Bangkok Attractions

Bangkok is not only a great place to visit to meet girls, drink and have fun! Bangkok is also a great place to see sights, get photos and experience a culture very different to your own! Bangkok Deals has put together some of the best, and most popular tourist spots that Bangkok has to offer! From weekend Markets, to the famous red light district that is Patpong, you will find something you like here, at Bangkok Deals!

National Museum – The National Museum in Bangkok is one visit any tourist needs to make! The collection in the National Museum is amazing, it is said to possibly be the most important collection of South Eastern Art in the world! The displays at the museum vary from common art you may see people creating today, to art work that was created over 1500 years ago!

The display’s usually have English and Thai translations, allowing everyone to come in and have a look! The information in the Musuem is enough to keep any one person busy all afternoon!

Jim Thompsons House – Well, I bet when you got on that plane and started on your trip to Thailand you did not think that you would go and visit good ol Jim and his dog Rusty! Ok, maybe Rusty isn’t real but Jim is and he is credited with keep alive (or reviving) the ancient Thai silk industry! Jim’s house is easily, one of, if not; the best example of a traditional Thai residence (and he isn’t Thai).

Royal Barges Museum – This museum is home to the many spectacular and amazing barges that get used by the royal family for extremely important or special ceremonies (Sweet 16 Doesn’t Cut It).  They are very ornate and you will become very curious after having a look! Well worth a visit!

Thon Buri Canal – You might think you have landed in Venice, but its ok! You are still in Bangkok! If you are interested in taking in a lot of attractions in 1 day, and seeing them from a odd perspective then I would recommend you check out the Canals! A leisure cruise along the canals will allow tourist’s to see many Temple’s such as The Grand Palace and Wat Po, while avoiding the busy Bangkok streets and limit the need to do your own navigation!

A excellent provider is The Chao Phraya Express!

Chinatown – For the best in Chinese Food, Chinese lifestyle or just to check out the China Talent! Every country has a China Town and Thailand is no different! China Town in Thailand is a experience not to be missed, mixing the best food, the best entertainment and the friendliest people – China Town is worth a look! Be warned, the streets can be packed and you will be shoulder to shoulder with who ever is next to you, but come out past all this and you will have an experience like no other!

A little fact about China Town, it has the largest proportion of Gold Shops to any other location in Bangkok (Or Thailand). There are many fantastic bargains to be found in China Town, Bangkok! Come and check them all!

Khao San Rd - Known as the Backpacker Capital of Bangkok (Because they are poorer then Thai People) There is a never ending flow of tourist’s and Thais alike, with stalls offering food, jeans, clothes, movies, games – and bars trying to entice every punter that walks by! This is a great little place to find a bargain, have some fun or just check out the rest of what Bangkok has to offer!

Siam Square – This is one of the few, modern building with in Bangkok! Bangkok Deals can advise that is bustling hub is always busy, and is very full of large shopping malls and boasts some of the biggest designer names and up market outlets that the world has to offer!

Patpong – Famous from the early war days, Patpong is Bangkok’s original Red-Light district! This should not put of your average tourist though as Patpong now is full of food stall’s, markets and fake designer everything! The goods are of decent quality, at times you will find some fantastic quality at those expected cheap prices! With the number of shops in Patpong, it gives your more curious the perfect excuse to walk into a red light zone to check out the Girlie Bars and Go-Go Bars!

Chatujak Weekend Market - Only on weekends, this is one of the largest markets that one could see in Bangkok! This is no less then a labyrinth of stalls, food vendors and small trinket shops! This is also the perfect place to pick up some Thai Handi-Crafts and Thai jewellry!

Golden Mount - Originally the highest point in Bangkok until the skyscrapers started to be built! This is a fantastic spot to get some quality photos to send back home to the family! Bangkok Deals uses this spot to get some of the beautiful shots we have on display!
