Talking About Bangkok

Many folks like to begin their exploration of this fabulous city by simply starting out walking up and down it's very busy streets. They will often stop and treat themselves to one of the popular local dishes as a snack to enjoy on their journey. One always popular choice is the red pork and wontons in the egg noodle soup. They may then at some point opt to enjoy the boat ride down the river which is always a thrilling and fulfilling way to see so many of the beautiful sights and many different monuments and landmarks contained within the city. Of course there can and will be if desired a stop at one of the special restaurants on the river such as the one located at the Thewet pier known as the In Love restaurant.

Many choose to depart at Saphan Taksin from the ferry in order to head to Siam via the skytrain. After enjoying the ride and the magnificent sights, many will choose to unwind even more perhaps with a Thai massage or perhaps a very relaxing swim. Bangkok is truly a city of alternate expressions and offerings where a person might find whatever it is they are seeking. That could be sunset cocktails at a beautiful rooftop bar such as the Vertigo which sits atop the Hotel Banyon Tree to enjoying local cuisine at one of the many street side cafes dotting any of the city's busy thoroughfares. Of course there are also so many tiny bars along the avenue where one might stop to refresh themselves with some salty beans and ice cold beer.

Of course, another special treat available for visitors to enjoy are one of the evening dinner cruises that the better hotels usually organize and offer. So many folks thoroughly enjoy these trips. Many of the even more adventurous though will choose to venture out on their own exploration of the many small clubs dotting the city, many offering terrific live music and performances.

One visit that must be made by everyone spending any time at all in the city is to the Erawan Shrine, the Four Faced Buddha. Literally, hundreds of good folks will visit there daily and offer their prayers and promise of good works should their requests be answered. Centrally located in the city with so much to offer it's visitors, the Erawan Shrine is guaranteed to be a place that will remain seared in a person's mind and heart long after the visit is over.
