Tours and Day Trip Activities in Thailand
When it comes to uncovering Thailand’s world-renowned attractions and destinations, you’ve got two primary options: strike out on your own or book a tour. While independent travel offers its rewards, many visitors appreciate the convenience of a well-organized package. These packages can range from guided temple tours lasting a few hours to full-day excursions to islands, historical cities, or floating markets. Typically, these packages offer great value, covering return travel, expert guides, and often food and drinks.
If you find yourself in Bangkok, we highly recommend exploring iconic temples like Wat Pho or the Grand Palace, embarking on an enchanting evening river cruise, mastering Thai cooking skills at a culinary course, or attending a live cultural performance.
Just a few hours from Bangkok, there are fantastic day-trip destinations that can be booked as part of a tour. The famous Bridge over the River Kwai is a must-see, and the ancient capital of Ayutthaya, with its sprawling temples, comes highly recommended as well.
Shopping Activities in Thailand
Shopping in Thailand is not just an activity; it’s practically a sport! The capital, Bangkok, boasts numerous gleaming malls, mainly clustered around Siam Square. You can explore these malls any day of the week. However, for a more memorable shopping adventure, be sure to visit a pop-up market during your vacation. One standout choice is the massive Artbox, a monthly market that changes locations throughout the city center. What remains constant is the trendy fashion for sale, along with an array of food vendors, bars, and live music creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Similarly, The Knack Market, held on the last weekend of each month near Khlong San, is a top pick for hipster shoppers. Think vintage clothing, retro home goods, art, handicrafts, and locally produced food and drinks.
Cultural Activities in Thailand
While Thailand might not be as famous for its art galleries, museums, and theaters as cities like Paris, London, or New York, there’s still a vibrant cultural scene, especially in Bangkok.
A top cultural destination in the capital is the outstanding yet often overlooked Bangkok Art & Culture Centre, located opposite MBK at National Stadium MRT Station. This expansive venue hosts regular exhibitions featuring prominent local and international artists, as well as special film screenings, literature festivals, and musical performances. Additionally, keep an eye out for exhibitions at some of Bangkok’s creative universities, including the Bangkok University Gallery and Chulalongkorn Art Centre.
Shows and Performances in Thailand
When the sun sets, Thailand comes alive with an array of nighttime activities beyond just hitting the bars and clubs. Siam Niramit, situated next to the Thailand Cultural Center, offers a captivating 70-minute showcase of Thai culture, featuring traditional dances, singing, and historical battle scenes. For a more dazzling spectacle, don’t miss the renowned Playhouse Ladyboy Cabaret (family-friendly, unlike some similar shows in the city) …
Similar versions of this musical and dance extravaganza can be found in Pattaya, such as Alcazar, while Phuket boasts the most famous of all: Simon Cabaret.
