Mini Guide for Bangkok
Most people are only in Bangkok for a short visit, either on an airline stopover or for a couple of days at the beginning or end of their holiday to another part of Thailand such as
Phuket and
Koh Samui. There is so much to see and do in Bangkok you really need far longer to cram it all in.
Hire a car to explore the outer reaches of the city or go by boat along the waterways to see how the people there live on land or on the water.
