The capital, Bangkok

Then, a must-see stop in the capital: visiting the temples, especially the Royal Palace and its famous golden temples, the Temple of Dawn (Wat Arun) or Wat Pho with its reclining Buddha. You can then continue with Chinatown, a tourist attraction full of surprises. And finally, to end this day in style, there's nothing like having a drink on one of the many rooftops in the capital, offering an exceptional view of the city.
