In this Bangkok travel guide, we’re taking you on a 24-hour adventure around the city that guarantees a spectacular time and an experience to remember.

Where To Go In Bangkok: Morning Escapade

All days begin with a good breakfast. Before you head off to your 24-hour long jaunt in the city, fuel up with a hearty and heavy breakfast at your Bangkok hotel of choice. Whether you’re staying in an upscale or a budget hotel, don’t pass up on Bangkok hotels’ breakfast buffet! Make sure you sample local favourites such as omelette and rice, khao tom and jok.

Now that you’ve properly filled up, it’s time to visit your first attraction. Wondering where to go in Bangkok? The Grand Palace, of course. Built in 1782, the Grand Palace is one of the top Bangkok tourist attractions that you shouldn’t miss. Unbelievably gorgeous in the sun, the Grand Palace seems to sparkle—further highlighting the intricate details and majestic architecture. Make time to explore the complex because inside you’ll find even more stunning buildings. The Grand Palace is open daily from 8:30 am until 3:30 pm.

If the heat becomes unbearable, head out of the Grand Palace and make your way to Siam Paragon. Here, not only can you cool down and enjoy lunch but also visit another exciting Bangkok attraction called SEA LIFE Bangkok Ocean World. It doesn’t matter if you’re travelling with kids, flying solo or have a travel buddy with you. At SEA LIFE Bangkok Ocean World, the attractions are bound to pique everyone. Even better, they have two new fun-filled activities that you must not miss.

Love penguins? Then you must visit the Penguin Ice Maze attraction where you’ll get to see the adorable Gentoo Penguins, which typically stand at an adorable 20 to 35 inches. When you do visit the Penguin Ice Maze, keep your eyes peeled for the Gentoo penguins named Happy, Je T’aime and Mafia. These baby penguins were bred at SEA LIFE! There’s also no reason to fear them because besides being cute, they’re very social as well. Moreover, you’ll also feel what it’s like to be on the Antarctic Peninsula because of the cool climate.

From your favourite athletes to the most popular Hollywood celebrities, this is the only place in Bangkok where you can rub shoulders with them—literally! The detail that goes in every display is incredibly realistic that you’ll forget you’re seeing a wax figure and not the real person.

If seeing all the stars isn’t enough to pique your interest, animated movie characters also have their own wax figures here, just like the three main characters from Ice Age. Besides getting up close and personal with Sid the sloth, Manny the mammoth and Scrat the squirrel, guests can also have their own snow experience at Madame Tussauds. How? Through a nine-minute film showing of Ice Age: No Time for Nuts 4D.

Now, after you’ve seen all the prominent figures on display at Madame Tussauds, it’s time cap off your day with a trip to a nearby night market in Bangkok. One such place is the Pratunam Market, which is a shopping haven that is open from dawn until dusk. It’s here where you can score bargains on clothes, shoes and other accessories. You can also tame that rumbling stomach of yours at the Pratunam food street. From Thai fish cakes to moo ping, you’ll be spoilt for choice with all the local street food on display.

Holidays give us a great opportunity to relax, unwind, and give ourselves a break from our busy days. Thus, we have been eyeing on the list of long weekends every year to plan how we will spend them. So, how can you make the most out of your vacation? Continue reading below to know how!

TALK TO LOCALS

No matter where you go – within your own country or overseas, always try to speak to locals. It is not only when asking for directions they will be helpful but also in learning more about the place, even the culture. As locals, they can tell you more about their home and it would definitely be a unique experience. Besides, it would be great to make new friends too!

PACK SMART

We won’t tell you to pack light or even pack heavy as you know yourself. Rather, we tell you to pack smart. How would this be? Just pack what you really need and what you think you will need. If it would turn out to be either only a backpack or tons of bags, what’s important is that you are complacent that you got everything you need. Also, come prepared because we’ll never know when emergencies will occur!

PLAN AHEAD

From itineraries to hotel or car rental bookings, one of the most important things to do before your long weekend travel is planning. Of course, you wouldn’t want to waste any minute during your travel, right? However, spontaneity isn’t being disregarded. In fact, it could make any getaway a more memorable one.

Plan everything beforehand but don’t expect everything to turn how you exactly planned it. There may be some problems because they can’t be avoided. Just go with the flow! Aside from that, scout for the best travel deals online. Perhaps joining a travel club like Asia Travel Club (ATC) that can give you a free stay from one of their partner hotels in Asia could help. Yes, you read that right! Want to know more about it? Send them a message at m.me/asiatravelclub

DON’T WAIT FOR ANYONE

Are you worried that no one will accompany you in your long weekend getaway? Don’t worry about it and do it! Don’t wait for anyone to be with you. Travelling alone doesn’t mean you are lonely. In fact, it would be a refreshing feeling to be able to explore a place all by yourself.

“Don’t be. I assure you that once you go travelling, you are never really alone. You’re always bound to meet people along the way and they could eventually become your best friends for life. They may be locals or they may be travellers like you, and this whole process is one of the best gifts of travel that you should not miss out on.” – by Aileen Adalid, a Filipina digital nomad from her blog entitled: Top 15 Common Travel Excuses That Should Not Hold You Back!

So, whatever reasons you have that make you want to travel, those are enough for you to do it. There are so much more things, places, and people in the world that are yet to be discovered. As a matter of fact, those things are best to see with our very own eyes.
