Bangkok enraptures with its unique draws

Scrumptious cuisines, overwhelmingly satisfying shopping, and an electrifying nightlife are just some of the trappings of Bangkok holidays. The city offers myriad delights and stunning diversities. While the history bug would do well to visit the Museum of Siam and explore some Thai history, the adrenalin junkie can go diving with sharks at the Siam Ocean World. Although uber modernism is a part and parcel of Bangkok, come morning and one gets to see the spectacle of saffron clad monks walk the streets begging alms. While there is no end of swanky shopping malls, the bargain hunter can steal a deal at any of the scores of humbler street markets.
Check out artefacts from the Neolithic Age at the National Museum or take a ferry ride to the timeless Ko Kret Island. If vanity enraptures you, head to the Vimanmek Palace – supposedly the world’s largest building to have been completely done up in golden teak. Let the Wat Arun temple dazzle your senses. Visit Wat Pho and pay homage to the immense gold plated Reclining Buddha. A Bangkok visit remains incomplete without a trip to the Royal Grand Palace complex, where you get to come up close to the majestic Emerald Buddha in the celebrated Wat Phra Khaeo temple. This is just one of the attractions of this complex.

Bangkok simply bursts with exquisitely unique fun filled activities. Even shopping at the Floating Markets and Night Markets or exploring the bustling streets of Chinatown is not without its share of charm.
