  • Explore the Grand Palace

  1. Explore the Grand Palace

No visit to Bangkok to stay in the Novotel Bangkok Bangna Hotel would be complete without a visit to the iconic Grand Palace, as well as the Temple of the Emerald Buddha. This majestic complex, which was built in 1782, has served as an official residence and a symbol of the nation's cultural heritage. When you step through the intricately adorned gates, you will find yourself immersed in a world of opulent architecture, glittering spires and vibrant colours. However, it is essential to understand that given its prominence as a religious and cultural site, you must be appropriately dressed in order to enter the temple complex. You could take the chance to marvel at the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, which is a revered shrine housing a precious statue of the Buddha that was carved from a single block of jade.

  1. Immerse yourself in Thai spirituality

Across the Chao Phraya River from the Grand Palace stands Wat Arun, often referred to as the "Temple of Dawn." This iconic temple is well-known for its distinctive central tower that is adorned with colourful porcelain tiles that glimmer in the sunlight. By climbing to the top of the tower you will be able to enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the cityscape and the river. Wat Arun is a living testament to Thai spirituality while exploring its ornate structures and serene courtyards can provide you with a sense of tranquillity amid the bustling city. You could also consider visiting during the evening, especially around dinner time, when the temple is illuminated by the sunset, creating a magical ambience that lingers long after the sun dips below the horizon.

iii. Indulge in culinary adventures

Finally, if you want to truly savour the flavours of Bangkok, make your way to the Chatuchak Weekend Market, a must-see for food enthusiasts and shopaholics alike. With thousands of stalls, this sprawling market offers an array of delicious street food options that tantalize your taste buds with every bite. From aromatic tried Pad Thai to succulent and sweet mango sticky rice, the market is a gastronomic paradise where you will be able to sample authentic Thai dishes and discover hidden culinary gems.

Therefore, to sum up, Bangkok contains some captivating experiences that cater to every traveller's curiosity. From exploring the regal beauty of the Grand Palace to immersing yourself in the spiritual serenity of Wat Arun, Bangkok's cultural treasures are bound to leave an indelible mark on your soul.
