Suggested Day Trips
Your day starts the day at Wat Saket where you can gain some spiritual insights while the monks make their morning ritual chanting. Then make a short climb up to the golden mount to enjoy the panorama of Ratanakosin Island while listening to the chimes of hundreds of temple bells. From here, it is a short walk to Soi Ban Batra, a handicraft community famed for the art making monk's alms bowls. Then hop on a local shuttle boat on Klong Saen Sap as far as Jim Thompson's mansion, for a guided tour of the house and its Asian antiques.
Experience rural Thailand by traveling out of Bangkok to the rich farmland of Klong Mahasawad. Only an hour from the capital city, this agricultural village is an authentic countryside experience. Take a boat trip on a small village canal, visiting wild orchid farms and water lily ponds. Travel by local mini tractor through rice fields and fruit orchids. Taste the seasonal produce and soak in the fresh air of rural Thailand!
End your trip with a night at...
There’s a magic captured within the four walls of the Sukhothai that is missing from most Bangkok hotels. Sought by many, the Sukhothai is the only property that truly captures the essence of traditional Thailand while still being in the bustling heart of Bangkok.
Travelers who want a taste of the fabled Orient will definitely appreciate The Eugenia, Bangkok's pre-eminent boutique hotel. Centrally located in the heart of the Thai capital, this hidden gem exudes Eastern colonial grandeur.
