Upptäck historien om Bangkok
Bangkok is a river city, and everything happens along the Chao Phraya, worked by commuter boats from dawn until dark. On one bank stand the gold and glass mosaic of the Grand Palace, with the Emerald Buddha high on its altar in Wat Phra Kaew; on the other, the spire of Wat Arun, encrusted with broken porcelain, catching fire at dusk. Inside Wat Pho a forty-six-metre reclining Buddha fills the entire hall, the soles of its feet inlaid with mother-of-pearl. Around all this the city is dense, loud and endlessly edible: street carts turn out pad thai and green papaya salad for a few baht, and Chatuchak Weekend Market unrolls thousands of stalls on Saturdays and Sundays. Lumphini Park is the green breath in the middle, monitor lizards crossing the lawns. Rooftop bars watch the whole thing from a long way up.

Grand Palace
Founded with the city in 1782, the walled royal compound gathers throne halls, gilded chedis and the chapel of the Emerald Buddha. The dress code is strict — covered shoulders and long trousers — and the single ticket includes Wat Phra Kaew.
Wat Arun
The Temple of Dawn, whose central prang is encrusted with fragments of Chinese porcelain, faces the Grand Palace across the river. A shuttle ferry crosses from Tha Tien pier in a few minutes, and a steep stair climbs partway up the spire.
Wat Phra Kaew
The royal chapel inside the Grand Palace holds the Emerald Buddha, a 66-centimetre figure carved in fact from green jade or jasper, whose golden robes the king changes three times a year. Entry is only with the Grand Palace ticket, under its strict dress code.
Wat Mahathat
In the ruins of Ayutthaya, this fourteenth-century monastery is known for the sandstone Buddha head locked in the roots of a banyan tree. The old capital lies some 80 km north of Bangkok, about an hour and a half by train, and the site is ticketed.
Asiatique The Riverfront
An open-air night market in former trading warehouses on the Chao Phraya, some 1,500 shops under a 60-metre Ferris wheel. It opens in the late afternoon; a free shuttle boat runs from Sathorn pier, beside Saphan Taksin BTS station.
