By the end of October in Thailand finishes so
called “rain season”, so now it’s just the right
time to visit this country and to see all its
sightseeing.
Before going to one of its sea resorts, most of
which have recovered from the last year’s tsunami,
it could be very interesting to spend some time in
Thailand’s capital – Bangkok. Bangkok is 8-million
metropolis. You can live here for several years
but still find something new. However 24 hours is
quite enough to fall in love with the city and to
see the best it can offer.
For the last 200 years Bangkok has been the
residence of the Tai’s kings. Live in Bangkok
boils up round the clock. All the big shops and
small stores are open 24 hours a day. The night is
the best time in Bangkok. No heat, bright lights…
Even the mud, so usual for the oriental city seems
to hide under the cover of the dark.
Impetuous Bangkok’s nightlife attracts a lot of
people, mostly tourists from the West. All bars,
clubs and discos are always overcrowded. Noise,
smoke, different shows (go-go, burlesk etc) and
Thai’s massage become the symbols of unforgettable
Bangkok’s nights.
When the night is over, if you still have
forces, you can enjoy all the traditional
attractions tourists usually visit.
As Thailand's capital, Bangkok boasts the
outstanding monuments of country’s past. Bangkok's
best temples include Wat Trimitr with its five and
a half ton solid gold Buddha, Wat Po with its huge
reclining Buddha - the first traditional massage
school in Thailand, (massages are avalable.) and
Wat Banjamaborpitr - the White Marble Temple - one
of Bangkok's most beautiful temples with
impressive Thai architecture. Even if you're short
on time you should visit with the Grand Palace -
Bangkok's most famous landmark is a former
residence of the Kings of Thailand.
In November Bangkok hosts the Royal
Rattanakosin Loy Krathong Festival. Loy Krathong
is celebrated in different styles. This special
festival includes a revival of traditional
ceremonies, games, contests and competitions:
Krathong Competition, and Thai costume contest.
The festival lasts several days. You can choose
only one of them – and see the most beautiful
Thai’s traditions and the most impressive national
dresses.
Now, when you saw it all you can continue your
vacations on Phuket, Pattaya or any other resort.
Many tourists after visiting Bangkok decide to see
Laos or Cambodia that are not so far away.
