These temples aren’t just photo ops—they’re windows into Thai spirituality, craftsmanship, and royal history. For a more personal peek into Bangkok’s heritage, wander through the Jim Thompson House Museum, a stunning teakwood home filled with Southeast Asian art. Or immerse yourself in flavor with hands-on Thai cooking classes, where learning to balance sweet, spicy, and sour becomes an art form in itself. Don’t miss the dynamic energy of the Chatuchak Weekend Market, where tradition and trend collide across 15,000 stalls. And while some floating markets may lean touristy, with the right guide, they offer a vibrant glimpse into Bangkok’s riverside trading past. Want to explore deeper? Check

November through March is certainly the best time to visit, with pleasant temperatures ranging from 22°C to 32°C.

Additionally, we’ll experience the famous Chatuchak Weekend Market with over 15,000 stalls and sample the city’s incredible street food scene where delicious meals cost as little as 100 THB ($3 USD). This Thrillark travel guide covers the best places for first-timers to visit Bangkok while also revealing hidden gems that most tourists miss. We have specifically designed this itinerary to balance must-see attractions with authentic local experiences. From temple-hopping and market adventures to rooftop bars and chef-led food tours, you’ll discover that what to do in Bangkok creates the perfect balance between sightseeing and cultural immersion Day 1: Classic Bangkok for First “I love the chaos, the smells, and the little ladies cooking and selling you various treats as theypaddle by you. (You never leave hungry.)” — Matt Kepnes, Founder of Nomadic Matt travel blogand bestselling travel author. Your first day in Bangkok should focus on the city’s most iconic landmarks. Starting early is the key toavoiding both crowds and the midday heat at these Morning at the Grand Palace and Wat Pho Begin your Bangkok adventure at the Grand Palace walking tour, the former royal residence since 1782. This sprawling 54-acre. The complex opens daily at 8:30 AM, and I recommend arriving right when it opens. The entrance fee is 500 baht for foreigners, which includes access to both the palace grounds and Wat Phra Kaew (Temple of the Emerald Buddha). Before heading out, note the strict dress code: Next, walk about 10 minutes south to Wat Pho, home to the magnificent Reclining Buddha. This golden statue stretches an impressive 46 meters long and is one of Thailand’s most revered Buddha images. The entrance fee is 200 baht, and the temple stays open until 6:30 PM, giving you plenty of time to explore. Cross the river to Wat Arun From Wat Pho, head to Tha Tien pier and take a quick ferry across the Chao Phraya River to Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn) for just 4 baht. With its stunning mosaic pagoda and beautiful gardens, Wat Arun offers a different architectural style from the other temples. The entrance fee is 100 baht, and the temple is open from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM. The Chao Phraya river is a mesmerising scene to look upon during the night too, perhaps you can even come back here for a Dinner Cruise on the river(with unlimited beer too!) Lunch at a riverside café After a morning of temple-hopping, you’ll need to refuel. Fortunately, the area around Tha Tien pier offers several excellent riverside cafés. Two standout options include RONGROS and THA ARUN, both serving authentic Thai dishes with river views. These restaurants open at 11:00 AM, perfect timing for a late lunch after your temple visits. Explore the Flower Market and Amulet Market. In the afternoon, visit Pak Khlong Talat (Bangkok Flower Market), Thailand’s largest wholesale flower market. Operating 24/7, this fragrant paradise showcases everything from jasmine and orchids to roses and marigolds. And you can do all that with Thrillark’s heritage tour tickets! Watch skilled artisans create intricate Phuang Malai garlands, a traditional Thai art form.Nearby, the Amulet Market offers a fascinating glimpse into Thai spiritual beliefs. Located close to the Grand Palace, this market displays countless Buddha amulets and charms believed to ward off evil. It’s a popular stop on most sightseeing tours of the area. Sunset drinks at a rooftop bar End your first day with breathtaking city views from one of Bangkok’s famous rooftop bars. For the ultimate panorama, head to Sky Bar at Lebua on the 63rd floor, where you can try their famous “Hangovertini” cocktail. Alternatively, Octave Rooftop Lounge offers a more relaxed multi-level setting with excellent sunset views. Most rooftop bars have a dress code prohibiting sports shorts, sandals, and sleeveless shirts for men, so dress accordingly for this sophisticated evening experience. Day 2: Local Life, Food, and Culture After exploring Bangkok’s famous sites, your second day is all about experiencing the city like a local. Get ready to discover hidden corners and authentic flavours that most tourists miss. Start with a local breakfast in Sukhumvit Begin your morning in the vibrant Sukhumvit area, where locals fuel their day with delicious breakfast options. For an authentic experience, head to Rung Reung Pork Noodle for their flavorful pork soup. Alternatively, On Lok Yun offers classic American breakfasts starting at just 55 baht, plus their signature French toast for 40 baht. Coffee lovers will appreciate Cosmos Cafe, known for their hot cosmo blend espresso using beans from Chiang Rai farm communities. Take a backstreet bike tour through Thonburi Next, explore Thonburi’s hidden side on a bicycle tour. These guided excursions take you through narrow alleyways and enchanting backstreets that most tourists never see. The tours cover approximately 12-15 kilometres at a leisurely pace, visiting peaceful temples like Wat Kun Chan and stopping at local communities where you’ll be the only tourists around. Most tours provide bicycles, helmets, and water bottles, making this an easy yet authentic adventure. Visit Lumpini Park for a midday break Escape the urban chaos at Lumpini Park, Bangkok’s first and most central green space. Besides the beautiful artificial lake where you can rent paddleboats for 40 baht per 30 minutes, the park offers free aerobics classes in the evenings.

The Best Places To Go Snorkeling In The UAE

What started 5,000 years ago by the Sponge divers in Crete to breathe underwater using reeds while they collected the sponges is now a favourite underwater activity worldwide! Since you’re in the UAE, the destination hub of all modern marvels and natural wonders, you should definitely try snorkelling in Dubai, which is one of the most captivating experiences you can have in the region’s crystal-clear waters. They say if you can float on water, you can snorkel! Imagine swimming through the vibrant coral reefs teeming with life, where colourful fishes swim past you and dart playfully around you. The UAE boasts of some incredible snorkelling spots, perfect for both beginners and seasoned adventurers. Whether you’re exploring the depths of Dubai’s underwater worlds or swimming alongside majestic sea turtles in Fujairah, each experience promises you a unique glimpse into the rich marine biodiversity that thrives beneath the surface. So, grab your gear and get ready to discover the underwater treasures waiting for you in this stunning destination! Why Choose Snorkeling in the UAE? When we think of the UAE, what comes to our mind first? Of course, the GIGANTIC skyscrapers and the desert dunes of UAE! But let me tell you, the country’s underwater world is equally jaw-dropping. Beneath the surface lies an aquatic playground waiting for you to explore, offering you a kaleidoscope of colours and life that feels like you’re stepping into another realm. Imagine diving into the warm turquoise waters glistening under the sun, and you have an underwater universe ready to explore! That’s what snorkelling in the UAE feels like. When you explore, you feel like you are exploring a world beneath the waves. The coral reefs are teeming with life in Fujairah to the Arabian Gulf Coast, proving that the UAE underwater landscape is nothing short of spectacular views! When you swim, you can see schools of lively fish darting through the water, playful sea turtles gliding past you effortlessly, and intricate coral gardens. The reefs here are alive with life- think angelfish, clownfish, and even the occasional reef shark. You will feel like you are snorkelling in a giant natural aquarium. Snorkel All Year Round You must be wondering, what is the best time to go snorkelling in Dubai or the UAE? The UAE’s warm weather makes it a snorkelling haven, regardless of season. While much of the world bundles up during the winter, you could be floating in crystal-clear waters with the sun kissing your face. It’s the perfect escape. And summer? Sure, it gets hot on land, but the water is an oasis of tremendous relief. So, if you’ve been searching for your next adventure, snorkelling in the UAE is calling your name. It’s not only an escape from the hustle and bustle of life but also a chance for you to connect with nature in one of the most unexpected places. Top Snorkeling Spots in Dubai If you’re hungry for adventure, Dubai is a goldmine. And if you want to immerse yourself in the colourful underwater world, you’re gonna have a blast! Let’s discover some best places for snorkelling in Dubai, where you can hang with these incredible sea creatures and make unforgettable memories. 1. The Palm Jumeirah When you think of snorkelling in Dubai, The Palm Jumeirah undoubtedly comes to mind. Famous for its crystal-clear waters and breathtaking underwater views( you’ll feel like staying there for a few more hours), this man-made island offers some of the best Dubai snorkelling experiences. Picture yourself floating around the coral reefs, schools of prismatic fish, including reel fish and angelfish, and even majestic rays. The best time to snorkel at Palm Jumeirah is during the cooler months between October and April when the water is calm, and visibility is at its peak. The suitable time for snorkelling is during the morning hours. Don’t forget your underwater camera- cause you need to keep this one for the books! 2. Jumeirah Beach Next on our list is Jumeirah Beach, the perfect spot for newcomers to this game. Its shallow, calm waters make it ideal for families and beginners, and its proximity to luxury resorts means you’re never far from comfort. This definitely one of the best Dubai snorkelling experiences you won’t want to miss! Insider Tip: Combine your visit with a stroll along the beach or a stop at one of the nearby cafes. Jumeirah Beach also makes for a romantic escape, one of the many water activities for couples in Dubai. 3. Atlantis The Palm Looking for a luxurious snorkelling experience? Then, snorkelling in Atlantis Dubai is a must-try. In this iconic resort, you will find artificial reefs bursting with marine fauna. Do you want to raise the stakes by snorkelling alongside dolphins? Yes, it’s as magical as it sounds. The best time to visit Atlantis The Palm would be in the morning or late afternoon, giving you a crowd-free adventure. This is one of the best Dubai snorkelling experiences you won’t want to miss! 4. Ambassador Lagoon The premier snorkelling location in Dubai is an incredible experience. Situated on Palm Jumeirah Island, the most oversized artificial island globally, the Ambassador’s Lagoon is a spacious outdoor aquarium modelled after the vanished city of Atlantis. Visitors can swim with hundreds of vibrant marine species, sharks, and rays while viewing the “ruins” of Atlantis far below, all under the supervision of a qualified expert. You will surely see something fascinating with 65,000 marine species living in the lagoon. 5.
