make a general impression of them. This temple can be reached by train. It is located in the Chinatown area. Unlike the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, the statue here is cast from a real expensive metal - gold. Photos against the background of this temple attract attention with bright colors.
Crocodile farm
On the first day, it is enough to study the historical structures. It is necessary to somehow get distracted, change the mood, get new emotions. To do this, you can go to a crocodile farm. We'll have to get out of town to the town of Samutprakarn. It is not very far, about 10 kilometers from the center. The farm appeared in the 20th century. Now there are about 60 thousand crocodiles in it. Tourists visit the farm mainly for shows of deadly reptile tamers. Don't think that you can only see crocodiles here. There are also elephants, a snake farm and a mini zoo, which is home to tigers, monkeys and many other animals. Leaving the farm without a photo with a scary crocodile or a cute monkey, well, you just can't. What, then, will be interesting to show your friends? What Thailand can be without a crocodile farm?
Sirocco Restaurant
It's time for lunch. The best place to do this is at the Sirocco restaurant. It is located on the 64th floor of the Lebua at State Tower. The skyscraper offers a gorgeous panorama of Bangkok. If you visit the restaurant in the evening, the impression of what you see will increase many times over. The whole city is sparkling with lights. The restaurant is located directly in the open air. Now about the most important thing: the price of dishes on the menu. The minimum cost is $ 35. This is an expensive but very prestigious place.
Central World Shopping Center
In the evening, if you still have the strength and time left, it is worth going to the mall, because on the second day you may not have enough strength. We just need to hurry. The largest centers close their doors at 22:00. Some even earlier. There is so much in Central World: books, shoes, clothes, banks, and cafes. You can stay here for half a day and not notice how much time has passed. You should not get carried away with shopping especially.
You should only take what you can give as a souvenir. It is possible to buy several useful or memorabilia items for yourself. That's it, after that you have to go to the hotel to rest. An exciting day full of adventure awaits tomorrow.

Second day
Siam Water Park
The second day of your stay in Bangkok is better to devote to entertainment. This city should be remembered as one of the best in the world. So it makes sense to head to Siam Water Park after breakfast. You can spend the whole day in this park. The ticket costs 900 baht (adult). You can get there by taxi or bus. The park's address is 203Suan Siam Rd. It is better to start your vacation not from the famous water park, but from the attractions. Neither children nor adults will get bored here. There are carousels for kids, roller coasters, you can even take a flight on a flying carpet.
Extreme rides are unforgettable here. They are located in the center of the park. Almost everyone is delighted with the Vortex ride. One might get the impression that rolling on the rails is not at all scary. But after the belt is fastened and behind a few meters, the opinion is likely to change in the opposite direction. The rings and spirals are so breathtaking that it is impossible to sit silently. Do not leave slippers on your feet. During the trip, it will be unrealistically difficult to keep them on their feet.

If fear still has not prevailed over reason, then forward to the Giant Drop! When you fall from a height of 75 meters, fearlessness disappears instantly. After such an extreme it would be nice to have lunch. Lunch has already been paid for and is included in the ticket price. After that, it is worth going to the water amusement park. The slides are quite high and fast. One of them is in the Guinness Book of Records. If you just wanted to sit in the water, you can go into the huge pool, where an artificial wave appears from time to time.
Dream World Park
Siam Park in Bangkok has an alternative - Dream World. In the "dream park", visitors can ride fun attractions, look at the characters of well-known fairy tales, attend an exciting show program, and even take a river rafting. "Snow City" will help you remember the merry winter fun.
Snowball games, sleigh rides, meeting Santa Claus - all this awaits winter lovers at any time of the year. You can order an excursion to Dream World in almost every office. At the same time, you will not have to worry about how to get to the park. Transfer will take you there and back. You can get to the park on your own.
If a tourist takes a ticket for 1000 baht to all zones of the park, then there is no need to pay for the transfer. You can have a snack in the park at no additional cost. The price for lunch is included in the ticket price.
