What to Do in Bangkok:

1. If you want to go to the floating market, check the days and times in advance because it is not happening all the time and you might miss it.

2. When you visit the palace, you must have your legs and shoulders covered, so bring shalls or something light you can wear.

3. To get a good suit made, you need at least three days.

4. BEWARE of the Thai Massage. This is nothing like a Swedish massage. They twist and turn you so that you walk out of the parlor feeling like you were in a fight.

Getting Around in Bangkok:

1. Tuk Tuk’s are open-air motorized carts that are a common means of transportation for tourists. They are great for the cultural experience, but after you’ve had your fun with the tuk tuks, taxis are the way to go if you want to save time and money. Taxis are metered by law, so if your taxis doesn’t have a meter, don’t take it. They are much cheaper than the tuk tuks and they are air conditioned.

2. Traveling around Bangkok can be a nightmare with all the traffic. Wherever possible, take a ride along the river. Most the big temples are within close proximity to the river and it's a breeze heading back and forth.
