	Sightseeing Tour - Explore the City

Also known as Krung Thep which means the City Of Angels, the city is considered one of the biggest cities in the world. For a city of this size, Bangkok is surprisingly full of quiet escapes.

The must-see attractions include Wat Phra Kaew, Grand Palace, Wat Pho and Wat Traimit. Another attraction well worth a visit is the Bang Pa In, the former summer residence of the royal family in the 17th century, located 37 miles north of Bangkok. It's a collection of buildings that reflect both Oriental and European influences.

National Museum of the Royal Barges

Open: Daily-Sun 9am-5pm |

Fee: 50 Baht

Resplendent in gold, these historic craft rarely grace public events today. Used occasionally by the King and the Royal family when they travelled by river. The most graceful formation of the Royal barge procession can be seen at an annual procession to offer gifts to the monks at Wat Arun. These barges can be viewed daily by the public in their Royal barge sheds. Due to the space limitation, only eight most important barges are kept here.
