TRAVEL PLANNER 2016 – 2017
1. WAT ARUN:
Gaze upwards at the nearly 300-foot-high Khmer-style central prang of this
ancient and architecturally stunning temple.
2. DAMNOEN SADUAK:
Head to this floating market in Ratchaburi for breakfast. Try the
coconut pancakes,
kaeo mangkon
(dragon fruit), and traditional boat noodles in broth.
3. JIM THOMPSON HOUSE:
Tour the home of this American-born architect owner who established
the Thai Silk Company and, later, mysteriously disappeared in Malaysia’s Cameron Highlands.
4. LUMPHINI PARK:
Lounge under a shady palm grove, lunch on pad Thai, and take a swan-boat ride
at this popular green space.
5. CHINATOWN:
To see: the colonial-style architecture and Wat Traimit’s solid-gold Buddha. To eat:
the dim sum, particularly the teochew dumplings.
6. GRAND PALACE:
Take in the structural magnificence of the ornamental throne halls. Within the
royal compound, watch as devotees dip lotus buds into holy water for good luck at Wat Phra Kaew.
7. BOAT TOUR OF THONBURI’S KHLONGS:
Get a feel for a more traditional lifestyle as you drift in a
wooden rowboat along the
khlongs
(canals) west of the Chao Phraya River.
8. ROYAL BARGES NATIONAL MUSEUM:
View the king’s heavily adorned Suphannahong Royal
Barge, and other colossal wooden dugouts and historic articles utilized in the Royal Barge
Procession, a colorful ceremonial tradition dating back to the Sukhothai period.
9. SOI BAN BAAT:
Bring home a hammered-metal alms bowl from this Bangkok community that,
since the 18th century, has crafted and polished these morning-offering vessels carried by Buddhist
monks.
10. SEA LIFE BANGKOK OCEAN WORLD:
Take comfort that the glass of this aquarium’s 270-degree
underwater tunnel separates you from a Jaws-style eye-to-eye standoff with the sharks.
