Bangkok – Temples, great food and Muay Thai boxing
📍 Destination: Bangkok
⏳ Duration: 3 days
🌟 Trip highlights:
- Tuk-tuk ride through central Bangkok.
- Boat trip through Bangkok's rivers.
- Trip to the Floating Market and Train Market.
- Muay Thai boxing at the famous Rajadamnern Stadium.

✈️ Tips & tricks:
- Download the "Get Your Guide" app before you leave so you can book activities while you're there.
- Download "Grab" so you can book taxis.
- Agree on a price with the tuk-tuk driver before you set off.
🍽️ Food experiences:
- Don't be afraid to try the food at the many street food stalls. You'll find many hidden gems for next to nothing.
- "Jeh O Chula" was the best place we ate. It's a street food stall that has received a Michelin star. You should therefore arrive well in advance, as the wait is long. However, it is well worth the wait.
🏠 Accommodation: We stayed at "Rambutti Village", which is close to Khao San Road. It was relatively cheap and centrally located for everything we did.
📝 Trip story:
On our last day in Bangkok, we went to see Muay Thai boxing – a wildly awesome experience with a great atmosphere and plenty of action. We also quenched our thirst with a couple of cold "Chang" beers, which quickly became our go-to beer in Thailand.
After the fights, we took a tuk-tuk back to the hotel, but the evening wasn't over yet. We decided to head out to the lively nightlife on Khao San Road. The hours flew by, and before we knew it, it was five in the morning before we managed to drag ourselves back to the hotel.
It was a bit of a rush – we had to catch a train to Chiang Mai at eight. But it was all worth it.
