Who traveled to Thailand, I will understand me, in my opinion, this is a paradise for a budget tourist. It is not easy here to spend your holidays perfectly, and it is not necessary to note that it is not expensive, see a lot of gorgeous sights, but also stroll through the markets where you can find almost everything much cheaper than homeland.
I went to Bangkok, and he just shocked me in the good sense of the word. Of course, it should be noted that the city is rather noisy and densely depleted, moreover, this is a favorite place of vacationers from many countries not only the CIS, but also in Europe. But it is also clear the city is just shot by the bright colors of all kinds of temples, the statues of the Buddha and of course a variety of goods in the markets.
As for the markets, I was surprised by the floating market, I have not seen this yet. Rather, they are somewhat, but they are not in the city itself, but in a couple of hours drive from Bangkok. I was advised to take an excursion to the most popular floating market Damnown Saduak, the market works at certain hours, so we left early in the morning and they were already returned to dinner. From the diversity of fruits and souvenirs, the eyes run out, the main chip is that the sellers and buyers swim in boats buy and sell goods, and also traded, by the way, I can not not notice that here the goods are more expensive than in urban souvenir shops or vegetable tents. But here you can and even need to be bargained, you can bring down the price almost half of the cost.
Another place outside Bangkok, which is necessary to visit.
Ayuttaya is a small village where the ruins of the once of the capital of ancient Siam are located, because they touch the sources of history and mysterious fall of the once-rich city, at least interesting.
It is surprisingly quiet, there are practically no entertainment and there is no such influx of tourists as in other places of Thailand. But you can visit several temples, one of which drew me more than the rest. He is famous for the stone head of the Buddha, which can be seen from the roots of a large tree, is called the Wat Mahathat temple. What is the most interesting, for some reason in the temple, almost all statues have no head.
In addition, the return journey, our group has done on a small ship, and a cruise on a quiet river and dinner, an additional pleasant impression of the tour.
What is worth viewing in Bangkok itself, so this is two things Temple Wat Arun - the dawn temple and the Royal Palace.
The temple consists of a whole complex of buildings, in the territory of the temple, many interesting statues, can be launched on cozy benches, breathing in the aroma of exotic colors, you can climb the steep staircase to the very top and admire the view of the river, in general, a beautiful place that deserves visitors.
The royal palace is also a rich complex of various buildings, which includes temples, throne halls, museums, palaces and exhibitions. Here of course are crowded here, but quite interesting.
As for the beaches, there are several beaches in the vicinity of Bangkok himself, but they are absolutely not equipped, so he enjoyed colorful excursions, I spent the rest of the holidays in the province of Chonburi at Bang Sin.
