Going to Bangkok in April. What's to do?

Hello Ksmike,

Bangkok is the greatest Place to visit their is lots of place to visit Some of them listed for you Here-

1.Wat Arun (The Temple of Dawn)

Wat Arun (“Temple of Dawn”) is one of the oldest and best known tourist attractions in Bangkok.

2.Grand Palace & Wat Prakeaw

The palace served as the residence of the Kings of Thailand until the mysterious death of King Ananda Mahidol in 1946.

3.Floating Market

4.Temple of the Reclining Buddha (Wat Pho)

Wat Pho is famous for the huge Reclining Buddha statue .

5.Khao San Road

Khao San Road is, technically speaking, a small road located about a block from the Chao Phraya River.

6.Jim Thompson’s House

The infamous CIA operative Jim Thompson revived the Thai silk industry after World War II and had this house assembled

from six traditional Thai-style houses.

7.Bangkok Klongs

Klong is Thai for canal.

There is a lot around Bangkok to see. Join tours, book them when you arrive through your hotel or hire a car and drive some of the new excellent roads outside of Bangkok (not Bangkok itself)

You can go Pattaya, Ayutthaya and the floating markets all within a easy day trip from Bangkok.

Kevin is, of course, on target. Just get the Lonely Planet guidebook and USE it. Everything we could tell you here is in that book.

Do take your wife for a walk in Patpong after dark both for the mass of trinkets and so she can peek into the pole dancing bars to see how the other half lives. I would not take a Western wife one night on Walking Street in Pattaya; she will be traumatized.

Roadhouse BBQ is excellent for a dash of western food and there are many of all kinds in BKK. Go 40km West to Nakhon Pathom, stay overnight in the Rose Garden Teak bungalow and see the elephant show and ride elephant there. Very simple way to get that experience. It will be HOT in April everywhere. No sex workers around there.

Again I say, if your wife is the typical protected feminine rights gal of America, just keep her away from the pole dancing bars and sex worker street show in Nana, for example. I enjoy watching such ladies, no offence to you or her, in pole dancing bars with their wide eyed sneers at lovely YOUNG girls fawning over drunken old fat guys and their pretense at being repulsed but secretly wanting to know "how would it be."

Anyway, have a great time, use taxis and jump from air cond taxi to air cond buildings and miss April HEAT.
