Top Three Bangkok Attractions!

Bangkok, the capital city of Thailand, is one of Asia's most diverse, exuberant cities. Abounding with warm Thai hospitality and attractive sights, it is one of the most frequented cities of Asia, and with that honour comes good travel deals in Bangkok for the benefit of travellers. Make sure you pay a visit to these three places that best encapsulate the city's allure.

The Grand Palace is definitely Bangkok's most impressive sight. Built in 1782, the Grand Palace served as the Thai King's abode for 150 years and has inspired scores of visitors with its landmark architecture and complicated detail. Expect to spend half a day here discovering the various landmarks within the palace grounds itself. There is the Wat Phra Kaew, Thailand's holiest Buddhist Temple which houses the revered Emerald Buddha dating back to the 14th century. Enter the throne halls in the Centre Court where the king used to conduct state business, and marvel at its opulence and elaborate detail.

Beside the Grand Palace lies Wat Pho, or the Temple of the Reclining Buddha. Not only is it one of the most ancient and biggest temples in Thailand, it also is home to the globe's biggest Reclining Buddha statue. The gold-plated statue is 46 metres long and 15 metres high, and his eyes and soles of his feet are made of mother of pearl. Adding to the attraction are 108 auspicious scenes in Chinese and Indian styles carved on the soles. Also explore the rest of the vast complex and check out the more than 1000 Buddha images within.

Vimanmek Palace, located in the Dusit Palace complex, is the world's largest teakwood mansion. It was constructed in 1900 by King Rama V and was used as a royal palace for five years. The breathtaking fact is that this palace, originally constructed somewhere else, was demolished and reassembled in its present location. Today, the large structure has been turned into a museum showcasing the Thai national heritage and commemorating King Rama V by displaying his photographs and personal mementos. Spend your day here feasting your eyes on the wonderful architecture and exploring Thailand's deep history.

Bangkok is a lively city not just confined to its national landmarks and heritage, but you'll find that your experience will be so much more enriched when you explore its streets and indulge in the many activities, performances and events it has to offer.
