Dining in style: With all the chaos of the city streets, you deserve some time to unwind and just relax, perhaps with a little romance. Bangkok offers a cruise with a view, oh and some top food. Head down the Chao Phraya River, take in those glittering lights, dine in some Thai delights and make it a magical moment you and your partner will never forget.
Things to do: The city has a distinctively modern vibe, that mixes with the old side of the city. The Grand Palace, full of royal opulence or Wat Arun Ratchawararam the riverside temple or the Temple of the Emerald Buddha offers you Thai culture, as does the sprawling marketplace of Chatuchak, a weekend shopping and cultural treat. Bangkok offers plenty alongside the river cruising.
How safe is Bangkok: Come to Bangkok and you’ll be greeted by a warm and friendly welcome. It’s Thailand’s most touristy city and the population is used to large groups of tourists visiting. The overall risk to the tourist is considered reasonably safe, some parts are safe, while other areas are to avoid. Do your research and follow the usual tourist rules of staying in those busy areas and keeping valuables hidden.
