With a population of over 8 million residents, tourists will never run out of things to do in Bangkok. Every tourist should visit the Wat Pho. The Wat Pho is known as the Temple of the Reclining Buddha and is one of many must see historical sites. The temple currently sits on 20 acres of land and was built nearly 200 hundred years before Bangkok became the capital of Thailand. Because the Buddha statue itself is 15 meters high and 46 meters long, visitors often wonder how the statue was moved into the temple in the first place. Because Bangkok is famous for its numerous historical attractions and temples, Asian history buffs would do well to obtain a map of the city. Maps will often highlight some of the most important Bangkok activities, temples, and historical sites any person must visit on their trip. Many Bangkok excursions offer tours of the city that include major temple sites. There are a number of Bangkok tours at your disposal One of the most notable being the Apsara Dinner Cruise. The Apsara Dinner Cruise is a perfect way for friends and family to enjoy beautiful sunset views of the city from the Chao Phraya River while chowing down on the some of the most delicious food available in the metropolis. Each night, temples along the river are glowing with thousands of lights, making for an especially romantic experience. Bangkok is known for its vibrant nightlife. After a romantic dinner cruise, take your significant other to Royal City Avenue. Also known as RCA, Royal City Avenue is the absolute center of the nightlife scene in Bangkok and one of the top clubbing districts in the country. Night owls can head down there to enjoy some of the best live bands and disc jockeys in the country. Because RCA is an officially designated entertainment district, party-goers can be sure they will find something to do there every night of the week. Because there are a wide variety of attractions in Bangkok, a trip around southeast Asia would not be complete without a stop in this wonderful city. The amount of places you can visit and local spots that offer experiences of a lifetime will make you want to come back to Bangkok again and again. --- - ![find price illustration](https://a.travel-assets.com/travel-assets-manager/pictogram-bex/light__find_price.svg) ### Explore activities Explore thousands of experiences from activities and attractions to day tours and transfer. - ![calendar shield illustration](https://a.travel-assets.com/travel-assets-manager/pictogram-bex/light__calendar_shield.svg) ### Book with ease Skip the line- book tickets online in minutes to top attractions with free cancellation on many activities. - ![trophy illustration](https://a.travel-assets.com/travel-assets-manager/pictogram-bex/light__trophy.svg) ### Treat yourself Members save % or more when you book activities. --- ## Recommended things to do in Bangkok | Number of things to do | 672 | | ------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Cheapest thing to do on Expedia | [eSIM: Airalo Thailand Package](/things-to-do/esim-airalo-thailand-package.a46752178.activity-details): CA $4 | | Top 5 things to do | [Baiyoke Sky Hotel Dining with Observation Deck](/things-to-do/baiyoke-sky-hotel-dining-with-observation-deck.a552204.activity-details)[Bangkok Canal Tour: 2-Hour Longtail Boat Ride](/things-to-do/longtail-boat-2-hrs-bangkok-canal-tour.a833665.activity-details)[White Orchid Dinner Cruise – A Night of Food and Live Entertainment](/things-to-do/white-orchid-dinner-cruise-a-night-of-food-and-live-entertainment.a546282.activity-details)[Wonderful Pearl: Dinner Cruise Featuring Live Music & Spectacular Show](/things-to-do/wonderful-pearl-dinner-cruise-featuring-live-music-spectacular-show.a547978.activity-details)[From Bangkok: Ayutthaya Temples Guided Tour with Lunch](/things-to-do/from-bangkok-ayutthaya-temples-guided-tour-with-lunch.a5292387.activity-details) | | Half-day tours | [Baiyoke Sky Hotel Dining with Observation Deck](/things-to-do/baiyoke-sky-hotel-dining-with-observation-deck.a552204.activity-details)[Bangkok Canal Tour: 2-Hour Longtail Boat Ride](/things-to-do/longtail-boat-2-hrs-bangkok-canal-tour.a833665.activity-details)[White Orchid Dinner Cruise – A Night of Food and Live Entertainment](/things-to-do/white-orchid-dinner-cruise-a-night-of-food-and-live-entertainment.a546282.activity-details)[Wonderful Pearl: Dinner Cruise Featuring Live Music & Spectacular Show](/things-to-do/wonderful-pearl-dinner-cruise-featuring-live-music-spectacular-show.a547978.activity-details)[Muay Thai Boxing Show with Ringside Seats at Rajadamnern Stadium](/things-to-do/muay-thai-boxing-show-with-ringside-seats-at-rajadamnern-stadium.a3248174.activity-details) | | With kids | [Baiyoke Sky Hotel Dining with Observation Deck](/things-to-do/baiyoke-sky-hotel-dining-with-observation-deck.a552204.activity-details)[Bangkok Canal Tour: 2-Hour Longtail Boat Ride](/things-to-do/longtail-boat-2-hrs-bangkok-canal-tour.a833665.activity-details)[White Orchid Dinner Cruise – A Night of Food and Live Entertainment](/things-to-do/white-orchid-dinner-cruise-a-night-of-food-and-live-entertainment.a546282.activity-details)[Wonderful Pearl: Dinner Cruise Featuring Live Music & Spectacular Show](/things-to-do/wonderful-pearl-dinner-cruise-featuring-live-music-spectacular-show.a547978.activity-details)[From Bangkok: Ayutthaya Temples Guided Tour with Lunch](/things-to-do/from-bangkok-ayutthaya-temples-guided-tour-with-lunch.a5292387.activity-details) | ## What to do in Bangkok --- ### Discover the most popular places to visit in Bangkok ![Khao San Road featuring nightlife, street scenes and a city](https://a.travel-assets.com/findyours-php/viewfinder/images/res70/24000/24822-Khao-San-Road.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) #### Khaosan Road 4/5(305 reviews) This “anything goes” street is a hot spot for budget travelers who want to buy cheap clothes and souvenirs, people-watch or party all night.
