A city full of stunning places – Bangkok is one of the most famous metropolises in the world and is even the most visited city in the world again in 2022 with 17 million tourists. Since 2013, it is actually always in the top 3 most visited cities in the world. 5 days in Bangkok seem hardly enough to admire all the wonderful things to see in Bangkok. Besides about 400 temples, impressive palaces, and buildings, you will also find a modern metropolis. In such a big city it can be difficult to decide what to see, especially if you are short of time because there are interesting places on every corner. But no problem, here you will find an ideal Bangkok itinerary 5 days to discover everything important in Bangkok in 5 days. In addition, we give you helpful travel tips and information on the way so that you can discover the unique Thai capital on your own and fall in love with it. Bangkok Facts Since 1782 capital of the Kingdom of ThailandBy far the biggest city in the countryAround 10,5 Million inhabitants 2020Economical and Cultural Center of Thailand How to get around in Bangkok By Metro MRT In Bangkok, there is a metro called MRT, which allows you to get from one place to another easily. The MRT allows you to move between many parts of the Thai metropolis, avoiding the sometimes chaotic traffic chaos on the city streets. The city’s subway is open daily from 6 am to midnight and has two route networks. The price of the subway depends on the distance traveled, starting at 15 baht about € So far, you can’t use it in the whole city yet, but new lines will be built shortly. By Bus You can go almost everywhere in Bangkok by bus. But since the traffic can be quite heavy, especially during the rush hours, it can take pretty long depending on where you want to go. By taxi The probably most expensive option in Thailand is to go by taxi. Many taxi drivers refuse to use the taximeters, though. Make sure the taximeter is running before you enter, even if they tell you it was broken. It’s not! Grab/ Uber Using Grab or Uber, you don’t have to worry about being overcharged by your taxi driver as the app fixes the price. Once in a while, you can also get discount codes from the app, which help you save some money. By tuk-tuk Not finding a tuk-tuk to go with? Don’t worry that won’t happen in Bangkok. Make sure not to agree with the first price the driver gives you as they expect you to bargain. Check before on the internet what price is fair for your trip as tuk-tuk drivers like to overcharge tourists. Day 1 of 5 Days in Bangkok Wat Pho – Temple of the Reclining Buddha Opening Hours Wat Pho am – 05 pm Entrance Fee Wat Pho 200 Baht ca. 5 € Wat Pho temple is most famous for its reclining 45-meter-long golden Buddha. Quite impressive, if you ask me. This temple is definitely one of our Bangkok highlights. Unfortunately, taking a good photo of the reclining Buddha is difficult, as you can easily tell – He’s too big! With a height of almost 15 meters, it is therefore not even so easy to capture its dimensions in a photo. Besides the huge reclining Buddha, the seated Buddha is also very impressive, as well as the four impressive pagodas decorated with colorful mosaics. Although the name suggests otherwise, there is much more to see on the temple grounds than just the reclining Buddha. In the temple complex, you can find various buildings and statues. So it’s worth walking around and exploring the sights of this popular temple. Wat Pho Fun Fact The full name of the temple is Wat Phra Chettuphon Wimon Mangkhalaram Ratchaworamahawihan. Wat Phrae Kaeo – Temple of Emerald Buddha & Grand Palace Opening Hours Wat Phrae Kaeo am – pm Entrance Fee Wat Phrae Kaeo 500 Baht ca. 13,50 € Good to know Be sure to follow the prevailing dress code to enter the complex it is strictly controlled. This includes a top covering the shoulders and a bottom at least up to the knees. Wat Phrae Kaeo Wat Phrae Kaeo and the Grand Palace are located right next to Wat Pho. As you can see, the entrance fee might not be particularly cheap compared to other sights in town. However, what you get to see inside is definitely unique and an important part of Bangkok’s culture and history. Moreover, the entrance fee includes not only one temple but more than 50 buildings and statues. Beautiful buildings, statues, and, of course, the Emerald Buddha are just waiting to be admired by you. The Emerald Buddha is located in its own chapel Phra Ubusot and is considered the main attraction of the remarkable temple complex. Fun Fact Although the statue is called Emerald Buddha, it is actually made of jade. Wherever you look, you will discover something new and beautiful. What remains especially in good memory is the attention to detail with which this temple complex was designed. The richness of detail in each attraction is hardly surprising, considering that the facility’s construction once took more than a hundred years. But the long construction time definitely pays off. Everywhere, details and decorations will awaken your curiosity. Therefore, be sure to take enough time when you visit the temple complex of Wat Phrae Kaeo. The only drawback is the crowds of tourists, which often make it difficult to take nice shots and explore the temple grounds more relaxedly. Therefore, it may be worthwhile to come here early in the morning directly to the temple’s opening to avoid the tourist crowds. Grand Palace For around 150 years, this palace used to be the home of several Thai Siam kings. The architecture of this place is highly orientated toward the former palace in Ayutthaya, which the Burmese army had destroyed. The visit to the Royal Palace of Bangkok includes, first of all, the exploration of the Throne Hall and other imposing building complexes. The palace is considered one of the most sacred places in all of Thailand and is, therefore, one of the most important sights in the whole country. Wat Arun – Temple of Dawn Opening Hours Wat Arun am – pm Entrance Fee Wat Arun 50 Baht ca. 1,30 € Wat Arun is located directly next to the Chao Phraya River. If you want to visit this beautiful temple, it is easiest to take the ferry up to the other side. The fee of the ferry is 3 Baht/ 0,08€/ $0,09However, there is also the option to take a detour over one of the bridges Wat Arun is one of Bangkok’s landmarks and an integral part of the riverfront skyline. With its colorful flower facades, this temple is also a really unique specimen from a closeup. If you want to enjoy an even better view of the Chao Phraya and the temple complex surrounding Wat Arun, you can also follow the stairs up to the top of the temple platform. From here, you can also see the bars and restaurants on the other side of the river. Right here, you can end your first day in the Thai capital in a laid-back way. Day 2 of our Bangkok Itinerary Wat Saket – Golden Mount Opening Hours Wat Saket Tue – Sun am – pm; Mon 07 am – 07 pm Entrance Fee Wat Saket 50 Baht ca. 1,30 € The Wat Saket was actually one of our highlights in Bangkok. Der Wat Saket is located on top of the Golden Mount at the height of 79 meters/ 260 feet. To reach the temple, you have to climb up 344 steps. If you can’t do it at once, there are benches everywhere on the way up to sit down and get some rest. The temple is full of bells of several sizes. So, whenever there is a breeze, you can hear the jingling. In addition, you can hear a typical prayer over the loudspeakers. Even if you most probably cannot understand the meaning, already the sound of the prayer is absolutely relaxing. Besides the imposing golden stupa on the hilltop, which is home to an Indian Buddha statue, the climb up Golden Mount is worth it just for the wonderful view that awaits you here – a spectacular panorama of Bangkok impresses, especially on a clear day. Golden Mount Fun Fact Contrary to what you might expect, the mountain is an artificially raised construct. Wat Ratchanatdaram Opening Hours Wat Ratchanatdaram 08 am – 05 pm Entrance Fee Wat Ratchanatdaram 20 Baht ca. 0,55 € This temple is especially popular for its size. Compared to other temples in Bangkok, it is particularly small. But that doesn’t mean it is any less worth visiting this temple. You can find a huge amount of Buddha sculptures around. The Wat Ratchanatdaram was commissioned to be built by the King in 1846. He wanted this temple for his niece in order for her to have more silence when meditating. Doesn’t everyone want such a generous uncle? Wat Benchamabophit – The Marble temple Opening Hours Wat Benchamabophit 06 am – 05 pm Entrance Fee Wat Benchamabophit 20 Baht ca. 0,55 € This temple is called Marble temple for a reason it was built in 1899 out made of original Italian Marble. Wat Benchamabophit is, in our opinion, one of the most beautiful and impressive temples in Bangkok. I can absolutely recommend a visit to this temple. Just take care. The ground can get super slippery when it’s raining and might be a little hot when the sun is shining. By the way, inside the Wat Benchamabophit, you can find more than 50 different Buddha Sculptures. So feel free to take some time to walk around the temple complex and look at the various relics. Chinatown Chinatown in Bangkok is not far from the city center and Wat Benchamabophit. So you can walk there about 3 km. Of course, you can also use public transportation. This district of Bangkok is home to a large part of the Chinese living in Bangkok. With its colorful signs and Chinese flair, the Chinese quarter of the city is so different from the other parts of the city and, therefore a real must-see. There is a long narrow street full of street food stalls offering Chinese and Thai delicacies. Also, in these streets, you will find dozens of small stores and stalls that offer almost anything you can imagine. It is worthwhile to walk through Chinatown and let yourself drift. It gives you the feeling of suddenly being somewhere completely else. Special highlights are the main street, Yaowarat Road, and Wat Traimat with its precious golden Buddha. Eat yourself through the dozens of street food joints and discover fascinating corners in Chinatown. For the particularly knowledge- hungry, it’s worth taking a Chinatown street food tour, this one on GetYourGuide. Day 3 of our 5 Days Bangkok itinerary Lumpini Park Opening Hours Lumpini Park am – 09 pm Entrance Fee Lumpini Park free of charge A visit to Lumpini Park is one of the best free things to do in Bangkok. It offers tranquility and relaxation and, therefore, a little change from the last days in the busy city. If you have visited Central Park in New York City before, you might know how nice it can be to see some green for a change and get some fresh air. This park is perfect for a nice walk after breakfast to reload your energy and get some rest from the busy prior days. BACC – Bangkok Art & Culture Center A not-yet so-touristy attraction in Bangkok is the Bangkok Art & Culture Center – short BACC. Inside you can find various exhibitions, like in a museum. My friend Masreeya, who lived in Bangkok for a long time and grew up nearby, brought us here. – A real Bangkok insider tip. Actually, we were planning to see an exhibition about the king. Unfortunately, it was already closed. But no problem, we found different kinds of other exhibitions that we really liked. And the best is the entrance was completely free of charge. Khao San Road The Khao San Road is probably the most famous street in Bangkok. Here you can find all sorts of things, with everything from Thai massages, souvenirs of every kind, clothes, tailors, travel agencies, and restaurants to several kinds of street food stables. I can’t just emphasize enough how much you should absolutely try different kinds of street food if you can like Mango sticky rice or chocolate from Bangkok!. Most of it is super delicious. Furthermore, unlike in this area’s restaurants, you can save some money by eating street food. But even if you are looking for your daily dose of Western Food, this is also the place to be! During the old times, the Khao San Road was used to sell rice. The name Khao San Road actually translated means Street of polished rice Anyway, since the 80s, the Khao San Road became more popular when more and more backpackers came to see it. Day 4 of 5 Days in Bangkok Chao Phraya River The Chao Phraya is beside the Mekong, the most important river in Thailand. It runs through Bangkok and separates some of the sights from the rest of the city. You can either get to the other side by ferry for 3 Baht/ ca. 0,08€/ $0,09 or take one of the bridges. If you like to explore the city from the river, you can join different kinds of boat tours. Just check out the offers at the pier or book a tour online in advance, like this one. Siam Shopping Center Bangkok is known to be a modern city and a shopping paradise. We heard that Asian women especially love to go shopping. At least that’s what some Asian men told us. The Siam Shopping Center is probably one of the biggest malls I have ever seen. We actually got even a little lost inside when hiding inside from the rain. If you are a shopping enthusiast or are just looking for a souvenir of Bangkok, this is the right place for you. You will probably find every kind of shop you could be looking for. Soi Cowboy One of the most controversial places in Bangkok. On the one hand, I guess everyone wants to see this street for themselves. On the other hand, it might have a bad reputation. You will find the street full of lightly dressed Thai girls. And ladyboys and men looking for them. Murray Head described this part in his 1984 song One night in Bangkok as “The bars are temples, but the pearls ain’t free. You’ll find a god in every golden cloister. And if you’re lucky, then the god’s a she“ As a woman, I kinda felt a little bit out of place walking around in this area, to be honest maybe it’s just me, though. I kind of had the same feeling about the other few female tourists, though. However, this is the place to see the “authentic Bangkok” for many people. And we even saw a family walking around this street. Day 5 – Day Trip from Bangkok In the surroundings of Bangkok, you can find many great options for day trips. Here are two popular options. Day Trip to the Floating Market & Maeklong Railway Market Several times a day, the train runs through the market It’s not that easy to get here by public transport, but still not impossible. However, if you find it too complicated, you can simply book a tour this one to visit the exciting train market. Day Trip to Kanchanaburi Kanchanaburi is a town near Bangkok that is famous for its Bridge which you might know from the famous movie the bridge over the River Kwai. But also the surrounding nature and the city itself with its night market is worth a visit. You can also learn more about the tragic history of the region during the war by visiting the nearby Hellfire Pass. You can get all the information about Kanchanaburi and Day Trips from there in our comprehensive Kanchanaburi Guide. More time?

After the end of World War II, he revolutionized the Thai silk industry. But he also made a name for himself as an art connoisseur and collector. Today, his house is considered one of the most beautiful attractions in Bangkok. But not only the impressive wooden architecture is a reason for a visit to the Jim Thompson House, which by the way, consists of six individual buildings. The collected works of art inside are also a real experience, especially for art lovers.

Getting from Bangkok airport to the city center The chances are that you will be arriving in Bangkok by air. If not, then skip this section and don’t worry, as you’ll likely already be in the city center. There are two main airports in Bangkok; Suvarnabhumi Airport BKK and Don Muang Airport DMK. Don Mueang Airport tends to handle domestic flights and some short distance international flights whereas Suvarnabhumi Airport is the main international airport and is much larger. Distance from Bangkok Airport to the city center Don Muang Airport is 25km north of Bangkok and tends to handle domestic flights and some short distance international flights Suvarnabhumi International Airport is 25km east of the city and is the main international airport for Bangkok. It is much larger and well connected to the Bangkok center. How to get from Suvarnabhumi Airport to Bangkok Airport Rail Link – Operating from 6 am to midnight, Bangkok’s Airport Rail Link is a great choice as it easily connects with both the BTS Skytrain and the Metro. The total travel time is around 30 minutes and tickets are about $ Transfer – This is by far the easiest option as you can organize a private transfer to meet you at the airport and take you straight to your accommodation and operates 24 hours a day. However, as you’d expect, it is also the most expensive and can cost anywhere between $30 – $50. Expect the journey to take 40-50 taxis – Another easy option would be a regular taxi. It will be quite a bt cheaper than a private transfer, probably in the $15 region, but it will depend a lot on where exactly in the city you need to be. ravel time 40 to 50 minutes Bangkok airport to the city by BMTA Public Bus – At around $ this is the cheapest way to get from Suvarnabhumi Airport to Bangkok, but it will take a lot longer, usually over an hour. The bus operates from 5 am to 11 pm daily. My recommendation Even if you are on a really tight budget, for the additional $1, I’d go for the Airport Rail Link every time. If you want convenience then the Taxi is also a good option. Bangkok Don Muang airport to the city center Metered taxis – Try to ignore the touts and limousine drivers who approach you inside the airport and pass through to the taxi rank. A metered taxi will be in the region of $ and taxi/bus combo – If you want to save a bit of money you can take a taxi around $2 or the A1 bus $1 from the airport to Mo Chit Skytrain station that is on the Sukhumvit line. From here you can hop on the BTS and make your way where you need to. My recommendation Taxi BTS combo. Cheap and effective. Scams to look out for in Bangkok As a tourist in Bangkok you are almost certainly going to run into a scam or two, so be sure to keep your wits about you and if someone other than on official tourist office is giving you “helpful” information, take it with a pinch of salt. By far the most common scam is “The temple is closed” one. In and around the Grand palace you’ll find a number of friendly locals who’ll give you the disappointing news that the palace is closed for visits due to a holiday or a celebration. Sometimes it may be all day, others just a few hours. At this point, they’ll recommend a tuk-tuk driver who can take you on a tour of the city or a river cruise and basically just lie to sell you something. When I encountered it, even though I was aware of this common plot, the man was dressed in a uniform, he looked like a government official, so it was really hard not to believe him. But I ignored him and funnily enough, the Palace was open. While selling a tour option is pretty harmless, there is a slightly more sinister version of it called the Bangkok gem scam, also known as the Lucky Buddha Day Scam. Once you have gotten into the tuk-tuk, the driver tells you it’s a special day to buy gems and happens to have a friend who owns a jewelry store. Long story short, he takes you there, and they convince you to buy precious stones but they never turn up. It sounds so obvious and you’re probably thinking, I’ll never fall for that, but people do all the time, smart people, they are just so good at what they do. Always check for yourself. Sometimes the attractions are really closed, but maybe they aren’t. Do you really lose anything by checking for yourself? I went to Wat Arun on the same day, and it was unfortunately really closed for that day. Still, I could take some great pictures from outside, and I did experience the very cheap ferry ride across the river. Day 1 – Chatuchak Weekend Market, Get a massage, Visit ChinatownDay 2 – Grand Palace, iconic Temples, river ferry, National Theatre, Bangkok nightlifeDay 3 – Ayutthaya Day TripDay 4 – Return from Ayutthaya, Khao San Road, Take a night marketDay 5 – Visit a Museum, Watch Muay Thai, and Shopping in Siam Square So, let’s finally talk about what to do in Bangkok in my 5 day itinerary. DAY 1 – Weekend Market and Chinatown The Grab driver who took me on my journey from the Airport to my hostel recommended I visit the Chatuchak weekend market the next day. Having done absolutely no research into where to go in Bangkok before arriving there, I decided to follow his recommendation. Shopping at the Chatuchak Weekend Market I was lucky that my first day in Bangkok was a Sunday, which means the famous Chatuchak Market was open. The market is open every week from Friday to Sunday. On Fridays from 6 to 12 and on Saturday and Sunday from 9 to 9 Chatuchak Market is the biggest market of its kind in the world and definitely one of the top things to do in Bangkok. While walking around aimlessly is fantastic, you never know what kinds of treasures you might find, there is also a very convenient app to find your way around the market. You can search for shops and other facilities by category, and the in-app map will guide you from your current location to the destination. Everything at the Market is super cheap, and so I really couldn’t stop myself from buying a natural lemongrass soap for 80 bahts and some beautiful trousers for 100 bahts 3 US dollars!. The vendors are accommodating but not pushy at all which is great if you just want to browse and see what’s on offer. Get a foot massage at Good Massage you can’t leave Thailand without getting a Thai massage. After walking for a couple of hours in the narrow streets and the heat, I got tired. A foot massage at a time like this was the perfect remedy. There are many massage parlors throughout the city, I found mine via the useful Chatuchak Market App and paid 250 bahts 8 US dollars for a one hour foot, head, and shoulder massage. A one-hour foot Thai massage costs the same, and as far as I could see all the shops have exactly the same prices. But the level of comfort might be different air conditioning, chairs, and wifi are all things you might want to consider. A Thai full body massage is also a good idea and is available in most massage parlors. But know this. A Thai massage is very different from your regular soft and soothing rubbing massage, this is more about manipulating your body and getting all the cracks out of your system. I’ll be honest and say it’s not always a relaxing experience, but you will feel amazing after. What to eat at Chatuchak Weekend Market There is so much delicious-looking food at the weekend market. I had my first but not my last mango with sticky rice of my visit. It was delicious! For lunch, I went to the food court and had delicious Pad Thai and Tom Yum fried rice. It was freshly prepared, super cheap and so yummy. There are proper restaurants around the market, but I recommend you eat at the food court, sitting on a plastic chair and eating from a plastic plate. It is way cheaper and the atmosphere is entirely different. I also wanted to try the coconut ice cream that was on offer everywhere, but after lunch, I was so full I couldn’t possibly eat any more — an excellent reason to revisit Bangkok, don’t you think. Visit Chinatown I asked one of my Thai friends for a food recommendation, and she suggested I check the food in Chinatown. So, I tried to get a taxi from Chatuchak Market to Chinatown, but the taxi drivers who wait around at the exits of the market are there to rip off tourists, and I couldn’t find a single one who was willing to turn on their meter. They also wanted between 200 and 300 bahts for a distance I knew wouldn’t even cost 100. I said thanks, but no thanks, and took the metro which was better anyway because I could avoid the crazy traffic of Bangkok. Chinatown Gate I got off at Hua Lamphong Station the central railway station in Bangkok and walked the short way to Chinatown. The great Chinese gate was my first stop. After a couple of pictures, I headed into the heart of Chinatown, where you can get a wide variety of Chinese and Thai street food. Eat Lobster for dinner If you can afford it, I recommend you have dinner at one of the seafood restaurants in China town for example Jumbo Lobster. As the name suggests, they sell humongous lobsters seriously I had never seen such big lobsters before. I can’t afford lobster for dinner, but I still drank in the atmosphere at one of these restaurants, ordering some fried rice and fresh coconut and watching the lobsters be prepared in different ways grilled or topped with cheese and baked . . . Another thing to do in Bangkok on my next visit! If you are a foodie, a Chinatown food tour may be right up your street. Day 2 – Grand Palace and Temples On day 2 it is time to explore some culture in Thailand which can be found abundantly in the old town area of Bangkok. A visit to the Grand Palace and Wat Pho, as well as some of the other famous temples in Bangkok, are all possible in one day. I started my day at a typical Thailand style cafe with some real Thai breakfast. Hia Tai Kee is where the locals have their morning coffee, but they do have pictures of their menu, and therefore it was very foreigner-friendly. The iced mocha was delicious and abundant, and it fit perfectly with the breakfast, a plate filled with sausages, toast, an egg, and a small salad. A visit to the Grand Palace After this rich breakfast, I was ready to explore the Grand Palace. As I already mentioned above, I took a taxi to the site and the first person who talked to me already wanted to scam me. But not with me. I ignored him and went to the Palace, which was open to visitors. At least to those who were willing to pay the ticket price of 500 bahts. I was shocked at the price, at least at first. But the ticket includes not only the entrance fee to the Grand Palace but also a 30-minute classical dance performance at the Thailand National Theater, which I decided also to attend that day. The is also the option of a ticket that includes entry to Vimanmek Palace and Abhisek Dusit Throne Hall. Alternatively, you can book a guided tour in advance. This is also a nice way to avoid any potential scams, such as the ones I mentioned earlier. The Grand Palace was, well, grand. There is no other word for it. It is an impressive area of buildings, temples, and roofed over corridors with beautiful paintings, mosaics, and carvings. You can spend hours walking around the area and finding new things to discover around every corner. Unfortunately, you are not alone in doing so. Even in the heat, it was crowded like crazy. It is home to Wat Phra Kaew or Wat Phra Si Rattana Satsadaram to give it its full name, a large temple complex that is ais regarded as the most sacred Buddhist temple in Thailand. In English, the name translates to the Temple of the Emerald Buddha. It is one of the best highlights of the tour. By the way, the dress code is strict, and men and women are advised to wear long trousers and shirts that cover the shoulders no shorts or tank tops. This is enforced at the entrance, and you will be turned away or given clothing to change into if your dress isn’t deemed appropriate. Grab the river ferry across the Chao Phraya River From the Grand Palace, I walked the way to the ferry crossing over the Chao Phraya River to Wat Arun. You can also take a Tuk-tuk if you don’t feel like walking, just make sure you agree on a price before you get on. The public ferry crossing over the river cost a total of 4 baths 13 cents, and it was quite lovely to see the city from the river. Visit Wat Arun Temple Wat Arun, the temple of the dawn, is worth a visit not only because of its location directly at the riverside but also because of its unique and stunning design. Unfortunately, on the day of my visit, it was closed for some kind of ceremony at many monks were attending. I got to snap some pictures from outside, at least. And if you want to dress up in typical Thai clothing, called Chut Thai, to take some pictures with the Wat Arun temple in the background, you can. Discover Wat Pho My visit to the first temple was shorter than expected, and I was back on the other side of the river in no time. That left me enough time to visit Wat Pho where you can see the golden reclining Buddha. At 46 meters long it is an imposing statue. Don’t forget to take a picture of its feet. Trust me. The ticket price to enter Wat Pho temple grounds is 100 bahts a little over 3 dollars and included a small bottle of water. If you asked me, I think every entrance fee in Bangkok should include a small bottle of water. In the heat, you really need it to avoid a heat stroke. A few more temples in Bangkok to visit Of course, Wat Pho and Wat Arun are just two of the more popular temples in Bangkok, but that is bearly scratching the surface, there are so many more to discover. Here are a few more to consider if you have a longer stay or would like a few different choices Wat Saket Temple Temple of the Golden Mount – Perched on an 80-meter-tall manmade hill, the temple welcomes worshippers year-round. there are 300-steps to get to the top of Wat Saket, but they are well maintained and the view is worth Ratchanatdaram Woravihara Loha Prasat – Close to The Golden Mount, Wat Ratchanatdaram is an intricate temple with an iron roof made of 37 spires signifying the 37 enlightenment virtues of BuddhismWat Benchamabophit Dusitwanaram – The elaborate stepped-out roofs and ornate gables really make this temple stand out. Wat Benchamabophit is also known as The Marble Temple, it is well known in Bangkok and is a major tourist attraction. Take in a show at the Thai National Theatre From Wat Pho, I walked to the Thailand National Theater to watch a performance of Kohn, the masked dance drama. Or at least a 30-minute adaptation with English explanations in the form of subtitles displayed over the stage. It was quite entertaining with the exotic dance, bright costumes, and interesting music, and the entry was included in my Grand Palace ticket price, so there was nothing to lose. Unfortunately, the temperature in the theater felt like it was below freezing point. And even though I always wear long trousers and I had a cardigan with me I was frozen solid after 30 minutes. Enjoy dinner at Supanniga Eating Room The last highlight of the day was a delicious meal at Supanniga Eating Room. From the rooftop, you can see the party and dinner cruises floating by on the river and the beautifully lit up Wat Arun. The experience was high class but surprisingly more affordable than I had expected. For two people we paid 1200 bahts 40 USD. Even on a budget trip around the world, I want to splurge sometimes. And that dinner was a very lovely luxury. Is it strange to return to a 3 dollar a night bed after a 20 dollar dinner? Maybe. But that’s totally what I did. Test the Bangkok nightlife If you want to continue into the early hours, Bangkok is not shy about coming forward in its nightlife. There are many wonderful rooftop bars with live music and of course but I have to also mention Soi Cowboy. While it’s not really my thing, it is probably the most famous sight in Bangkok and has featured in many movies including The Hangover 2 and Bridget Jones The Edge of Reason. It is a small street, around 150 meters long with more than 30 mostly go-go bars packed into it. The atmosphere is pretty wild and has been described as “the place morality and decency forgot” and mostly populated by travelers and ex-pats. If you are looking for the seedy side of Bangkok, the area is within walking distance from the BTS Sky train Asok Station and the Bangkok MRT’s Sukhumvit Station. Day 3 – Ayutthaya Day Trip When I’m in a city for 4 or 5 days, I love to try and include a day trip to explore a little further away. In fact, this time I included an overnight, so I was returning to Bangkok the following day. There are many day trips from Bangkok you can consider Rose GardenThe Floating Markets in Damnoen SaduakAmphawa floating marketKoh Si ChangSamut PrakanKanchanaburiAnd many more Damnoen Saduak Floating Market is the most famous floating market in Thailand that is great for photo shooting. If you want the best trip from Bangkok, this should be on your list the market is very lively and beautiful. However, my recommendation out of all of the alternatives is Ayutthaya. It is easy and cheap to get to and just dripping in history. If you also decide to stay overnight recommended You can easily bolt on a visit to the monkey temple in Lopburi, one of my favorite places ever. Rent a bike and explore the temples The best way to explore the city is by bicycle. At my accommodation, I could borrow a bike for free, but even if your accommodation doesn’t have bicycles, you can rent them for a very low price at every corner. Being the old capital of Thailand boasts countless beautiful temples and ruins throughout the sprawling Ayutthaya National Park. And if you have the time and money to visit them all I recommend you do so. If you only have one day you might want to prioritize. During my trip I visited the following temples Wat Mahathat Most famous for the banyan tree that over the course of hundreds of years has grown around a Buddha’s head. Probably the most photographed image of Ratchaburana Designed similarly to Wat Mahathat next door but in a much better condition, and less visited. Therefore it is much better for taking Lokayasutharam Home to the reclining Buddha of Ayutthaya. Different from the one in Bangkok, because it is made from stone and lying in the open rather than being housed in a gigantic hall. If you would like to know more about the park, check out my Ayutthaya National Park guide. A few other things to do include a short visit to the Petch Fortress, a stroll and maybe dinner at the lively Ban Lan Night Market, and just 30 mins or so by train you’ll find the Monkey temple in Lopburi. How to get from Bangkok to Ayutthaya There are multiple ways to get from Bangkok to Ayutthaya. You can take a bus, minivan, taxi, or tour, but the cheapest option is to take the train, and that is what I did. You can see more details in this guide. Ayutthaya Tours from Bangkok If you don’t want to organize your own trip, you can also participate in an Ayutthaya day tour from Bangkok. I recommend checking out the From Bangkok Ayutthaya Day Tour by Bus & Boat on Get Your Guide. What to eat in Ayutthaya Aside from the Thai food that you can get anywhere in Thailand, there are a couple of local delicacies that originated there and that you simply have to try during your one day in Ayutthaya. Boat noodles The name boat noodles’ comes from the boats these noodles used to be sold from. Nowadays the only boat they come into contact with is the ones put in restaurants for decoration. Boat noodles are a strongly flavored noodle soup made from pork and beef served with pork meatballs and liver. The dish is served in a small bowl and to get really full, most order at least 2 to 5 bowls. I had two bowls of noodles at Pa Lek Boat Noodle and they were delicious! Roti Saimai Roti Saimai is Ayutthaya’s cotton candy. But it is better than cotton candy because it comes in crazy colors and is served in a sweet roti an Indian style crepe. I tried very hard to buy one in the morning on my second day in Ayutthaya. But even though I visited the area that is famous for many Roti Saimai stands they typically only open in the evenings and I was not able to try any. Where I stayed in Ayutthaya I stayed at the Ray Nu Guest House. A private room with a shared bathroom costs about 13 US dollars here. It comes with WIFI and a very simple kitchen for you to use, as well as free bicycle rental. The room is air conditioned, spacious, and clean, although the walls are very thin and you can hear what the people in the next room are talking about. You can see more reviews, check availability, and book your stay at Ray Nu Guest House by clicking here. If you are looking for something even cheaper, a dormitory bed at 1301 Hostels Ayutthaya might just be what you are looking for. The reviews are excellent, and from the pictures, this hostel seems very modern, comfortable and well thought through. At 6 dollars a night it isn’t quite as cheap as hostels in Bangkok but definitely a reasonable price for a bed including breakfast. DAY 4 – Return from Ayutthaya and Khao San Road I spent the morning of my third day exploring more of Ayutthaya read the full Ayutthaya itinerary here and headed back to Bangkok at around noon. I arrived back at my hostel in the afternoon. Enough time to explore a little bit more of Bangkok if you aren’t too tired. Khao San Road Kevin Poh from Petaling Jaya, Malaysia – Bangkok’s Khaosan Road Not far from my hostel was the chaos of Khao San Road, the famous backpacker mile where you can buy clothing and knock off t shirts, exotic street food such as grilled crocodile and roasted worms, and cheap beer. The street is lined with bars, and party hostels and everything is loud, flashing, and in my opinion just a little bit too crazy. Surprisingly, everything is also a little bit more expensive than in other parts of the city, so there was really no good reason for me to linger. It was enough to have seen it once. If you are a party backpacker, this is the place to be. If you aren’t, about 15 minutes on Khao San Street will probably be enough for you. Dinner at The Family What I needed was a quiet place to relax that evening, and The Family restaurant is the perfect place to do that. Directly at one of Bangkok’s canals with cozy seating inside and outside and the cutest cats roaming around it was great to end the day here. DAY 5 – GOODBYE BANGKOK With an early flight, I didn’t actually get to do anything on my last day in Bangkok. I slept in, checked out, and made my way to the airport. I used a regular metered taxi and paid almost the same price as I did using Grab. If you still have more time on your last day here are a couple of additional attractions in Bangkok. A river trip I did mention the dinner and party cruises on the Chao Phraya River, right? You could participate in one of them as a memorable evening. There are also other options for a river cruise up and down the river, you could for example simply take a water taxi to another part of Bangkok to get a glimpse of the city from the water. Watch Muay Thai No matter where you go in Thailand you will find Thai kickboxing, called Muay Thai. But the biggest fights happen in Bangkok. If you are into these kinds of sports you shouldn’t miss watching a fight in Bangkok. If you can, the Rajadamnern Boxing Stadium is the home of the sport in Thailand and one of the best places to watch it in Bangkok. You can buy a VIP ticket for a Muay Thai boxing match on Get Your Guide! Shopping in Siam Square On for the shopaholics among you. Siam Square is known as the center of Bangkok and home to many many luxury shopping malls such as Siam Center. If you wanted to break free of the markets and have a bit of a decadent shopping spree, this is the place to do it. While we’re talking about shopping, if it is your thing, you may also enjoy a visit to Siam Paragon Mall. It is one of the largest malls in Thailand and as well as stores are home to a 15-screen cinema, an opera concert hall, the Sea Life Bangkok Ocean World aquarium, and the Thai Art Gallery. It also has a bowling alley and karaoke center! Take a night market The atmosphere in night markets is fantastic and one of the better ones in Bangkok is the Train Night Market Ratchada, a vibrant market with many stalls selling a variety of goods & street food with live music. It is easy to get to on the Bangkok Subway known as the MRT Blue Line. Just get out at the Thailand Cultural Centre and you’re pretty much there. Visit a Museum There are a number of great museums to enjoy in Bangkok that would certainly deserve a place on many itineraries, here are some of the best Jim Thompson House The Jim Thompson House is one of the more quirky tourist attractions in Bangkok. It sits on the Saen Saeb Canal and is a complex of 6 traditional Thai style teakwood houses that have been transported to the center of the city from Ban Krua Silk Village. Jim Thompson was an American businessman who spent over 30 years in the Thai silk industry. Aside from the houses, visitors come for the relaxing garden and the wonderful collection of Bangkok art and antiques. There is an entrance fee of 200 baht around $ Erawan museum While I didn’t get to it on this visit, it is certainly going to be a part of my next trip to Bangkok. Though officially it’s located outside of the city, in Samut Prakan, it’s close to the Bang Na BTS station. Built over three floors topped by a huge elephant sculpture, it is all about the heritage of Thai culture. The first floor represents the underworld, The second floor represents the earth or human world, and the top floor represents the Tavatimsa Heaven, with each floor having exhibits to match the theme. The museum is surrounded by a wonderful tropical garden complete with water features and intricate sculptures. Bangkok National Museum More of a traditional museum, the National Museum is home to extensive exhibits of Thai art and history and is one of the largest in Southeast Asia. Relax and people-watch in a central park Parks are great places to see day to day life, grab an ice cream and kick back to some serious people watching. My recommended choice would be Lumphini Park. It is one of the largest green spaces in central Bangkok, spanning over 500,000 sq m and popular with tourists and residents. From jogging and cycling to more leisurely pursuits such as tai chi or a paddleboat ride on the lake, there is always something to see. If you time it right you may even get to join in with some of the free workouts that happen regularly, just listen out for the pumping techno music and get involved. But Lumphini Park isn’t your only option, here are some other popular parks in Bangkok Chatuchak ParkBenjasiri ParkBenjakitti ParkQueen Sirikit ParkRama IX Park How to get around Bangkok Even though Bangkok is a vast city and traffic sometimes sucks it is relatively easy to get around. Taxis You can hail a taxi from almost everywhere, and if they use their meter, it is quite cheap to get from a to b. Just make sure that they turn it on, or tell them to turn it on if they don’t do it right away. If they refuse, I would insist or get out. It isn’t worth paying what most often is three times the price it should be. Grab Grab is the Asian answer to Uber and another option in Thailand. I used it to get from the Airport to my hostel, and for a more than 25-kilometer long drive had to pay 300 bahts 10 US dollars. For my ride back to the Airport I took a taxi and spent roughly the same price. This tells me Grab isn’t necessarily cheaper than hailing a cab, but it might be more convenient because you don’t have to try to explain to your taxi driver where you want to go. I did, however, experience times when I wanted to use Grab but couldn’t find a driver in Bangkok. In those cases, I found a taxi. If you ever have difficulty explaining where you want to go, it sometimes helps to show them a picture of your destination or tell them a nearby street name. Tuk-tuk Your other option to get around Bangkok is tuk tuks. Especially in the popular tourist spots they are everywhere and will offer their services. They are usually cheaper than a taxi or Grab but make sure you agree on the price with the tuk tuk driver before you get in. Write it down to be 100% sure that you are talking about the same amount to avoid unnecessary confrontation when you arrive. Metro Many people don’t really have this on the radar, but Bangkok has a metro. It is very cheap to use and especially during rush hour a much better option than sitting around in a taxi for long periods of time. Google Maps is your friend. When you search for routes from a to b, it will usually give you public transport options, buses as well as the metro. The BTS Skytrain How about a ride in the air-conditioned, high-speed trains zipping over Bangkok, called the Skytrain? From the train, you have fantastic views of the city from above, which makes it kind of an attraction in its own right, but it is also a convenient way to get from a to b. If you’re spending more than a few days in Bangkok, I’d recommend getting a BTS Skytrain to pass for unlimited travel during your stay. Public buses I didn’t personally take a bus in Bangkok. For one, they are way slower than any other form of transport, and two, it is tough to figure out which bus to take because the information on Google Maps is all written in Thai. With so many other ways of getting around it didn’t really seem worth trying to figure out the public bus system in Bangkok. Tour bus The final choice is the Hop on Hop off tour bus. These are great if you plan to explore the city, I often recommend them for shorter itineraries, but they are also a great way to get your bearings in larger cities. Get a local SIM Card for Thailand The first thing I try to do when I arrive in a new country is to buy a Sim card. In Thailand that is made easy, especially if you arrive at the airport. I purchased a Happy Tourist Sim from dtac, 9 GB of data for 7 days. It only cost 179 bahts US dollars for the Sim card including data. You can also use the card to make local phone calls which I always find very practical. They registered my Sim card for me, and everything was set up within minutes. It’s pretty easy to get a SIM card on arrival, but if you’d rather, You can also purchase a Sim card before your arrival in Bangkok through Get Your Guide. Here is a link to your SIM card on Recommended Bangkok Tours Two of my favorite tour companies, Get your Guide and Civitas, offer different kinds of experiences for your time in Thailand. Here are a couple of different ideas. You could do a tour of the Grand Palace, Wat Pho and Wat Arun with a local guide. That way you will learn much more about the history and culture of Bangkok than on your own. Book your Flexi Walking Temple Tour today! Or how about a midnight food tour? You can try local Thai food while taking in the city by night. An unforgettable experience for sure. Check out the price for the Midnight Food Trip by Tuk-Tuk! Another favorite activity that I did on my trip to Thailand was a Thai cooking class. Although I did mine in Koh Lanta, there are plenty of great options available in Bangkok and if you like cooking, you won’t be disappointed. Where to stay in Bangkok As the capital of Thailand, Bangkok is a bustling metropolis, so it really is no wonder that you have countless accommodation options. In my experience traveling to more than 20 countries in the past half-year, I have to say Bangkok has the cheapest accommodation of them all. A really budget-friendly destination. Airbnb in Bangkok Airbnb in Bangkok is cheap and abundantly available. I just checked for private rooms at a local home, and you can find countless options for as little as 10 US dollars a night. For me, that sounds like a fantastic opportunity to get to know some locals and to see how Bangkok locals really live. If you are new to Airbnb, by using this link, you will get a discount on your first booking. And if you are wondering how to find real locals using Airbnb read my detailed post about it. Hostels in Bangkok I don’t know if where I stayed is the best hostel in Bangkok, but it was definitely amazing value in a great location not on Khao San Street, but not far away either. At Stay With The Mixx there are dorm rooms with shared bathrooms for as little as $5 per night! The beds were more or less clean. There was good WIFI, and the shared bathrooms had hot water and toilet paper. As a backpacker on a tight budget, it’s really an excellent place to stay. Click here to check out Stay With the Mixx on or check out the hundreds of other options on the map below. Cheap Hotels in Bangkok If you were hoping for a private room and a little bit more amenities on a small budget, Bangkok can offer that as well. For example, a single room or standard double room with air-con at Hong Hostel will cost you just 15 US dollars a night including a simple breakfast. The reviews for this hotel are incredible with a score of over 9/10 for many categories including staff, cleanliness, and WIFI. But . . . you may not be on a budget at all, in which case you’ll be blown away by the value on offer. have a browse of the map below and see what you think. Final thoughts on my Bangkok itinerary 5 days Bangkok is a great place to start any trip around Thailand or even Asia. It is an effortless place to visit and can be a wonderful travel experience, but only if you are aware of scams and not too trusting of those trying to sell you something. Bangkok and Thailand in general is an excellent place if you are on a very low budget, as accommodation, transport, and food can be found for the lowest prices I have ever seen. But just because it is a backpacker paradise doesn’t mean it doesn’t have lots of cultural value and great activities to offer. And should Bangkok really be too much for you, maybe you should extend your day trip to Ayutthaya to be a 2 or 3-day trip. Just to recover. This 5 days itinerary in Bangkok will make sure you see everything that you should see as a first time visitor Don’t forget to check out my full post about my Ayutthaya day trip, and how to get to Ayutthaya from Bangkok you can find those posts also in my Thailand Travel blog category. 3 bulan setelah menikah, akhirnya aku dan DD punya kesempatan buat jalan-jalan sekaligus honeymoon ke Thailand. Bener-bener seru banget dan gak bisa dilupain. Datang ke berbagai tempat menarik seperti Phi Phi Island, Patong Beach, Big Buddha Phuket, Chatuchak Weekend Market dan berbagai tempat lainnya adalah hal yang sangat menyenangkan bagi kami berdua. Nah, buat kalian yang butuh itinerary jalan-jalan ke Thailand tanpa tur, di artikel ini aku bakal share pengalaman seru jalan-jalan dan itinerary kami di Thailand selama 5 hari 4 malam. Semoga Itinerary ini bisa bermanfaat buat kalian yang butuh ide jalan-jalan di dua kota destinasi wisata terbaik di Thailand yaitu Phuket dan Bangkok. Check this out. Itinerary Thailand 5 Hari 4 Malam Hari 1 – Itinerary Thailand 5 Hari 4 Malam Supaya hari pertama gak sia-sia, sebaiknya beli tiket pesawat pagi hari dari Indonesia ke Thailand. Berikut rekomendasi untuk rundown hari pertama. Beli minuman dingin di daerah Patong Beach 0900 Terbang dari Jakarta ke Phuket Dari Jakarta kami terbang ke Phuket dulu karena aku dapet tiket pesawat yang lebih murah dari pada ke Bangkok. 1300 Perjalanan dari Phuket International Airport ke hotel Aku pilih menginap di daerah Patong, karena ke tempat-tempat wisata yang lain gak terlalu jauh dari sini. Aku menginap di The Crib Patong Hotel. Pertama kali masuk ke kamarnya, kita gak nyangka kalau itu hotel harganya cuma 200 ribu-an per malam. Bener-bener nyaman walaupun sayang pemandangan indah daerah Patong tertutup dengan gedung hotel lain. Oh ya, jangan lupa pake selimut ya karena AC nya dingin banget. 1400 Istirahat dan mandi di hotel Buat kalian yang berencana buat nginap di The Crib Patong Hotel sebaiknya bawa sampo dan sabun sendiri karena sabun dan sampo yang dari hotel menurut aku aromanya agak aneh. Karena kita gak bawa sampo dan sabun sendiri akhirnya kita ke minimarket depan hotel buat beli peralatan mandi lagi. 1600 Jalan kaki ke Patong Beach melewati Bangla Walking Street 1615 Menikmati sunset di Patong Beach, foto-foto dan parachuting 1800 Jalan kaki dari Patong Beach ke Banzaan Fresh Market Kita makan malam dan menikmati kuliner sebanyak-banyaknya di Banzaan Fresh Market karena harganya yang cukup murah dengan rasa bintang lima. halah 1945 Menuju ke Bangla Walking Street Di sini kita bisa melihat penari striptease, ladyboy, dan beberapa atraksi malam di hampir semua restoran. Bisa nyawer juga lho hahaha. 2045 Lanjut ke Mall Robinson Menikmati pertunjukan air mancur yang bercerita tentang sejarah daerah Patong atau yang lebih dikenal dengan nama Jungceylon Water Fountain. 2130 Balik ke hotel dan istirahat Oh ya, kalo kalian travelling ke Thailand, jangan lupa juga beli paket internet ya supaya ga mati kutu pas nyampe tempat wisata, terutama yang suka posting story di instagram. Untuk koneksi internet luar negeri, selain paket roaming, sewa travel wifi dari Indonesia merupakan salah satu yang dapat menghemat cost karena bisa patungan atau tethering sampai 5 gadget. JavaMifi bisa jadi alternatif solusi buat sewa wifi Thailand karena selain keuntungan di atas, baterainya juga awet sampai 15 jam. Untuk sewa bisa langsung ke Hari 2 – Itinerary Thailand 5 Hari 4 Malam Jemur kaki di Phi-phi Island Hari ke 2, kita pergi wisata ke Phi Phi Island. Aku beli paket tur seharga THB ฿1500 / orang. Harga ini sudah include makanan, minuman, snack, speedboat, life vest dan peralatan snorkeling. Jadi kita gak perlu pusing lagi mikirin kebutuhan selama wisata ini. Oh ya, kalau nyusun itinerary sendiri selama di Phi Phi Island ini, harganya akan jauh lebih mahal daripada membeli paket tur. Nah, ini adalah rundown kegiatan Phi Phi Island Tour kami. 0700 Dijemput di hotel dan langsung menuju pelabuhan Begitu sampai di pelabuhan, kita bisa sarapan dan self service dengan makanan yang sudah disediakan oleh tim tur-nya. GRATIS. Selain itu, kita diberikan gelang dengan warna tertentu. Kalau gelang kita berwarna sama dengan orang lain, berarti kita satu tim dengan mereka. Tujuannya untuk bisa saling menjaga sesama anggota tim. Oh ya, gelang ini akan dikembalikan lagi setelah tur selesai dan tidak dipungut biaya sama sekali. 0900 Berangkat dengan speedboat dengan tujuan pertama ke Khai Island Di sini, kita snorkeling selama 40 menit di tepi pantai dan makan buah semangka dan nanas sepuasnya. Selain itu ada free flow drink cola dan air mineral juga. Seru kan? Hehe. Setelah selesai, kita dibawa ke Maya Bay. Ini adalah pulau yang sangat indah dengan pantai yang dikelilingi dengan tebing yang tinggi. Kita diberikan waktu sekitar 1 jam untuk bersantai dan menikmati hamparan pasir putih dengan pemandangan yang indah. Oh ya, tempat ini adalah salah satu lokasi syuting aktor Leonardo Di Caprio dalam proses pembuatan film “The Beach” lho. Jadi keindahannya udah gak diragukan lagi. 1230 Makan siang di Phi Phi Don Island Phi Phi Don Island ini lebih besar daripada pulau-pulau yang sebelumnya kita kunjungi. Sesampainya di pulau ini, aku dan suami makan siang di sebuah restoran paling besar di sana. Semua makanan di sini sudah include dalam paket tur. Di sini, kita hanya diberikan waktu sekitar 1 jam. Jadi kalau gak mau kehilangan kesempatan untuk foto-foto dan menikmati pemandangan di pulau ini, kita harus makan dengan cepat. 1330 Snorkeling di Loh Sammah Bay Setelah selesai dari Phi Phi Don Island, kita dibawa ke Loh Sammah Bay untuk snorkeling lagi. Di wilayah ini, kita bisa melihat ikan-ikan dan terumbu karang dengan lebih jelas karena air di sini sangat jernih. Oh ya, hati-hati jangan sampai menginjak bulu babi ya. Hehe. Sebelum pulang ke pelabuhan, kita akan diajak untuk menikmati pemandangan yang sangat indah di Viking Cave dan juga melihat monyet di Monkey Beach. Jaga barang bawaan kalian ya supaya gak dicuri sama si monyet hahaha. 1600 Perjalanan pulang ke hotel 1800 Hunting makanan di sekitar Patong Sesampainya di hotel, kita hunting makanan lagi di Banzaan Fresh Market. Walaupun hari sebelumnya sudah ke sini, tapi tetap aja belum puas karena masih banyak makanan yang belum sempat kita coba. Hari 3 – Itinerary Thailand 5 Hari 4 Malam Di sini panas banget kalau siang, jangan lupa bawa topi dan jaket ya, Big Buddha Phuket 0800 Sarapan di Bangla Walking Street Setelah checkout dari hotel, kami pergi ke sebuah food stall di Bangla Walking Street untuk makan mie tom yum. Food stall ini menjual beragam bentuk mie mulai dari mie beras lebar, bihun dan mie tepung keriting. Food stall ini kecil dan hanya bisa muat 6 orang untuk makan di tempat. Rasanya enak banget jadi kalian kudu cobain guys. 1000 Perjalanan ke Big Buddha Phuket Perjalanan dari daerah Patong ke Big Buddha Phuket memakan waktu sekitar 45 menit melalui jalan darat dengan jarak sekitar 21 km. Kami menyewa mobil selama 12 jam dengan biaya sebesar THB ฿1500 sudah include dengan supir. Sebenarnya kalau mau lebih hemat, bisa sewa motor saja tapi karena pertimbangan jalan yang cukup berbahaya karena tanjakan dan jalanan yang berkelok-kelok, kami lebih memilih menyewa mobil saja. Biaya sewa motor di sana sekitar THB ฿200 – ฿300 sehari dengan jaminan passport dan harus balikin motornya ke tempat sewanya. 1100 Wisata di Big Buddha Phuket Begitu sampai di Big Buddha Phuket, kita disambut oleh mbak-mbak yang jualan coconut ice cream. Jangan lupa mampir ya karena ice creamnya enak banget dengan harga THB ฿20 – ฿30. Selain melihat dan mengagumi Big Buddha yang super besar, kita juga dapat menikmati pemandangan Phuket dan laut yang sangat indah dari sini. 1330 Perjalanan dari Big Buddha Phuket ke Wat Cha Long Temple Pose dulu. 1400 Makan siang dan foto-foto di Wat Cha Long Temple Bagus banget. Wajib ke sini kalo ke Thailand. 1600 Perjalanan dari Wat Cha Long Temple ke Phuket International Airport Jaraknya sekitar km. Di tengah perjalanan, kita sempat mampir buat beli bumbu masakan tom yum dan curry khas Thailand. 1900 Perjalanan ke Suvarnabhumi International Airport, Bangkok 2330 Perjalanan ke Atrium Boutique Hotel Hotel ini bisa jadi pertimbangan karena reviewnya yang cukup bagus di salah satu situs travel dan berada di pusat kota. Jadi kalau mau naik BTS atau MRT lebih gampang. Kalian bisa pesan hotelnya di sini ya. Hari 4 – Itinerary Thailand 5 Hari 4 Malam Di depan MBK Center 0900 Jalan dari hotel ke Wat Arun Kamu bisa jalan kaki sekitar 14 menit ke stasiun MRT Hwai Khwang. Kemudian berhenti di stasiun Hwa Lamphong. Keluar dari stasiun dan naik bus nomor 41. Lalu berhenti di perhentian ke 14, lupa namanya karena aku juga bingung baca nama tempat pemberhentiannya yang pakai tulisan Thailand hahaha. Setelah itu kamu tinggal jalan kaki sekitar 15 menit lagi untuk sampai Wat Arun. Biar gak ribet pake google maps ya hehe. 1100 Menuju MBK Center Dari Wat Arun kita langsung naik taksi ke MBK Center dengan biaya sekitar THB ฿100. Tapi kalo kalian mau naik MRT dan BTS juga bisa. 1130 Makan siang dan belanja di MBK Center Stasiun BTS Sala Daeng 1600 Jalan kaki dari MBK Center ke Asiatique Pernah gak kalian jalan kaki sejauh 8-9km? Nah waktu itu aku dan Ferddy memutuskan untuk jalan kaki supaya bisa lihat sisi lain dari kota Bangkok cailah. Kita melewati banyak tempat makan dan shopping juga sepanjang jalan. Di tengah perjalanan, kami singgah di Chamchuri Square dan ketemu kaos dengan harga yang sangat miring. Harga kaos dan rok yang aku beli berkisar dari THB ฿60 – ฿80. Kalau di convert ke Rupiah sekitar Rp. – Murah banget kan? Lumayan buat nambah koleksi baju hihihi. 1800 Belanja, foto-foto dan kuliner di Asiatique Balik ke hotel dan istirahat Kami naik perahu gratis yang mengangkut penumpang dari Asiatique ke BTS Sapan Taksin. Kemudian turun di BTS Sala Daeng. Lanjut jalan kaki ke stasiun MRT Silom dan turun di Hwai Khwang. Terus jalan kaki lagi deh sampai di Atrium Boutique Hotel. Oh ya, lebih seru jalan kaki ya guys. Selain gratis, kalian juga bakal dapat pengalaman yang gak akan kalian dapatkan kalau naik kendaraan umum. Hari 5 – Itinerary Thailand 5 Hari 4 Malam 0800 Check out dari hotel dan langsung menuju ke Chatuchak Weekend Market Kalau mau murah dan cepat, kalian bisa naik MRT lagi dari Hwai Kwang dan turun di Chatuchak Park. Kalau pakai mobil akan muter lebih jauh. 0900 Belanja di Chatuchak Weekend Market Tempat ini merupakan surga belanja bagi turis dan hanya buka di akhir pekan hari Sabtu dan Minggu dari jam 9 pagi – 4 sore. Barang-barang yang dijual cukup berkualitas dengan harga yang sangat terjangkau. Oh ya, jangan lupa untuk selalu menjaga barang bawaan kalian selama belanja ya karena katanya banyak copet di sini. 1300 Naik bus A1 dari Chatuchak Weekend Market ke Don Mueang International Airport Waktu itu harganya murah sekitar THB ฿30 / orang. Mendingan naik bus ini daripada naik taksi karena harganya bisa 5 kali lipat. 1540 Kembali ke Jakarta Nah, buat kalian yang sedang mencari itinerary jalan-jalan ke Thailand selama 5 hari 4 malam bisa menggunakan itinerary di atas.
