Why Spend 5 Days in Bangkok?
For being in a supposed developing third world country, Bangkok is one hell of a metropolis
For a city so compacted with things to do to and explore, you might think that 5 days in Bangkok is too long of a holiday, well I think it’s perfect. You get enough time to visit all the must-see spots without feeling rushed, from iconic temples like the Grand Palace, Wat Pho, and Wat Arun, to bustling Thai street food markets and vibrant neighborhoods like Yaowarat. With a well-planned 5 Day Bangkok Itinerary, you’ll have time to explore the city’s rich history, enjoy the street food scene, and discover hidden local spots without feeling rushed.
Another major reason to stay 5 days in Bangkok is that the city lends itself to some pretty fun day trips. Bangkok is the ideal base for exploring nearby floating markets like Damnoen Saduak or Amphawa, and even the famous Maeklong Railway Market, which I will bring you to in this Bangkok itinerary. Plus the previous capital of Thailand, The Ayutthaya Historical Park, is only a hour away from Bangkok, don’t worry, we are going there too.
And let’s not forget the amazingly delectable Thai Street Food! Bangkok is one of the best cities in the world for street food, and 5 days in Bangkok gives us enough meals to actually slow down and enjoy it! Refreshing Som Tum Papaya Salad, smokey Pad Thai, and who could forget the indulgent Mango Sticky Rice! My mouth is salivating as I type this sentence! If you want to dedicate a full day of my 5 Day Bangkok Itinerary just for eating Thai Food, I wouldn’t blame you, but I do recommend joining one of my recommended Guided Bangkok Street Food Tours, it's a fun way to find hidden gems and get insider tips from a local Thai foodie expert.
Best Time to Visit Bangkok for 5 Days?
The winter months is the perfect time to explore some famous Bangkok attractions
Thailand is a country that has 4 seasons: Hot, Dry Hot, Wet Hot, and Very Hot… As a local who has lived in Bangkok since I was born I can confidently say that the weather does not deter tourists. Bangkok is a city that can be explored all year round, so If you’re planning a 5 Day Bangkok Itinerary, I recommend visiting when you feel the most comfortable. I’ll go over what you can expect from each season in more detail below.
Visiting Bangkok in Spring/Summer
Summer and Spring Bangkok is bright and sunny, maybe too sunny
Jokes about the hot seasons aside, Spring (February - April) is considered Bangkok’s hottest period, with temperatures often reaching 38°C (100°F) or more. If you’re used to being in cold weather or you’re someone like me who sweats buckets as soon as you step outside, then be prepared for pain.
It is doable though if you plan your sightseeing through Bangkok’s Famous Temples in the mornings or evenings and take plenty of breaks. April is also when the Bangkok celebrates Songkran, the Thai New Year that’s basically a country-wide water fight, it’s chaotic and one of the most uniquely fun festivals you can experience.
Bangkok’s Summer (May - August) is more enjoyable in terms of temperature at around 30°C (86°F) but slightly more miserable because summer in Bangkok is the rainy season, but don’t let that put you off. Rain usually comes in short, heavy bursts, often in the late afternoon or evening, and despite all the rain, you won’t sweat as much due to the humidity because there is a pleasant windy breeze that keeps you cool. Actually, I think it’s great weather (minus the gloomy clouds) to go outside and explore due to the cool breeze. In summer you can enjoy fewer tourists and cheaper hotel rates if you book through sites like Agoda or Booking.com. Just pack light, breathable clothes, and bring an umbrella.
Visiting Bangkok in Fall/Winter
Traveling to Bangkok is generally pleasant all year round
Fall (September - October) is generally considered the best time to visit Bangkok, especially if you’re planning a 5 Day Bangkok Itinerary and want to avoid extreme heat. September and October is still technically within the rainy season with rogue rainfalls here and there, so expect occasional small downpours and high humidity, but the temperatures are lower at around 28°C (82°F).
Winter (November - February) is the definitive “Best Time to Visit Bangkok” because that’s when the weather cools down and there is no more rain, it’s the most comfortable time to explore Bangkok. You’ll get dry, sunny days with average temperatures being around 25°C (77°F) but I even experienced some wild temperature fluctuations going as low as ~20°C with very strong cool winds, like so cold I had to wear a hoodie! Imagine that, wearing a hoodie in the tropical country in the equator!
Anyways, Winter in Bangkok is perfect for visiting temples, street markets, and rooftop bars without literally melting. It’s also festival season, with Loy Krathong in November, where thousands of floating lanterns light up the waterways, and New Year’s Eve celebrations, especially around the Chao Phraya River and central Bangkok. This is peak tourist season though, so book your hotels and popular activities in advance!
Where to Stay and the Best Hotels in Bangkok?
Helpful Map of Bangkok’s major districts provided by Global Gallivanting
Bangkok is home to some amazing hotels, from luxury 5 star accommodations to humble and budget friendly hostels. For first time travelers to Bangkok, I’d always recommend staying in one of two districts:
Old Town - Where all the historic Bangkok attractions are located like the temples. Also a nice cozy district for cafes, riverside attractions and cruises, and amazing street food at Chinatown. If you mainly want to explore the culture and history for you Bangkok Itinerary then here is where I recommend you find your accommodation.
Siam/Pathumwan - Modern Bangkok, modern attractions like aquariums, museums, and plenty of shopping malls to break the bank. Easy access to BTS and MRT trains for convenient travel (very important). If plan on doing lots of shopping and visiting indoor attractions for your 5 days in Bangkok, then this area is I recommend you stay at.
My Bangkok Hotel Recommendations
Cozy and stylish boutique hotels are popping up everywhere in Bangkok
If you want to relax to the fullest during your 5 days in Bangkok with things like spa facilities, rooftop pools and bars, etc…, then check out my recommendations for the Best Boutique Hotels in Bangkok, I also have more information regarding the different districts and neighbourhoods of Bangkok in that blog post if you would like to make a more informed decision about your stay..
If you are looking to make some new friends at a party hostel or want to stay at a Bangkok hotel that won’t break the bank, I have a list of the Top 10 Hostels in Bangkok that I personally recommend. Hostels can be a great place to meet new people and to experience the local culture to the fullest, in some cases I would even recommend you try booking a hostel over a regular hotel when visiting Bangkok.
How to Get Around Bangkok?
Incredible map of Bangkok’s transportation networks made by @bkktransit
For a city so chaotic and expansive as Bangkok, getting around Bangkok is super easy and convenient. You got multiple options from the obvious Taxis and ride hailing apps, to the quick and easy BTS skytrain, to the humble yet reliable “Win Motosai” (motorbike taxi). I’ll go over the main modes of transport below.
Also if you would like to download a higher resolution version of the Bangkok Metropolitan Area Rail Transit Map above to use on your Bangkok itinerary then click here, it’s totally free. Also support the creator @bkktransit on Ko-Fi, their map making work is incredible!
Bangkok Mass Transit System & Metropolitan Rapid Transit (BTS & MRT)
The Bangkok sky train in all it’s red, white, and blue glory
The absolute easiest and most convenient way to get around Bangkok is via the BTS Skytrain system and the MRT trains.
I’ll start off with the BTS. If you’ve decided to stay in the Sukhumvit or Siam area for your 5 day Bangkok itinerary, then the 2 main BTS lines (Sukhumvit and Silom) will be your best friend in terms of getting around Bangok. These lines provide easy access to many of the city’s modern shopping malls, street food night markets, and museums. All the BTS trains are air conditioned, clean, modern, and comfortable, though it can get pretty packed during peak hours.
BTS ticket prices range from 16 - 59 THB, depending on distance, but for this Bangkok itinerary, I recommend getting yourself a Rabbit Card, which is a prepaid card that you can use to pay for the BTS as well as for purchasing stuff at convenience stores like 7-11 or Turtle. If you intend to only use the BTS for a day such as in Day 2 of this 5 Day Bangkok Itinerary for example, then One Day Passes are also available for unlimited trips for that day.
It’s 9:00 AM, the MRT is packed and people gotta go to work!
As for the MRT, these trains is basically the subway system of Bangkok and are useful for reaching areas that the BTS doesn’t cover, mainly the Old Town areas. So if you’re staying in at one of my recommended boutique hotels in Old Town Bangkok, it’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with the MRT.
The MRT Blue Line is what you should be focusing on, also some MRT stations are connected to various BTS stations such as the BTS Silom Station and BTS Asoke Station, so getting around is a breeze. Ticket prices for the MRT range from 17 - 43 THB, depending on your distance. Unfortunately your Rabbit Card cannot be used with the MRT system (different companies), though you can use your Visa credit cards for payments to scan through the gates.
Taxi, Tuk-tuks, and Ride Hailing Apps (Grab/Bolt)
Taxis in Bangkok come in all colors, from yellow and green, to blue, to even pink
Starting off with the Taxis, unfortunately Bangkok Taxis are getting a bad rep in recent years, drivers are known to scam tourists (not using the meter, for example), refusing to go to certain locations just cause they’re lazy or do not want to accept tourists, and some drivers are just straight up miserable towards foreigners (and even locals tbh), So in good conscious, I cannot recommend you relying on Taxis for transport… But if you must, then know that Taxis should always use a meter (starts at 35 THB).
Tuk-tuks on the other hand, I’d say they’re very touristy, meant for fun experiences or joy rides, but not a main mode of transport. They don’t use meters but bargaining for fares is common, though expect them to be a bit more expensive than Taxis. In recent years, ride hailing apps for Tuk-tuks are starting to appear in Bangkok such as MuvMi, so check that out if you like.
If you are going to be relying heavily on Taxis for getting around Bangkok, then I recommend using ride hailing apps. Grab and Bolt are the main players in Bangkok, they’re comfortable, more reliable than Taxis, and prices are good (more-so on Bolt than Grab). Other services exists like CABB (has since integrated with the Grab app) which are VIP Taxis whose cars are styled like the fancy British hackney carriages.
Motorbike Taxi (Win/Win Motosai)
Just a couple of dudes ready to save the day
Ahh, the humble, and reliable Win Motosai, these guys are the unsung heroes of office workers throughout Bangkok. Characterized by their titular bright orange vests, these hard working men and women are the backbone of Bangkok society.
Ok, enough glazing, Motorbike Taxis are great for short distance trips, between BTS stations or going deep into sois (alleys) for example. You’ll usually find a gang of these guys hanging out at key areas like under train stations or in front of shopping malls. Fares are cheap, depending on the distance, usually around 15 - 50 THB.
Ride hailing versions of motorbike taxis also exist, such as in the Grab App for example, but they aren’t in the boys in orange, it’s Grab’s own uniform, which doesn’t feel the same. Anyways, Win Motosai, a lifesaver for getting to hard to reach areas in Bangkok.
Day 1: Touring Bangkok's Famous Temples!
A picture of Wat Arun also known as The Temple of Dawn at dawn
Day 1 of this 5 Day Bangkok Itinerary is all about touring the most famous temples in Bangkok, while ending the day eating and exploring through Yaowarat Road, Bangkok’s Chinatown, and the largest Chinatown in South East Asia.
Before heading into any Thai temple there are a few rules and etiquettes that you’ll need to follow:
Foreigners pricing: Yes I’m sorry but foreigners (tourist or not) will most likely have to pay a higher entrance fee compared to locals, which are often free.
Take off your shoes: Before entering certain temple areas. Socks are fine.
Taking Buddha images out of the country is illegal: Statues, bracelets, necklaces, printed pictures or posters, anything with a Buddha image.
Dress modestly: For both men and women, don’t dress in revealing clothing and ensure your shoulders and knees are covered.
Alright let’s get to exploring the temples of Bangkok!
Morning: Bangkok Temple Trifecta: Grand Palace, Wat Pho, Wat Phra Kaew
The Grand Palace covers a large area and includes many museums and temples within its walls
Starting off day 1’s temple tours are 3 of Bangkok’s most famous temples which are all situated in the same area making for travel. Starting off with the Grand Palace, I know a palace isn’t exactly a temple but in this case, it’s in the same ballpark. Constructed in 1782, this site used to be the permanent home of the Thai King, nowadays it has become a major tourist attraction and one of the top things to do in Bangkok.
The Grand Palace opens daily from 8:30 AM - 3:30 PM, and tickets cost around 500 THB per person, which includes access to Wat Phra Kaew, which I’ll talk more about later. Warning though, there is a common scam with Tuk-tuk and Taxi drivers in the area claiming that the Grand Palace is closed, it’s not, they’re only saying that so they can take you to a shop to get a commission. Since the Grand Palace closes pretty early, I highly recommend coming here early or purchasing a Skip-the-Line Ticket it saves a lot of time.
The Grand Palace covers an area of over 200,000 square meters and inside, the main highlight is Wat Phra Kaew (Temple of the Emerald Buddha), home to Thailand’s most sacred Buddha statue carved from a single piece of pure jade. The temple grounds are covered in golden chedis, beautifully painted murals, and detailed guardian statues — everywhere you look is photo-worthy. Other key points of interest include the Royal Reception Halls, where ceremonial events take place, and the ornate Outer Court, which is open to visitors.
Photos and pictures don’t do the scale justice, you really have to be there to appreciate it
After you’re done exploring the Grand Palace, the next stop on this Bangkok itinerary is Wat Phra Chetuphon Wimon Mangkhalaram Rajwaramahawihan or just Wat Pho, a famous temple in Bangkok housing a giant 46 meter long and 15 meter tall bronze statue of a reclining Buddha completely covered in gold leaf. You HAVE to see this statue with your own eyes, the scale is immense and it’s also the largest statue of the Buddha in Thailand.
The temple is open daily from 8:00 AM - 6:30 PM, and the entrance fee is around 200 THB, which includes a free bottle of water.
Fun Fact: Wat Pho is also considered the birthplace of traditional Thai massage, and there’s an on site massage school where you can book a massage or register for a learning course. It’s a great way to learn about an very famous aspect of Thai culture. You can get a massage here if you want, but on Day 3 of my 5 Day Bangkok Itinerary, I’ll be bringing you to a very special massage place already.
Afternoon: Wat Arun + Legendary Pad Thai Lunch (Optional: Wat Saket)
The central Prang tower of Wat Arun was constructed later in 1851
I hope you aren’t bored of temples yet because next up on our temple tour is Wat Arun, the Temple of Dawn, constructed in 1656 it’s one of the most iconic temples in Bangkok. For this, you’ll need to hop on a boat across the Chao Phraya River just hop on a quick ferry from Tha Tien Pier near Wat Pho, which costs around 5 THB. For situations like this I think joining a tour like this Guided Bangkok Temple Tour makes it easier and hassle free to explore all of Bangkok’s famous temples without worrying about getting around.
Wat Arun’s entry fee is 100 THB, and it usually stays open until 6:00 PM. The main highlight is its central prang (Khmer-style tower) that rises over 70 meters high, beautifully decorated with colorful ceramics and seashells. You can climb part of the tower for panoramic views of the river and Bangkok’s Old Town. It’s one of those spots I always recommend adding to your Bangkok itinerary, you really don’t wanna miss it, in fact, you haven’t been to Bangkok if you didn’t visit Wat Arun.
What could be better than a delicious plate of Pad Thai after a long morning?
Alright 3 temples in (and a Grand Palace) and you’re probably very hungry right now, you’ll be glad to know that our first real taste of Bangkok Street Food in this 5 Day Bangkok Itinerary is at the most legendary spot in Bangkok serving Thailand’s national dish, Thipsamai (Read my Review Here). Thipsamai is known for serving some of the best Pad Thai in Bangkok, and what makes it special is their (not so) secret ingredient of stir frying the Pad Thai with shrimp oils for that extra added umami kick. It does get a bit busy but far less than the Michelin Star street food restaurant Raan Jay Fai that is quite literally next door.
If you have extra time or energy after lunch, I suggest visiting one of my favorite temples in Bangkok, Wat Saket (The Golden Mount), which is just a short ride or walk away. This temple sits on an artificial hill with a golden chedi on top, offering one of the best panoramic views of Bangkok’s Old Town. Wat Saket’s Entrance free is 100 THB, and the walk up is around 300 step, perfect to burn some Pad Thai calories. Aside from the main golden mount, Wat Saket also has the Bamiyan Museum and a pretty grim Vultures of Wat Saket display.
Evening: Eating Through Bangkok’s Chinatown at Yaowarat Road
Always packed full of people, but at the same time, always packed full of delicious food
No Bangkok Itinerary is complete without a visit to right to the heart of Bangkok’s street food scene at Yaowarat! The largest Chinatown in South East Asia, Yaowarat is a district with a lot of rich Thai-Chinese immigrant history and of course, food culture. There is so much to eat here, I absolutely just love coming here on the weekends just to eat.
You’ll find many of Bangkok’s must eat street foods and restaurants along the main road and its many alleyways. Some must try Thai street food dishes in Yaowarat include the famous Rolled Kway Chap Noodles, Yaowarat Toasted Buns, Fish Maw Soup, Fried Oyster Omelette, Rad Na Gravy Noodles, and soooooo much more. You could spend a full day here and still find plenty of new Bangkok street foods to try. Check out my Must Eat Street Foods at Yaowarat Road I cover every well known dish and restaurant as well as hidden gems that you must try.
If you want to take the guesswork out of your Bangkok street food adventure and make sure you hit all the best spots, consider joining Bangkok Backstreets Food Tour Through Yaowarat. The tour is led by a local foodie expert who know exactly where to find the tastiest grilled seafood, savory boat noodles, and sweet mango sticky rice. Plus, you’ll get to learn so much about vibrant Chinatown culture while skipping the hassle of navigating busy streets on your own. It’s a great way to maximize your time and taste the highlights of Yaowarat’s legendary street food scene on your 5 Day Bangkok Itinerary.
Day 2: Bangkok Day Trip to Ayutthaya!
can anybody tell me what these robes are for? I think they’re supposed to mimic the gold plating on these chedis
Welcome to day 2 of our 5 Day Bangkok Itinerary, today is going to be quite the adventure because I am bringing on a day trip from Bangkok to Ayutthaya, to explore the Ayutthaya Historical Park, the once Ancient Capital of Thailand! (back when the country was named Siam).
For today, we will be joining a tour (or a private tour, up to you) because truth is, it’s pretty convoluted and difficult to go to Ayutthaya by yourself, after all, Ayutthaya is located 80km north of Bangkok and it takes around 1.5 hours to get there by car. So the tour we will be joining is this Ayutthaya Day Trip Tour provided by TTD Global via Klook, more specifically, the package that we will be going on is the UNESCO Ayutthaya Temple which starts at 12:00 PM. I’m not shilling here, this tour is honestly one of the most convenient ways to visit the ancient capital without worrying about tickets or complicated transport. I’ve been on it and can confirm it was worth it.
Morning: Traveling to Ayutthaya From Bangkok
What was once the richest cities in South East Asia, now a memory of it’s former glory
Good morning! Alright, we have time to enjoy a quick breakfast at the hotel or if you’re craving some Bangkok street food breakfast items, then be on the lookout for Moo Ping (Grilled Pork Skewers) and Sticky Rice, Jok (rice porridge), Nam Tao Hoo (Soy Milk), and Patongo (Chinese Donuts), these are classic Thai breakfast items that we locals normally eat, you can have these for every day of your Bangkok Itinerary if you want, I know if it was me, I wouldn’t want to be stuck with the hotel breakfast.
Ok, our tour officially starts at 12:00 PM and we’ll have to be at the meeting point before then, the meeting point is at the Siam Paragon Shopping Mall, at Gate 1 on the Ground Floor. Super easy to reach via BTS Skytrain. As previously mentioned this tour has a private group option if you prefer and the tour bus can pick you up from your hotel but if you’re staying outside the bus’ general service area, that pick up will come at an additional cost. If you’re staying at one of my recommended boutique hotels in Bangkok, then there’s no need to worry.
From there, you’ll hop onto an air-conditioned tour bus, and your guide will brief everyone on the day’s Ayutthaya itinerary before heading out of Bangkok.
Afternoon: Exploring the UNESCO Ayutthaya Historical Park
These chedis used to be plated in gold believe it or not
By now we should’ve arrived in Ayutthaya! Welcome! So the Ayutthaya Historical Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site packed with ancient ruins, towering chedis, and centuries of Thai history. Back when Thailand was called Siam, Ayutthaya served as the capital of the Siamese (Ayutthaya) Kingdom from 1350 - 1767. During which it became one of the wealthiest cities in the known world and a major trading hub. However in 1767, the city was destroyed and the opulence was ransacked by the Burmese army, but the surviving temple complexes and royal structures still exist to this day, in the form of the Historical Park.
This is when I’d like to point out how amazing our tour guide was, I joined a group tour and we had Ms. Som who was so friendly and knowledgeable. She explained the history in a way that’s easy to follow, share fun local stories, and even help with taking photos. She’s a gem seriously made this Ayutthaya day trip special. And having a guide is really helpful too especially that we’re squeezing an Ayutthaya day trip into our 5 Day Bangkok Itinerary, as there are so many landmarks to see.
The famous Buddha encased in a tree at Wat Mahathat, like something out of a fairy tale
Speaking of landmarks, in the Ayutthaya Historical Park some must see landmarks are the Wat Mahathat, where the famous Buddha head sits encased in tree roots, and Wat Phra Si Sanphet, the royal temple known for its row of towering stupas.
Another famous landmark is Wat Chaiwatthanaram, with its impressive riverfront views and detailed Khmer style architecture. Also if you’re into Thai dramas, you’ll recognized that this temple is a filming location for the beloved Thai drama "Love Destiny". I don’t watch dramas so I wouldn’t know, but Ms. Som did.
Anyways, this Bangkok day trip to Ayutthaya was fun but, unless you booked another package with more things to do in Ayutthaya, we’re going to be heading back to Bangkok now. So enjoy a little nap on the bus because the next stop on this Bangkok Itinerary is going to be another fun one.
Evening: Wind Down at a Rooftop Bar in Bangkok
Good food, good drinks, good vibes, and on top of city, what could be better than that?
Today was a looong day, so after a full day of exploring Ayutthaya, one of the best ways to wind down in Bangkok is by visiting one of Bangkok’s rooftop bars. The city is known for its stunning skyline views, and of course business owners took advantage of that by opening plenty of rooftop bars. There’s no better way to relax than with a cocktail in hand and watching the sun set behind the skyscrapers, it’s one of the best things to do in Bangkok and you’ll be missing out if you didn’t squeeze one into your Bangkok itinerary.
Though Bangkok rooftop bars sound expensive the best part is that Bangkok has options for every style and budget, you don’t have to splurge out 400 THB for a simple cocktail if you don’t want to. And many of the rooftop bars in Bangkok also offer drinks and dining packages some with huge discounts of up to 60% off if you book them through Klook. I’ve included links to them in my recommendations for Bangkok rooftop bars below:
Vertigo - At Banyan Tree Bangkok, one of the most famous rooftop bars in Bangkok, has a dining package for 3 dishes and 90 minutes of free flowing mocktails for over 60% off original price.
Akara Sky Hanuman - At One City Center, stylish rooftop spot with mythical theming, has a package for reservations with complimentary dish, or a set of 2 cocktails for one person.
Octave Rooftop Bar - At the Bangkok Marriot Hotel, located on the 45th floor, 360-degree views of Bangkok’s skyline, with a vibrant atmosphere, live DJ sets, and creative cocktails.
Three Sixty - At the Millennium Hilton Bangkok, amore relaxed rooftop lounge vibe with river views and live jazz. Complimentary snack and 2 hour free flowing alcohol package available.
Just be sure to not drink too much… just use common sense and be responsible, excessive alcohol and rooftops don’t mix well…
Day 3: Bangkok Floating Market!
I couldn’t imagine what traffic jams would be like back then…
Good morning, everyone! It’s day 3 of our 5 day Bangkok Itinerary, and by now you’re probably hankering for some real Authentic Thai Street Food, well today is all about that and then more!
Today int he morning, we’ll be traveling to 2 of Bangkok’s famous floating markets: The Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, and the Maeklong Railway Market. In the afternoon I’ll treat you to a rejuvenating Thai Massage, and we’ll end the day eating some delicious Bangkok street food at one of the many Street Food Night Markets in Bangkok.
So, skip your hotel breakfast buffet because today is gonna be a whole lotta eatin’!
Morning: Touring and Eating Through Bangkok Floating Markets!
The vegetables being under the passing train doesn’t inspire a lot of confidence tbh…
First destination on today’s Bangkok Itinerary is the Maeklong Railway Market. Also known as the Hoop Rom Market (translates to close umbrella market) or the Siang Tai Market (risking death market), the Maeklong Railway Market is famous for the literal functioning railway with the occasional train passing through the tracks that are lined on both sides with street food vendors and fresh produce shops.
The names of the market comes from the wild scene where the vendors quickly pull back their awnings and produce, while visitors hastily jump out of the way just seconds before the train passes, but don’t worry though, because the train is slow, so unless you’re really unaware of your surroundings, you’ll be fine, I promise :)
The Maeklong Railway Market is more like a local fresh market selling fresh fruits and produce. It’s a common place for locals to buy groceries like seafood vegetables, fruits, meats, and more. For tourists there are a few stalls selling some classic Bangkok street food dishes like Moo Ping grilled pork skewers and Khanom Krok coconut griddle cakes. But save your stomachs because the next stop in our Bangkok itinerary is when you’ll really start to feast.
Who could resist that smile? Give me 10 of whatever you’re selling!
Welcome to the famous Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, one of the most popular floating markets near Bangkok. Though it’s more touristy than local, the atmosphere still feels lively and authentic, with narrow canals packed full of colorful wooden boats selling everything from freshly grilled prawns to the titular Boat Noodle Soups (Check out Boat Noodle Alley in Bangkok for the best boat noodles in the city!).
Transport might be an issue so I think the easiest way to visit both Maeklong Railway Market and Damnoen Saduak in one morning is by booking a Thailand Floating Markets Day Trip Tour. This is a guided tour brought to you by the same lovely people from the previous day’s tour, the lovely tour guide will bring you to both markets as well as introducing you to some must eat Bangkok street foods. It’s a great hassle free way to enjoy the Bangkok floating markets for your 5 Day Bangkok Itinerary.
Ok, speaking of Bangkok street foods, eat, eat, eat! One of the best parts of visiting Damnoen Saduak Floating Market is sampling all the delicious Thai street food, some right from the boat passing along the canals. Boat noodle soup (must eat when at a floating market), fried spring rolls, grilled skewers, Bah Bin (Coconut Pancakes, my personal favourite Thai snack), and even freshly made Mango Sticky Rice. Aside from the classics, you’ll also find innovative street foods like grilled scallops topped with mozzarella cheese and that spicy and sour Thai seafood sauce, God I love Thai seafood sauce…
Afternoon: Unwind Your Body with a Thai Massage
You’ll discover that your body could contort in ways you never thought possible
Once you’ve stuffed your bellies at the Bangkok Floating Markets, let me bring you to one of the most popular things to do in Bangkok, getting your muscles and bones healed at a traditional Thai Massage! Honestly, no Bangkok itinerary is complete without a trip to a massage parlor.
If you have never heard of a Thai Massage before, where have you been? A Thai massage is different from a regular massage in that the practitioner uses their entire body, like their elbows, feet, knees, and of course hands, to create a concise amount of pressure on your body. It’s very relaxing and trust me when I say that after your session, your body will feel like you’re young again, and all the pain and aches will disappear.
Usually, you can choose from different types of treatments, like the classic traditional Thai massage, foot massage, or a relaxing full body aromatic oil massage, which uses a herbal oil massaged into your skin to soothe tired muscles. A traditional Thai massage parlor that I highly recommend that is famous with both the locals and tourists is One More Thai, they offer a herbal massage as well which gives a calming effect to your psyche. Plus a complimentary Thai dessert is also included with your Thai Massage experience.
Ready to make your body feel young again!
Here are more options for Thai massages in Bangkok:
Once Upon a Thai Massage & Spa - A cozy, spot offering traditional Thai massages, foot reflexology, and aromatherapy treatments.
Let's Relax Onsen Experience - Japanese style onsen in Bangkok with hot mineral baths, sauna rooms, and an extensive menu of Thai and aromatherapy massages.
Lek Massage & Salon - Popular and affordable, no fuss and quality Thai massages, foot treatments, and basic beauty services.
Health Land Spa & Massage - Bangkok’s largest and most trusted chain massage parlors, good and reliable service, many branches, lots of massage options, can’t go wrong with them.
Just make sure you know the difference between a professional Thai massage and the other kind of "massage", you’ll noticed these parlors by the number of pretty ladies sitting out front and the menus listing things like “Nuru Massage”. Stick with reputable spas like the ones I provided above, I don’t condone shady tourism.
Evening: Feast Your Heart Out at the Bangkok Street Food Night Markets
They even got little picnic tables for you, the Thais know that markets are all about eating!
For our third evening in our 5 day Bangkok itinerary, we will be eating plenty of street food! Now there are a couple of dozen amazing Street Food Night Markets in Bangkok, and feel free to go to any one of them. But I honestly think that the best street food night market in Bangkok that is perfect for first time visitors is Jodd Fairs Ratchada. I know, I know, controversial opinion but hear me out.
Yes it’s very touristy, yes it’s a bit overpriced, and yes it’s mostly tourists there. But that’s the thing, it’s good because IT IS MADE FOR TOURISTS, that’s the whole point, Jodd Fairs is suppose to be a fun and easy experience. And no matter how “touristy” it is, it’s still a damn fun night market to explore, it’s one of my favorites actually, and it’s the perfect spot for an evening in your Bangkok itinerary.
Jodd Fairs Ratchada is undeniably the most popular night market for street food and casual shopping in Bangkok. The market opens at 5:00PM but it really starts coming alive at round 6:30PM when all the stalls are fully opened. It’s the modern spiritual successor to the famous Talad Rod Fai Night Market, and it’s packed with food stalls, trendy outdoor bars, food trucks, and boutique shops. Jodd Fairs is huge and well organized, the stalls are lined in grid-like rows and columns, and the main focus here is FOOD.
A modern Thai street food invention, Leng Saab, towering pork spine bathing in a sour and spicy soup
Look out for giant grilled seafood platters, grilled meat skewers, Korean food like Tteokbokki, the infamous Leng Saab (a mountain of braised pork spine in a spicy and sour soup), Mango sticky rice, crocodile meat, some funky ice cream flavors like pork floss and chili, plenty of coconut juice and slushies, foodtrucks, bars serving cocktails and Beer Chang, there is sooooo much variety of classic and innovative Bangkok street food dishes to try here.
And that is why I recommend Jodd Fairs to all my friends visiting Bangkok, it’s a must visit. So much food, such a nice retro ambiance and vibe, such a great time. It’s touristy, sure, but so is a Tuk-tuk and a Thai Massage.
Day 4: Exploring Modern Bangkok
Bangkok’s major shopping malls are all connected to the Sky Train making for incredibly easy access
Good morning again! Welcome to the 4th day of the 5 Day Bangkok Itinerary, for the past few days I’ve brought you to explore the cultural and historical aspects of Bangkok, today is when we explore the modern side of the city!
The main focus of today is the Siam district, a modern and upscale area full of luxury shopping malls, museums, and entertainment exhibits. If you are planing to do some shopping in your Bangkok itinerary, today is the day for you! Plus, we’ll be ending the day with a nice river (and dinner) cruise along the scenic Chao Phraya River.
Morning: Visiting the Jim Thompson House
First person to tell me in the comments below where Jim Thompson went, I’ll give them 10 cans of Chang Beer
Jim Thompson House is one of the Bangkok’s most interesting cultural attractions. Jim Thompson was an American CIA turned businessman who played a major role in reviving Thailand’s silk industry in the 1950s and 60s. At the time, the Thai silk industry was struggling, but Thompson saw its potential and helped revive it by promoting Thai silk internationally with his fabrics even appearing in Broadway productions and Hollywood films.
However, in 1967 Jim Thompson vanished while on holiday in the Cameron Highlands of Malaysia. Despite massive search efforts, he was never found, and his disappearance remains one of Southeast Asia’s biggest unsolved mysteries to this very day.
His house now serves as a beautifully preserved musuem of life in Bangkok in the mid 20th century. Constructed from teakwood, and featuring a lush garden, elegant living spaces, and showcases of Thompson’s personal collection of Southeast Asian antiques. There are Tours are available daily, that bring you around the complex if you wish to join one, tickets can be purchased on Viator. On a side note, the entrance fee to the museum is 200 THB.
If you want a piece of Jim Thompson history to bring back home from your 5 day Bangkok itinerary, then check out the Jim Thompson silk shop where you can browse high quality silk scarves, ties, homeware, and fashion. Prices aren’t the cheapest, but the quality is excellent.
Afternoon: Shopping at Bangkok’s Many Malls
CentralWOrld has everything you need and then some!
The Thai’s love shopping malls, it’s our favorite past time (not mine, quite frankly I’m tired of malls) mainly due to the air conditioning! But that quirk is why Bangkok is home to some of the world’s best shopping malls. There are plenty of shopping malls in Bangkok so let me explain some of the popular ones for you.
Starting off in the Siam area that we are already at:
Siam Paragon - Luxury shopping hub with designer brands, and home to the SEA LIFE Bangkok Ocean World, the largest indoor aquarium in Southeast Asia
Siam Discovery - Modern, interactive shopping space with unique concept stores, home décor, and creative pop up exhibitions, home to Madame Tussauds BANGKOK.
Siam Center - Trendy, fashion forward mall featuring Thai designer boutiques, streetwear, and cool cafés.
CentralWorld - One of Bangkok’s biggest malls, packed with international fashion brands, electronics, restaurants, and the famous outdoor plaza for events and seasonal festivals.
MBK Center - Very affordable shopping, electronics, souvenirs, and bargain deals, a classic stop on any Bangkok itinerary.
Sooksiam, ICONSIAM’s indoor floating market with pently of Thai street food!
Some popular shopping malls in Bangkok outside of Siam are:
Terminal 21 (Asoke) - A themed mall where each floor represents a different world city, plus a very affordable food court, one of the cheapest places to get food in Bangkok, tourists love it.
ICONSIAM - A newer luxury riverside shopping mall with high end brands. Features a famous indoor floating market zone on the ground floor full of glorious Bangkok street food.
One Bangkok - Bangkok’s newest lifestyle complex combining luxury retail, dining, and future entertainment spaces. Though still a bit empty due to it’s “new-ness”
Emporium, Emquartier, Emsphere - Bangkok’s upscale shopping trio in Phrom Phong, collectively referred to as “The Em District”. Luxury brands and gourmet supermarkets, Emsphere has particularly good restaurants.
And there are many, many more, check out my blog posts on the Best Shopping Malls in Bangkok to discover more if you haven’t already.
Oh and if you’re looking for Lunch, Thong Smith is a must try spot to add to your Bangkok itinerary. Known for serving premium boat noodles with Australian Wagyu beef! You’ll find branches at major malls like CentralWOrld and ICONSIAM, Emsphere even has a Thong Smith Hot Pot! My cousins visited from America and they loved Thong Smith, had it 3 times throughout their trip if I remember correctly.
Evening: Asiatique Riverfront and Chao Phraya River Cruise
You could come here during the day, but why would you when the night is way more beautiful
Ok, once you’re done shopping it’s time to head to our last destination for our 4th day in our Bangkok itinerary, Asiatique the Riverfront, one of the most popular night attractions along the Chao Phraya River.
Asiatique the Riverfront is a night bazaar/mall and it’s very special in the sense that the atmosphere it provides is so romantic and picture-esque. Asiatique is full of restaurants, clothing stores and more, it’s more upscale than a traditional Bangkok night market, but also humble and less expensive than say, a luxury shopping mall like the ones we went to earlier in the day. You’ll likely notice the iconic landmark that is the Ferris wheel that offers a beautiful view of Bangkok, make sure to hop on as it’s one of the must do things at Asiatique.
If you’re looking for entertainment, don’t miss the Calypso Cabaret Show, one of Bangkok’s most world famous performance featuring a full cast of Thailand’ most talented Ladyboys! It’s a lively, colorful show that lasts around an hour, making it easy to fit into your Bangkok itinerary evening plans without taking up the whole night.
But wait, don’t find a restaurant to eat dinner just yet! Because I’m taking you on a slow and romantic River Dinner Cruise along the Chao Phraya River!
Unlimited buffet and live music? Count me in!
I highly recommend adding the Chao Phraya Princess Dinner Cruise to your Bangkok itinerary. This popular river cruise lets you experience Bangkok’s skyline from a different perspective as you glide along the giant Chao Phraya River that cuts through Bangkok. The boat itself is large, comfortable, and fully air-conditioned inside, with an open-air deck where you can enjoy live 80s jazz music to go along with panoramic views of Bangkok’s illuminated landmarks like Wat Arun, The Grand Palace, and the Rama VIII Bridge.
But of course, the highlight is the full international buffet that is on board! Offering a wide selection of dishes like: grilled seafood, sizzling steaks, desserts, and more. In my opinion, this is the best way to end a night in Bangkok. Live music, food, boat, what more could a man (or woman) ask for? You can pre book your seats online through Klook to secure your spot, especially during peak season when these cruises tend to fill up fast. If you on this 5 day Bangkok itinerary for a romantic getaway with your special someone, the Chao Phraya River Cruise is perfect.
Day 5: Thai Cooking Class and Muay Thai!
Tingly Thai Cooking School, look at all that delicious food!
Hello and good morning! Welcome to the final day in this grand 5 Day Bangkok Itinerary. Today, I think it’s fitting if we do something a bit more chill and memorable. I’m thinking it’ll be a great idea to start the day by cafe hopping throughout Bangkok, next we’ll attend a Thai cooking class and finally, to round off this entire Bangkok holiday, we’ll be spectating an unforgettable Muay Thai match!
So get ready for one last hurrah in Bangkok!
Morning: A little bit of Cafe Hopping in Bangkok
The carrot cake at Goodfellas is to die for!
Kicking off our morning on the last day of our Bangkok itinerary, many of you might not realize but Bangkok (to be honest, all of Thailand) has a growing and diverse coffee scene. In other provinces large and elaborate coffee shops are basically tourist attractions, while in Bangkok, due to the limited city space, coffee shops are smaller but appeal to the social media crowd. Yes, that does sadly mean a lot of cafes in Bangkok are for basically there for instagram photo ops, and most of the coffee and snacks is subpar…
But since I am a huge coffee snob, I’ll be sharing with you some of my personal favorite cafes, ones that serve actually good coffee, and also ones that appeal to the social media influencer secretly hiding in all of us, also included are some fun dog cafes in Bangkok:
Gimbocha - Minimalist Japanese-inspired tea house known for premium tea leaves, delicate desserts, and an incredibly cozy atmosphere, my Girlfriend and I’s favorite cafe, I actually visited this as part of my Beef Noodle Soup in Bangkok YouTube Video.
Artís Coffee - Small specialty coffee cafe offering expertly brewed espresso and pour-over coffee. Perfect for cafe hopping in Bangkok
Goodfellas - My personal favorite cafe (and hostel), hidden gem with vintage decor serving strong, good place for brunch with their french toast and breakfast dishes.
Dog in Town - Dog café where you can enjoy coffee, snacks, and playtime with friendly resident dogs, a must-visit for animal lovers in Bangkok.
FUN Cafe - Playful cafe in Old Town, can paint your own cakes with icing, dog playpen upstairs.
Cafe hopping is a surprisingly fun and enjoyable thing to do in Bangkok, a lot of these cafes also serve drinks other than coffee as well as light meals or pastries and snacks. So if you don’t like coffee, no problem! Want more? Check out my list of the best cafes in Bangkok for cafe hopping.
Afternoon: Dishing up Authentic Food at Thai Cooking Class
After class, show off to your friends back home that you know how to make a mean Pad Thai
After your morning coffee(s), it’s time for what I think is the most rewarding activity in this 5 Day Bangkok Itinerary, attending and cooking up a storm at a hands on Thai Cooking Class, it’s the perfect way to wrap up your Bangkok holiday!
For Thai Cooking Classes there are usually Morning, Afternoon, and Evening slots, with the morning classes always including a trip to a local wet market to collect fresh herbs, vegetables, and spices. For this Bangkok itinerary, since I wanted to share with you the culture of cafes in Bangkok, we’ll be attending an Afternoon class, so no wet market visit unfortunately. However again, feel free to customize your Bangkok Itinerary, if you wanna take a morning class complete with the market then it’s totally up to you!
The two most popular Thai Cooking Class in Bangkok are the House of Taste Thai, and the Tingly Thai Cooking School. Both of these Thai cooking classes have similar menus and are all instructed by lovely teachers and assistants. These classes take around 3-4 hours and it’s the instructors that makes the classes special.
You can expect to cook the following dishes, note that the menu changes sometimes so, this is just a rough idea:
Tom Yum Goong - Sour and spicy shrimp soup
Tom Kha Gai - Spicy coconut soup with chicken
Som Tum - Thai shredded papaya salad
Pad Thai Goong - Stir fried rice noodles with tamarind sauce and shrimp
Green/Red/Panang/Massaman Curry - Chicken curry made from freshly made curry paste
Mango Sticky Rice - Fresh mango and sweet sticky rice served with coconut sauce
The last part is the fun part, eating! Also the best things is that after you are finished with the class, you can take this knowledge to cook up delicious Thai foods for your friends and family back home! So if you wanna spice up your family dinners, book a class for House of Taste Thai here, or a class for Tingly Thai here!
Evening: Enjoy a Thrilling Muay Thai Match!
These shows are literally modern day gladiator matches
We’ve come to our last night of this 5 Day Bangkok Itinerary! Though our adventures are coming to an end, the excitement is still high, I’m bringing you to watch a Muay Thai Fight, one of the most exciting things to do in Bangkok at night!
For those of you unaware, Muay Thai is Thailand’s national sport, famous for its fast-paced action, striking techniques, and intense well… tension. Regarding stadiums there are plenty around the city, but there is only one place synonymous with the most exciting and elaborate matches, that is the Rajadamnern Stadium, the world’s FIRST Muay Thai stadium which opened in 1945.
This is the place where Thailand’s rising Muay Thai stars come to showcase their mettle, with special guests, photo opportunities, DJs, and beautiful ring girls to get you ready for an adrenaline rush. Matches happen every day so there is always someone fighting, and the cool thing is the fighters aren’t limited to locals, you’ll spot some foreign stars in the ring as well! Did I mention that with certain tickets (like the VIP tickets) you get free flowing beer as well? Also if you book tickets through Klook, you get some special Klook Exclusive Packages as well, like a ringside seat with complimentary hot dog and soft drink.
I wonder if Muay Thai is actually a good sport to learn real self defense or fighting techniques?
Also, when talking about Muay Thai, I also need to mention another popular activity for you. If you want to be in the middle of the action, there are plenty of Muay Thai gyms in Bangkok where you can join a beginner friendly class. I tried one for fun before, and it was honestly one of the most fun (and exhausting) workouts I’ve ever done. Plus, it’s a great way to release stress and learn some self defense moves.
So that brings us to the end of your 5 Day Bangkok Itinerary, I hope my recommendations have helped you plan the most amazing Bangkok holiday! For the rest of this blog post, there are a few more pointers, tips, and information that I want share with you, such as Bangkok nightlife areas.
Bangkok Nightlife Scene
Bright neon lit streets like Khao San Road is only one part of Bangkok nightlife
Some of you might’ve heard that Bangkok is like the “Playground” of South East Asia, no doubt they’re referring to the city’s nightlife scene. No Bangkok itinerary is complete without experiencing the city’s iconic nightlife. You’ll find activities like the previously mentioned rooftop bars that we’ve been to, dance clubs, cocktail bars, live jazz bars, nightclubs, etc… Below I’ll go over some districts that are synonymous with Bangkok nightlife
Khao San Road
Welcome to Khao San Road! Backpacker central!
you’ve probably heard of Khao San Road, backpacker central, a must visit for anyone curious about Bangkok’s chaotic, backpacker party scene, and if you’re a backpacker, might as well fit this place into your list of things to do in Bangkok. The street is packed with bars, cheap cocktails, street performers, and food stalls, perfect for if you want loud music, affordable drinks, and a carefree party vibe.
But for me honestly, I have a negative perception of Khao San Road, not gonna lie. A lot of shady things happen in Khao San Road, scams, drug abuse, etc… And it’s all very touristy with vendors and street side scammers trying to take advantage of tourists who don’t know any better. But if you can get past all of that headache, you’ll find that Khao San is the best place in Bangkok to party.
Nana (Nana Plaza)
Gotta admit, the setup they got going on at Nana Plaza is impressive
For a completely different nightlife experience, one full of chaotic sights and sounds, neon lights, and the smell of weed blooming through the air, check out Nana Plaza in Sukhumvit. It’s known as one of Bangkok’s famous adult entertainment zones, filled with go-go bars and questionable massage parlors. If you’re the kind of tourist who enjoys these things well, here you go. I don’t condone these behaviors but I can’t stop you.
Even if you’re not into the nightlife scene there, it’s worth a walk to see how wild Bangkok can get after dark. The Nana district is absolutely not for everyone, but it’s big part of the Bangkok’s nightlife culture and it would be disingenuous to disregard it. Plus during the day time, there are lots of great middle eastern and Indian food in the Nana area!
Thonglor
Fancy cocktail bars like this one (Rabbit Hole) are everywhere in Thonglor
A lot of passport bros would have you believe that Bangkok nightlife consists of Khao San Road and seedy red light districts. That is not true at all…
If you’re looking for something more upscale to fit into your Bangkok itinerary, then areas like Thonglor is hipster-friendly district, packed with rooftop bars, hidden speakeasies, Nightclubs with live DJs, craft cocktail lounges, and lively late-night cafes. It’s where Bangkok’s more “hi-so” (high society) locals and expats come to unwind in style.
Thonglor is also packed with late-night eateries, dessert bars, and Japanese izakayas, so you can easily grab food between drinks. It’s safe, walk-able, and a lot more polished and reputable compared to other nightlife districts in Bangkok.
If you’re into premium cocktails, cool crowds, and stylish venues, make sure to set aside a night in Thonglor, it’s my recommendation for the best nightlife in Bangkok.
