Touring the Grand Palace

The Grand Palace features sprawling palace grounds and regal experiences, which is on the bucket list of all Thailand travel packages. From the minute you arrive outside the palace, you are greeted with the sight of the magnificent throne halls and temples with the unique blend of Thai and Italian Renaissance architecture. Take a peaceful stroll down the palace grounds and explore temples filled with the aroma of burning incense sticks and candles. Visit the Queen Sirikit Museum of Textiles to bask in Thailand’s artistic culture and also check out the traditional textiles.

Highlight: The Temple of the Emerald Buddha

 

Climbing the Sathorn Unique Tower

Referred to as the ‘Ghost Tower’ by locals, this abandoned skyscraper has stood the test of time for the last 20 years. At 820 feet, the tower enchants viewers from the busy streets with its beautiful facade of pillars and structures. Left unfinished, it houses an open-air restaurant on the 64th floor and also houses two five-star hotels in the building. Climbing up to the higher floors of the Ghost Tower is a feat in itself and an adventure sport we dare the bold and the brave to try.

Highlight: Sightseeing and Photography.

 

Shopping and Food at Chatuchak Weekend Market

The Chatuchak Weekend Market is Thailand’s largest market and offers an exceptional experience on your Thailand holiday. Shopping aficionados will find rare antiques and genuine Thai products at pocket-friendly prices here.

The authentic Pad Thai is out of this world. The market offers a string of culinary experiences ranging from Je Liep Seafood to the traditional Thai Milk Tea. This is the perfect spot for taking pictures, going shopping and making memories with your loved ones.

Highlight: Cuisine and Shopping.

 

Visiting the Lanna Folklife Museum

If you are a history buff, make sure your Bangkok Thailand Package includes a trip to the Lanna Folklife Museum simply because it’s a hot favourite among travellers. The museum recounts the tales of Lanna Village life through a blend of lifelike dioramas, replicas of various elements of Lanna-style monasteries, fon lep, and lai-krahm pottery stencilling.

Highlight: Exhibitions, Ceramic Displays and Sightseeing.

 

Meditation Retreats at Wat U Mong

For Buddhist preachers and those interested in spirituality, the Wat U Mong welcomes travellers with wormhole archways and ancient Buddhist murals. The place reverberates with the sound of the monks chanting prayers.

Meditation retreats are familiar sights when touring this place. The setting features a forest backdrop and a natural lake. Included in the best Thailand packages, this spot is perfect for relaxing evening strolls and learning more about Buddhism.
