Hours in Bangkok 

Bangkok is a delightfully chaotic study in the co-existence of extremes. Skyscrapers overlook crowded huts. Street stalls set up shop outside swanky restaurants. Hedonistic pleasures juxtapose Buddhist meditation. 

To experience this charming city in full, start the day on the right note – with almsgiving. Get to the Marble Temple just after sunrise and observe, or even participate in, the age-old practice of the faithful giving food to the Buddhist monks to gain spiritual merit. The temple was built at the end of the 19th century with marble from Italy and is a beautiful blend of Western and Thai architectural styles.

From there, take the three-wheeler tuk tuk to Tha Tien and dig into a hearty breakfast from the pushcarts near the pier. Choose from dough fritters dipped in condensed milk, piping hot rice congee or sticky rice with grilled pork. Work off the calories by walking around the Old City before heading to the nearby Grand Palace, which used to be the home of the Thai kings and the entire administrative seat of government for 150 years. The complex continues to remain the spiritual heart of the Thai kingdom.

Break for lunch at one of the many riverside restaurants. Our picks: Sala Rattanakosin or Arun Residence for spectacular views and good food.

After lunch, take a longtail boat through the maze of canals and you’ll understand why Bangkok used to be called the Venice of the East. The magical tranquility contrasts with the frenetic pace of the rest of the city. Fresh off the boat, stroll to Wat Pho, home to a 46-meter reclining Buddha. The temple is considered the birthplace of Thai massage, so here would be a good place to get those knots out.

As the sun sets, take a taxi to the trendy Sukhumvit Soi 11 area. Order a Peruvian cocktail at Above 11, a 32-story rooftop bar with sweeping views of the city. You’ll be spoilt for dinner options in this area, with restaurants offering cuisines such as fusion Thai, Kiwi, Spanish, French and Italian abound.

Shopaholics should head to Asiatique next, where decrepit warehouses have been converted into a hip night market. You can find souvenirs for every budget, from mass market trinkets to hand-crafted pieces by young Thai designers. Then, because the night is always young in Bangkok, swing by the city’s up-and-coming hotspot Suan Phlu for another pub/bar hop. We recommend cocktails at Junker and Bar and music at Parisian-style Smalls.

Finally, make your way to the Flower Market, which bursts into a kaleidoscope of colors, smells and noise during the pre-dawn hours as wholesalers and retailers trade. The 24-hour market is also known for its intricately strung flower garlands, which invariably make their way into the morning alms for the monks.
