Bangkok – Pattaya

Thailand is a country of tropical forests and cultivated fields, and of grand cities, full of monuments. One of these cities is Bangkok, a city of more than four hundred temples, that boasts a rich history and numerous cultural attractions. Read the following travel tips for visiting the city that is also known as the City of Angels.

No visit to Thailand is perfect if it doesn’t include the famous markets. Take a guided tour of two markets just outside Bangkok. First, take the train to the market on train tracks – Maeklong. The very journey to one of the largest sea food markets in the whole country is breath-taking, as it will take you through rice fields. Following up is the Damnoen Saduak floating market and you can reach it by a traditional boat. Take your time and observe the numerous colours and the haggling that goes on between customers and the sellers, who sell their items directly from their boats. Try the local delicacies, such as rice with mango or the famous pad thai. Another trip outside the city will take you through countless canals on a traditional boat. This was how all people in the city used to travel in the past. Observe the numerous small farms and orchid plantations during the trip. After all, your destination will be one of these beautiful farms, full of orchids. With a single ticket you can visit the most famous attractions in the Samut province, namely the Erawan Museum and the Ancient City. The museum was designed as a symbol of peace and depicts art, philosophy, religious diversity and the spirit of Asia. Walk through the Ancient City, a park that is shaped like Thailand. The idea of the park’s founder was to create a golf course, filled with miniatures of historically important Thai buildings.

Enjoy shopping at the Gems Gallery, before getting transferred to the hotel for an overnight stay. Check out from the hotel in Bangkok and get transferred to Pattaya. Upon arrival, check in to your hotel in Pattaya. You can then choose to rest, or explore the Floating Market and Jomtien Beach Night Market on your own.

Located on Thailand’s eastern Gulf coast, Pattaya is known as the “Hawaii of the East” for its abundant sunshine, beautiful beaches and delectable seafood. The coastline runs 15 kilometers along crystal clear water, a popular attraction for sunbathers and beach enthusiasts from all over the world. Water sports such as water skiing, parasailing and diving are all prevalent attractions here that every visitor should experience. After nightfall, the city plays host to a variety of performances, of which the Tiffany Show is one of the most spectacular, with gorgeous ladyboys and equally brilliant acts. The streets are full of dance halls, night clubs and bars with flashing neon signs and blaring pop music.
