Easy Going Bangkok: Your Own Way

Route: Bangkok

Almost all of our Thailand tours begin in Bangkok, a truly Asian city where everything and everyone rubs shoulders- temples, monks, rickshaws, wildlife, markets, and traffic.

To make the most of Bangkok it is essential to stay in a central location. Thailand Travel Plan offers a number of comfortable hotels chosen for a combination of their location and their facilities. The prices stated are per person based on two people sharing a room and include breakfast. Pre-booking your arrival transfer and hotel ensures that you'll be met by a friendly face at the airport and whisked away to your accommodation, getting your Bangkok tour off to a smooth start.

Feeling inspired? You can build your own Cambodia and Indochina holiday using our wider range of bite-sized Cambodia trips. Alternatively, if you'd rather leave the planning to us, you can choose from our selection of suggested Cambodia holidays.

Day 1: Arrival in Bangkok

You will probably arrive in Thailand feeling a little like a bedraggled cat. Your body will be stiff from air travel and you'll be feeling wiped out by jetlag. It will also take you a while to acclimatise to the heat and humidity in Bangkok. For these reasons, we suggest that you give yourselves a break with our Bangkok tour. This includes an airport transfer and two nights in a comfortable, central Bangkok hotel. Breakfast is included. This short Bangkok tour will ensure that you have a no-hassle arrival.

You'll be collected from the airport arrivals gate and taken directly to your Bangkok hotel. Photographs at the bottom of the page indicate the comfort level of our chosen hotels. If you would like to upgrade, please feel free to ask about alternatives. We will be more than happy to help.

You'll stay in a cosy Bangkok hotel with swimming pool in the centre of town, within easy walking distance of Khao San Road. The accommodation is comfortable and all of the rooms are fully-equipped with air conditioning. The most important sites can be easily reached by taxi or express river boat. Breakfast is of course included.

For approx £25 extra per person, you can stay in a wonderful boutique Bangkok hotel, only 5 minutes from Khao San Road, with the additional bonus of a rooftop swimming pool. Those looking for a touch of true class can opt for one of our even more luxurious hotels, which are available on request. Just let us know your preferences when you submit your Bangkok tour quote request form.

Day 2: Free time in Bangkok

Today is an entirely free day on your Bangkok tour, so you can explore the city at your own pace. Most visitors head for the Grand Palace, the Royal Palace of King Bhumipol, and Wat Phra Kaew, Thailand's most important temple. Wat Po, with its enormous reclining Buddha, is also within walking distance from your hotel, as is the famous School of Massage. Why not drop in for a herbal massage if you're still feeling stiff from the flight? From here it is easy to take a water taxi to Wat Arun, an architecturally impressive temple on the Chao Phraya River. In short, there is plenty to keep you occupied. Bangkok is many things, but it certainly isn't boring.

Your Bangkok Starter Pack ends this morning after a buffet breakfast in your hotel. It is possible to extend this module, if you wish to spend a few more days in Bangkok. We can also book your accommodation in the city for your final few days before you fly home. Feel free to include all of your requirements on our quote request form, or simply ask one of our travel specialists.
