Amazing attractions in Bangkok
Renting a car online ensures you have the freedom to move how you want when in the city. Once you have secured a hotel room for yourself, you can set out to search for some fun things to see and photograph. Here are a couple of things you can do for fun in Bangkok.
- Bangkok Night Life - if you arrive in Thailand in the evening, you don’t have to stay bored in your room as you wait for morning. If that jet lag didn’t get you this time, you can take a drive out and join the Bangkok nightlife. The major attractions in the city would be closed at this time, but you can walk into the street food stalls and sample some Thai delicacy. Some malls don’t close until 10pm; Future Park is one of the shopping malls you can try out.
- Air Craft Museum - if you are an airplane hobbyist, this museum would be a great place to visit. It is a tiny airplane collection museum situated just near the main airport. The museum detailed the aviation evolution of Thailand right from when double winged planes were first invented. You don’t have to understand planes to be here, just the vintage look of the beasts in the hangar cum museum is enough to wow you.
- The Grand Palace - a beautifully designed palace located in Don Muang. It is approximately 28 minutes to this palace by car so your car hire is all you need.
- Chao River - the famous Chao River that snakes through Bangkok and joins the Gulf at a distance of 372km.Watching this river as it majestically glides through the city has got to be the best view ever.
Don Mueang has got to be one of the best cities you will enjoy in Thailand thanks to its attractions.
