What People Are Saying About Bangkok

The Grand Palace

133***95
"There are a lot of tourists, and it is the most popular attraction from Chiang Mai to Bangkok during May Day. It was very hot again, and I sweated for a while, so I walked around and left. The temple where the Jade Buddha is served has a fan, and everyone hides in and rests, it is difficult to have gaps. The building is beautifully carved, and the buildings outside the palace are also very nice and very popular. There is a cafe at the exit."

"A lot of fun and a great view of the city for very cheap cost. Get on the top deck and wear a big hat and sunscreen for a great view of the city and many smaller boats (some which are really traditional and some which have big billboards stuck on top!) you can go past Wat Arun, many temples and attractions and much more. 10/10"
SEA LIFE Bangkok Ocean World

学校🏫
"Siam SeaWorld: Consumerist illusion of artificial deep blue This aquarium hidden underground in a shopping mall turns the ocean into a tradable landscape. Down the escalator through the luxury counter, you will fall into a deep blue universe forged with acrylic and LED lights. The 270-degree glass tunnel is a carefully designed cranial climax. Thai students collectively exclaim as hammerhead sharks swim overhead, while Chinese tourists are busy catching magical images of fish with beauty cameras framed by Gucci billboards. The most absurd belong to the undersea Buddha exhibition area koi and electronic lotus in the imitation of Mahatai Temple to create a Chinese dance, faith and entertainment are stirred into ornamental cocktails. The diver feeding show exposes all secrets. When staff dressed as Santa Claus danced with sharks, and when salmon crashed into a glass curtain wall for frozen shrimp, the mystery of the ocean was completely a footnote to the commercial script. The souvenir shop that must pass by the exit is even more cunning: the 699 baht glowing jellyfish lamp is clearly priced for the shocking memory just now. It is recommended to choose the night market to avoid the crowds. When the shadow of the manta rays flits over the empty glass curtain wall alone, and when the auto-decompressor stops playing, you may hear the low hum of the circular filter system the real heartbeat that sustains this artificial ocean breathing. It's not worth the pilgrimage for marine lovers, but as an urbane sensual anesthetic, it's really efficient."
Safari World Bangkok

"The price-performance ratio is very high. It is very cheap to book tickets in advance through Ctrip. We chartered a car from the city to the zoo. We told the driver that the car could drive in without buying tickets or driver fees. The performance was very good, but there were more Indians on the day we went, so the experience was a little worse. Everything else was perfect."

"The Ctrip package includes a buffet lunch, which is very cost-effective. The park is home to a variety of classic Thai-style buildings and is worth a visit. Since the attractions are widely distributed, it is recommended to rent a battery car, which is not expensive. You can drive it yourself and stop whenever you want. You can also ride an elephant and play for a day."
Golden Dome Cabaret Show

"Jin Dongni Shemale Show: Commercial Coding of Gender Spectacle In this neon-lit theater, gender is deconstructed into a marketable entertainment commodity. When the purple curtain was drawn, performers in rhinestone dresses stepped on high heels to appear on stage - their mascara could withstand the erosion of sweat, just like the secular prejudice that this industry must endure. The essence of performance is a patchwork of cultural symbols. "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau" and Korean dance are on the same stage, and the fingertips of traditional Thai dance and Broadway-style kicks alternately bombard the retina. The most magical part is the audience interaction: when a middle-aged male tourist was dragged onto the stage to imitate pole dancing, the laughter from the audience was mixed with subtle identity anxiety. Those bodies that are more feminine than women are deconstructing all definitions of gender with exaggerated coquettishness. The sketches backstage are even more interesting. The "heroines" who smoked e-cigarettes while waiting for the stage, their mobile phone screensavers were photos of their parents in their hometown; the male edges covered by hairline powder were faintly emerging under the fluorescent lights. The photo service at the theater entrance (100 baht/photo) is clearly marked with a price tag, which accurately transforms this gender experiment into a unit of measurement for consumerism. It is recommended to watch with a critical eye. When the background music of "Swan Lake" sounds and the transgender dancers raise their snow-white skirts, you will see how beauty and pain are woven into the lace of the entertainment industry. This place is not worth a pilgrimage for those who seek novelties, but as a prism for observing Thailand's gender culture, its refraction spectrum is more glaring and real than any sociological paper."
Wat Arun

"If you're planning to visit Wat Arun in Bangkok, aim for the golden hour—right before closing time. The crowds thin out just enough to enjoy the stunning architecture without feeling rushed, yet the temple remains lively. The entry fee is 200 THB and worth every baht."
Wonderful Pearl Cruise

"The Wonderful Pearl Cruise was a truly magical night on the Chao Phraya River! This luxurious dinner cruise combines stunning views of Bangkok’s illuminated landmarks with delicious Thai and international cuisine. Sailing past Wat Arun, the Grand Palace, and the Rama VIII Bridge under the stars was absolutely breathtaking. The ambiance onboard is elegant yet relaxed, with live music, cultural performances, and top-notch service. Whether you're celebrating something special romantic moments."
King Power Mahanakhon Sky Walk

"Wangquan Genting Building: Glass Illusion suspended above consumerism This 314-meter-high capital totem is weaving a new crown for Bangkok with tempered glass and adrenaline. When you step on the transparent plank road on the rooftop, the pixelated traffic at your feet is like video game scenes this artificial vertigo is the core commodity sold at 1,100 baht. The "Sky Trail" is actually a giant selfie background board. Tourists crawl, golden chicken independent or lying in a split, and squeeze the circle of friends in an anti-gravity position. The glass curtain wall on the east side hides a mystery: when the sunset penetrates the explosion-proof film, a huge advertisement for the Wangquan Duty Free Shop will be projected on the ground. The ambition of the shopping center is always suspended above the observation deck. The real magic moment is on the eve of heavy rain. In the afternoon of a dark cloud, lightning cracks in the leaden cloud and the whole city becomes an impending extinguished circuit board. At this time, the glass floor is foggy due to moisture, Instead, the deliberate thriller design was dispelled and people dared to look directly at the abyss. It is recommended to bring a telescope to peep into the details. The tin roof of the slum in the northwest is stubbornly twinkling in the luxury hotel group, and the Zhaopiye River is breathing hard in the cracks of the steel forest. This height provides not only a panoramic view, Class-level X-rays. When the elevator throws you back to the ground in 50 seconds, the duty-free perfume wall of the exit channel immediately wraps up the smell, completes the perfect closed loop from the cloud to the materialistic."
King Power Mahanakhon Tower

"Kingdom Grand Kyoto Building: Capital-painted Vertical Carnival This giant tower known for its pixelated glass curtain walls is actually a shrine to consumerism. When the elevator throws you at a speed of 20 meters per second to a height of 314 meters, the change of ear pressure has quietly completed the transformation from mortal to "prestige member" identity. The 78-glazed sky trail is the most shrewd psychological game. Tourists or lizards crawl or golden chicken independent, I don't know that every step is captured by HD cameras, and the paid electronic photos are scanned at the exit - even fear has become a quantifiable commodity. Under the transparent floor of the cantilevered observation deck on the west side, light rail trains such as luminous ~ passing through the building gap, This God perspective has instantly elevated Bangkok's chaotic aesthetic to contemporary art. Real black humor is in the bottom duty-free shop. When you feel small in the observation deck, the luxury cabinet downstairs is looking at the wallets of tourists with the same eyes. It is recommended to climb to the top half an hour before sunset, watch the sunset to program a gradient color spectrum for the pixel curtain wall, and the neon sign of the Oriental Pixel Building lights up on time, and the two capital totems complete silent dialogue in the dusk. It is not worth a special pilgrimage here, but as a specimen of modernity experience, It accurately presents a dual human desire to be above the world and not to leave things. When you leave, don't forget to touch the tempered glass fragments at the exits - the cracks that were cracked by fans during the World Cup - that are the real lifeblood of the entire building."
The Temple of the Emerald Buddha

学校🏫
"Wangfo Temple: Jade Fable in a Golden Silk Cage This temple deep in the Grand Palace is dedicated to the spiritual totem of Thailand - a 66-centimetre jade Buddha. When tourists step barefoot into the glass-encrusted corridor, the air-conditioning and air-conditioning inside the Buddhist hall form a subtle confrontation with the tropical heat outside the temple, just like a metaphor for modern faith. The ritual of changing clothes in the three seasons of Jade Buddha is the most dramatic. The golden wisps rotate with the hot season, rainy season and cool season, and the dress-up ceremony hosted by the king himself is actually a carefully orchestrated power show. The faithful looked up at the lower eyelids of the jade buddhist Buddha, but did not notice the thermostatic system hidden in the pedestal of the Buddha, where the purity of faith and the guarantee of technology reached a subtle compromise. The mural corridor of the east wall is called the Buddhist version of the gods' song. 178 wet murals depict the war of the devil, but most tourists will only leave fingerprints wrapped in the gold of the demon image. The miniature model of Angkor Wat in the back hall is even more elusive, and the heritage of the Khmer civilization conquered by Thailand has become a decorative bonsai. It is recommended to mix into the morning prayer crowd. When the monks' chanting sounded over the gold colonnade, when the security guards had not yet started to drive out the shorts tourists, the jade buddha mouth of the seemingly unsmiling smile was the clearest - it saw more than two hundred years of human farce, from the colonial threat of selfie stick siege, always maintained the emerald cold and immortal."
