Things To Do In Bangkok Capital Of Thailand
id="mod_48507997">Why Bangkok?
There is so much to explore around the world, we can often have a battle between a desire to explore the hidden treasures of the world and money.
Let me share one beautiful location that I visited with my husband last year that will not only energize your soul but also budget-friendly. I am talking about Bangkok. Bangkok is the capital of Thailand and a very popular tourist destination well known for its vibrant culture and colorful life.
Currency
The currency used in Thailand is "Thai Bhat". Most of the shops here accept cash so make sure to keep enough cash in your wallet before visiting the local shops.

Finest Culinary Delights
Bangkok is the best place to indulge in the finest culinary delights. We found a mix of several Thai dishes and other cuisines such as Chinese and Indian dishes in the streets of Bangkok.
Here you can relish everything from native to intercontinental dishes. When you are in Thailand, you must taste this special food called Pad Thai. Pad Thai is so synonymous with Thailand that it includes part of the country's name. Apart from this, we found some mouth smacking seafood available at a very affordable price and in a wide variety all over the place.
So if you are foody or not this place will definitely push you to do some experiment with your taste buds.
Street food, seafood
Night Parties
We discovered that not only the daylights but also the nights have the ability to rejuvenate your soul. While roaming around the streets we observed that Bangkok is a city that never sleeps and always remains lively.
The city throbs with its numerous fascinating nightspots from pubs, discos, dance clubs, jazz bars, and karaoke lounges. After the sun had gone down, the city rocks to the rhythms of the nightspots. The city's heartbeat never stops when it comes to nightlife. If you are a party person then this place is heaven for you.

Shoppers Paradise
Siam, often name-dropped by locals and guidebooks as the commercial heart of the city. Many of Thailand's largest and best-known malls have laid foundations here.
These include Central World and Siam Paragon, which together offer an eclectic shopping selection. Add to that roster the hip and trendy Siam Center and Siam Discovery malls, as well as the market-style, boutique-lined Siam Square, and this area is essentially the city's one-stop-shop.
Bargaining and haggling for a better deal are important if you are going for street shopping.

Safari World
If you are thinking that Bangkok is the city where only adults can enjoy, then the Safari world will prove you wrong. The Safari World houses an amazing set of animals from across continents.
From the entrance to the safari tour, every moment here is magical. Literally, I felt like Mowgli in the jungle book inside it. Here animals are free and you can interact with them. Feeding the giraffes and the colorful birds were worth every penny. You can have a close encounter with the zebras, lions, and tigers during the Safari tour thái lan.
There are many shows where the animals will stupefy you with their performances.

From what I've read, Bangkok sounds like a place that I'd enjoy visiting although I'd probably have to bring my own lunch.
I couldn't eat anything that's looking at me. Great article, well written and thanks for all the wonderful information about this place. Very informative, I enjoyed reading it.
