What to Do and See in Bangkok

If you're familiar with movie musicals, then you might remember "The King and I" which was set in the Kingdom of Siam, now known as Thailand. The Grand Palace in Bangkok was once the home of the real King of Siam and his family. The ornate building now houses a museum, government offices and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha. Fronting the Chao Phraya River, Wat Aran, also called the Temple of Dawn, is another famed landmark. Visit at sunset and the tall, thin spire creates an impressive silhouette. If you feel the need to shop, visit CentralWorld, one of the largest malls ever built. When it's time to relax, head for Lumphini Park in the centre of town. Rent a paddle boat and enjoy a spin around the man-made lake or just wander the pathways through the trees.
