Bangkok City Breaks

Bangkok City Breaks - Sample exotic eastern dishes
Bangkok is an amalgam of teeming, hectic streets, nonstop entertainment and exquisite royal palaces and temples. In fact a city break in Bangkok will attack the senses at every turn - gleaming shopping malls and 5 star hotels, chaotic traffic jams and colourful back street markets. Whatever your sightseeing itinerary, the Thai people will come across with a heartfelt welcome and genuine affection for visitors and the celebrated 'land of smiles' is as resonant in Bangkok as anywhere else in the country. A short break visit to Bangkok offers untold delights, not least its renowned cuisine. Eating out in the city is an occasion in itself whether you wish to partake in haute cuisine Thai style, a colourful and cheap food centre or a sprinkling of delicious street snacks. The atmosphere is always vibrant and the prices are among the cheapest in South East Asia. 

City Breaks in Bangkok - Spectacular oriental architecture to explore
Scratch just below the surface and Bangkok life can be witnessed in all its colour and spontaneity. A stroll along the canal side walkways of Ratanakosim will discover spectacular Buddhist shrines and a vibrant area of rickety stalls selling the exotic and obscure. There is everything from herbal remedies, religious amulets, genuine antiques and handicrafts from hill tribes. Sit awhile in a street cafe and breathe in this hectic atmosphere that will provide lasting memories and great photo opportunities. At the other end of the scale is a visit to the magnificent Grand Palace, a must for any Bangkok short break. A sumptuous royal residence, it contains the most exquisite Asian architecture and a typically ornate and mysterious Buddhist temple.

Bangkok City Breaks - Fabulous cultural and sporting attractions
The entire cultural and historic significance of Thailand can be summed up with a visit to the National Museum - the largest in South East Asia. Covering over 4000 years of history, it houses a fine collection of art, ceramics and religious artefacts. For family short breaks in Bangkok energetic and thrilling fun is guaranteed with several theme parks, a zoo and even a visit to a crocodile farm. A night of Muay Thai or Thai kick boxing is a memorable experience to watch and certainly not for the faint hearted.  Or simply relax with a game of golf on one of the many championship courses in the city.
