Bangkok in 4 days

A day-by-day plan for temples, street food and river life.

I have lost count the times I have been to Bangkok, but one thing I know: it is one of my favourite cities.

Everything here is what I actually tell my friends before they fly out.

Most Bangkok itineraries assume you want to tick off every temple before lunch on day two. This one doesn't, but it is still fast-paced, just like this city.

Four days is enough to get a feel for Bangkok if you stop trying to cross it twice a day. The plan groups things by neighbourhood so you're not stuck in traffic watching the meter.
