A Listly List - Spending just two days in Bangkok can give you enough and more time to explore temples, markets, and street food. With some good planning and research, you will get to see a lot of the city’s best highlights without feeling rushed. Let us take a look at how to plan and prepare for a great two days spent in Bangkok.
**Day 1 – Explore Temples and the Old City**
Make sure you select a conveniently located place of accommodation such as Gardina Asoke. Start your day early at the Grand Palace. It opens at 8:30 a.m., and the crowds build up quickly. Wear clothes that cover your shoulders and knees to be respectful while visiting the Thai Cultural sites. The entrance fee will be around 500 baht.
Next in your list of things to see in Bangkok, walk to Wat Pho to see the Reclining Buddha. This temple is nearby and takes less than an hour to visit. You can also try an authentic Thai massage here, where the technique is believed to have first started.
Take a short boat ride across the river to visit the famous Wat Arun. Climb up the steep steps for a view of the Chao Phraya River. In fact, if you time it well, you will be able to see the sun up above reflecting off its surface in the late morning.
You should choose to have lunch at a local spot near Tha Tien Pier. Dishes like pad kra pao (stir-fried basil chicken) and green curry are quite popular and affordable for a meal.
After lunch, head to the famous Jim Thompson House as it is only a short ride away. The house is made of teak and shows traditional Thai architecture. The entry does includes a guided tour that gives background on Thai silk and Thompson’s life.
You will be able to wrap up your first day at one of the famous local night markets. The Asiatique night market combines shopping, food, and river views. Try grilled seafood, mango sticky rice, and fresh juice. Be sure to walk along the riverfront before heading back to your hotel for a good night’s rest.
**Day 2 – Modern Bangkok and Local Life**
You can begin your second day at the famous Chatuchak Market if it’s the weekend. With over 8,000 stalls, it sells everything from clothes to plants to many different souvenirs. A nice treat is to try some coconut ice cream or a Thai-style iced coffee while exploring and walking about.
If you are visiting on a weekday, go to Terminal 21 instead. The mall has different themed floors based on different world cities. The food court on the top floor is quite budget-friendly and clean.
After lunch, visit Lumpini Park and rent a pedal boat or sit by the lake. This spot gives a break from the city noise and shows the slower side of Bangkok.
Next, walk to the Erawan Shrine if you are nearby. Many locals come here to make offerings. It’s busy during the day, but you won’t have to spend a lot of time here.
In the evening, head to Chinatown (Yaowarat Road) as it comes alive at night. Try noodles, roast duck, or Chinese buns from the street vendors. The area is quite easy to walk through and offers lots of small shops.
End your night with a visit to a rooftop bar like Vertigo or Octave. These spots give clear views of the city skyline. Drinks are more expensive, but many travellers say the view is worth it.
Two days in Bangkok may seem short, but with some good planning, you will get to see both its traditions and the fast-paced city life. Focus on a variety of things to do and mix in visits to temples, markets, and some quiet spots to make the most of your time. - Website at https://www.gardinaasoke.com/our-neighbourhood
