Travel To Thailand
For your first trip to Thailand, the best way to see a lot of the country is through a guided tour. A typical tour starts with a few days in Bangkok. After a good night’s rest, you’re ready for the sites and sounds. A visit to the Grand Palace is a must. The Grand Palace is a complex of palaces, located near the Chao Phraya River, in town. Many kings added their own palace to the complex, a fact reflected in the different types of architecture and influences. The Palace of the Emerald Buddha is the most spectacular, covered on the outside with gilt and glitter, and containing a most sacred object, a solid jade Buddha image.

Bangkok’s Chinatown, close to the Grand Palace complex, is worth a walk. It’s a large section, bustling with people shopping in the many food shops and the many gold shops. Be prepared to bargain.
Bangkok is spread out, with a number of interesting neighbourhoods. Sukhumvit Road has its own pace and style, a long street of shops, restaurants, hotels and bustle. Silom Road has a different style. Each is interesting and a great place for restaurants and shopping.
