Bangkok is not only the capital, but also the largest city of the Kingdom of Thailand. He occupies a huge territory, and in order to familiarize himself with her a lot of time. To save time tourists who have in most cases a couple of weeks, and sometimes days, travel agencies offer review tours of Bangkok, routes of which are designed so that guests of the capital can visit the main attractions within one day. The main inconvenience of such sightseeing tours is that much time goes on moving on the bus, because the city is constantly developing and growing, and the number of traffic jams also increases.
If you do not want to shake on the bus and want to get acquainted with Bangkok unforgettable and romantic, I advise you to choose an evening cruise along the River Chao Praia. Cruise passes daily from seven evenings to nine evenings. Each evening from River City Pier Pier is a few cruise ships: Grand Pearl Cruise, Phraya Princess Cruise, White Orchid River Cruise and Wan Fah Dinner Cruise. The last ship is the most exotic and decorated in the traditional Thai style.
Cruise tickets can be purchased directly on the pier or in the River City complex, located next to the pier. The price of this river trip is on average 40 dollars per person. This cost includes a delicious dinner, including traditional Thai and, European dishes and a large selection of seafood dishes.
Drinks in the cost of cruise are not included and paid separately. A romantic atmosphere, accompanied by live music and wonderful views of the night Bangkok, reigns on the cruise ship. This excursion is ideal for in love with couples, as well as those who do not like excursions with a historical bias. Here, tourists will be able to admire the royal palace and the temple of the morning dawn in the most advantageous of their form, while not going into historical and architectural subtleties.
Another place in Bangkok visited by numerous tourist flows is the Bike Skye Hotel, which is the highest building in Thailand and one of the highest hotels in the world. It is located in one of the central districts of Bangkok and has 84 floors. A part of the floors (from 5 to 17) is a parking lot, from 22 to 74 floors are located directly to the hotel rooms. On the 77th floor there is a platform-observatory equipped with paid telescopes (though we could not force them to work), and on the 84th floor there is a rotating observation deck, which allows you to explore Bangkok from a height of about 300 meters. You can see pools and even helipads on the roofs of neighboring buildings. The inconvenience for those who want to capture these species delivers a grid and a rather dirty glass that surround the platform. This is done for security reasons. Therefore, the camera lens in the mesh cells. The playground works daily from 10.30 am to 10 pm. The entrance ticket costs 300 baht per person, in the evening, when it darkens, the price rises to 400 baht. For the hotel's guests, the entrance to the viewing platform is free. Those who come to Bangkok in order to enjoy the views of the metropolis from a huge height, for the purpose of saving, the number is specifically removed here. In this case, there are immediately there, where to spend the night, and there is no need to spend on transport to the hotel and the entrance ticket. You can get on the 77 floor on the usual elevator or on a glass lift. On the rotating platform, you can climb on the stairs or use the usual elevator. A visit to the hotel is included in most excursions in Bangkok, so you can come here from other cities of Thailand. By the way, in the hotel on the upper floors there are several good restaurants, and lunch or dinner is usually included in the cost of the excursion.
Another place in Bangkok, which is worth visiting, - Siam Niramite show, which many tourists associate with the transvestite show. In fact, this is a large-scale performance and rather long time (almost one and a half hours without intermission) performance of historical and mythological orifier, which consists of three actions. The show consists of theatrical scenes, dances and songs. All this is accompanied by chic scenery, therefore, despite the fact that the meaning of some ideas may not be fully understood, the overall impression will be positive. The show starts at eight o'clock in the evening. A ticket for it is one and a half thousand baht. If you wish to take more convenient places in the auditorium, you will have to pay extra. It is prohibited to remove the show, so all photos and video equipment will have to be passed into the storage chamber. On the territory of the theater there is also a restaurant and a lake, which you can ride a boat. Siam Niramite shows all over the world and deserves to visit him.
