When it does not rain, one can go to visit the Grand Palace, the luxury residence for the King of Thailand, one of the richest men in the world.

At night, it’s recommended to appreciate the famous Thai boxing; and Muay Thai Live given at Asiatique The Riverfront is one of the most popular. Another interesting thing to do in Bangkok at night is tasting various local food and snacks at Khao San Road.
