Our highlights by local Siriwan Fuangfung
Discover Bangkok Like a Local
See a Different Side of Bangkok
Bangkok is home to some of Thailand’s most famous landmarks — from the Grand Palace to the Reclining Buddha at Wat Pho. These must-see attractions offer a glimpse into the city’s rich cultural heritage.
But beyond the major sights, Bangkok is a city best experienced through its everyday rhythms. Traveling like a local — by water taxi, tuk-tuk, or the BTS Sky Train — reveals a more authentic side of life in the capital. These modes of transport aren’t just practical; they’re part of what makes the city unique.
A lesser-known gem is the Jim Thompson House, a traditional wooden home tucked away near a quiet canal. Arriving there via one of the city’s narrow canals, or klongs, offers a peaceful contrast to Bangkok’s busy streets — and a glimpse into routes that locals use every day.
Discover the Ancient Capital of Ayutthaya
Ayutthaya is definitely worth visiting, especially if you love old temples and ruins and want to uncover the mysteries of Thailand’s former capital. I visited the historic city again on our last trip, and after spending 2 days exploring, it firmly sits on my list of top places to visit in Thailand. Ayutthaya is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its majestic ruins and timeless atmosphere. Some of the most iconic sites include:
Wat Mahathat, famous for the Buddha head entwined in tree roots
Wat Phra Si Sanphet, once the royal temple of the Ayutthaya kings
Wat Chaiwatthanaram, a photogenic riverside temple complex reminiscent of Angkor Wat
You can explore the ruins by bicycle, tuk-tuk, or even by boat along the rivers that surround the island city.

Focus on how you can help and benefit your user. Use simple words so that you don’t confuse people.
