Witness More Attractions with Savings on Flights to Bangkok
by Daisy Wilkinson Travel GuidesBangkok, the capital city of Thailand, is visited by
millions of tourists every year from different corners of the globe. Today, it
would be hard to believe that the city was a small trading post during the
times when the region was ruled by the Ayutthaya Kingdom. Bangkok's phenomenal
rise as a regional force in several matters including business and finance can
be attributed to the Asian investment boom, which began in the late 20th
century. It has now become one of the international hubs for arts,
entertainment, and fashion. During your time spent in the Thai capital, you'll
get to explore its most popular attractions.
The savings made while booking your flights to Bangkok
can be utilised to visit the Grand Palace. It is among the major historic
tourist attractions of the city and a large complex comprising some spectacular
structures. The complex is also home to Wat Phra Kaeo, which is a temple of the
Emerald Buddha. Constructed during the late 18th century, this palace was the
residence for several generations of the Thai Royal Family and is still used
for conducting ceremonies of great significance and accommodating the visiting
heads of state. While visiting the palace, make sure that you are dressed
modestly, covering your arms and legs. Sloppy attire must be completely
avoided.
You can also utilise the amount saved while booking flights
to Bangkok from London to shop for your desired items in the Chatuchak
Market. It is a sprawling weekend market, where shoppers can get everything
from fancy jewellery and religious items to some delicious foods. The market is
also a great place to interact with the locals and learn more about the Thai
way of life. It is just a 5-minute walk from the Mochit Skytrain Station and
Suan Chatuchak Station. You’ll be able to make the most of your visit if you
arrive early during the day.
Also among the attractions you can explore with the
amount saved on your flights to Bangkok from London is Wat Suthat. It is one of
the oldest and beautiful Buddhist temples of the city with impressive
architecture. This temple is not so popular when compared to some of the other
temple complexes in the city, which also has some advantages. Among these
benefits you’ll truly appreciate during your visit are a peaceful environment
and a more intimate experience. Construction of this temple had begun soon
after the coronation of the founder of Chakri dynasty, King Rama I.
If you wish to take a break from your hectic
sightseeing schedules and unwind amidst pleasant natural surroundings, head to
Lumpini Park. This green haven gives you the opportunity to escape the
hustle-bustle of the city and relax under the pleasant shades. Your visit to
this park also allows you to explore a Chinese pagoda and enjoy boating on the
lake. Entry into this park is free for all. One of the greatest experiences
you'll have at this place is watching the tranquil park surrounded on all sides
by towering skyscrapers, which is surprisingly contrasting.
You can also save more on flights
to Jamaica and utilise the savings to explore the island nation’s
popular beaches.
