    Just an average for this price. No juice. You have to pay for drinks. They will take photo of you and they will ask 200tbh if you want to take the picture with you. Not worth.

    The most commendable part of the Grand Palace is the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, which is definitely worth a visit. Purchasing tickets through Ctrip is very convenient; simply show the QR code at the entrance to scan and enter.

    I liked but there were sooo many people and everything is so expensive inside you need to pay to see some animals (jiraffes, liones etc.) hut I recommend to pay for Jiraffes because you can feed them and pet them My fevourite one and the shows are amazing.

    Highly recommended. Both museums are accessible by public transport: Erawan - BTS E17 Chang Erawan (5-7 min. walk), Ancient Siam - BTS E23 Kheha, then songthaew 36 (2.5 km, 20 THB). A wonderful combination of Thai traditions, history, culture, and modernity.

    Overall, Sea Life Bangkok Ocean World offers a high-quality aquarium experience that combines fun, education, and conservation. Despite minor drawbacks such as crowds and ticket cost, the visit is well worth it. I would highly recommend Sea Life Bangkok Ocean World to families, tourists, and anyone interested in discovering the wonders of marine life.

    Actually, I knew that all of them were lip-syncing before I came, but just to see the dance and listen to the songs, the ticket price was worth it. And unlike what I expected, their songs and dances were really rich in variety, with grand momentum, Chinese style, sexy leather pants style, melodramatic plot, Thai and Korean traditional style, etc.

    A phenomenal show that offers great insight into the history of Muay Thai. It’s highly entertaining overall; the only downside is the length—at over four hours, it can start to feel a bit long if some of the fights aren’t as engaging as the earlier ones.

    Cruise Through Culture: A Must-Visit at Damnoen Saduak Floating Market!If you're in Thailand, don’t miss the magical experience of Damnoen Saduak Floating Market! This vibrant market, set on winding canals, is like stepping into a living postcard. I booked my visit through Trip.com, and everything — from hotel pickup to boat ride — was seamless and hassle-free.Gliding through the waterways, I was surrounded by friendly vendors in wooden boats, selling exotic fruits, delicious Thai snacks, handmade crafts, and more. The aroma of sizzling food and the sight of colorful produce were unforgettable. I tried the mango sticky rice and fresh coconut ice cream — both were incredible!The early morning vibe, reflections on the water, and rich cultural feel make this a photographer’s dream. Damnoen Saduak is more than a market — it’s a slice of Thai heritage that you can see, taste, and feel.#TripWithTripdotcom #ThailandVibes #FloatingMarketAdventure

    The Mahanakhon Skywalk is absolutely stunning! It’s not just about the famous glass floor — the real highlight is the breathtaking 360-degree view of Bangkok. From the top, you can see the entire city in all its beauty, especially during sunset and nighttime. The experience feels truly extravagant and unforgettable. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Bangkok!
