Descriptive Essay About Bangkok

719 Words3 Pages

Bangkok is a large and beautiful city that has a vibrant city life. However, like other teeming metropolises, it has its own frustrations. It is busy and there is just so much to see. It can also be a little expensive to take a vacation tour in the angelic city.

So I have put together a travel itinerary for travelers who wish to still enjoy the city even on a low budget.

It is just the best way to begin a tour in Bangkok.

AFTERNOON

By the end of a boat ride, it would be approaching afternoon. The next place to tour are the temples, since they are accessible by the tourist boat.

There are so many temples in Bangkok such as the temple of the reclining Buddha, the temple of the dawn, the emerald temple, Wat Saket, Wat Traimit and Wat Suthat.
Interestingly, these temples are located very close to each other, making it easy to get to all of them without transportation.

Wat Saket otherwise called the temple of the golden mount provides a wonderful view of the whole city from the rising golden mount found within the premises.

To see the Emerald temple, you must head to the Grand Palace after seeing all the other temples. The palace is a major tourist attraction in Bangkok that stays open till 3:30pm.

There are other attractions to see here apart of the Emerald temple, such as the throne hall and the awe-inspiring architecture. However, foreigners are charged a loft fee of 500 baht compared to the smaller fees charged to see the other temples.
