Urlaub in Bangkok

Bangkok spans four centuries with remarkable ease. The crowds, high-rises and 21st century westernized culture blend seamlessly with the sanctity and serenity of the 17th century temples. Bangkok is not like the rest of Thailand and in many ways is streets ahead of the rest of its Asian region. A seductive city, skirting the banks of the Chao Phraya River, Bangkok beckons visitors not only in its capacity as a major economic center of Asia but as a tourist center par excellence. Visit extraordinary ancient Buddhist and Hindu temples, such as Wat Pho with its reclining Buddha, in a remarkable state of preservation. Stay at luxurious hotels that rival the best in the world. Enjoy a drink in one of the many bars along the river and relish authentic Thai cuisine at its spiciest. Bangkok is so much more than The Oriental City of Sin!

Top-Sehenswürdigkeiten in Bangkok

1.	Pray at Wat Pho Wat Pho is Bangkok’s oldest temple and, set on 20 acres, it is also the largest Wat. It is famed for its reclining Buddha, the largest in Thailand. The grounds have over 1000 images of Buddha, mostly from the ruins of the former capitals of Ayutthaya and Sukhothai. This collection is the largest number in any one place in Thailand. Wat Pho is also Thailand’s first university. It is also a good place to get a traditional Thai massage and learn the technique. On Sundays you may chance upon a dance class in progress. « ausblenden
2.	Watch a Boxing Match in Thailand Lovers of action will enjoy watching Muay Thai, the martial arts form originating in Thailand.

4.	Street Stalls Street Stalls all over Bangkok offer a variety of food. A couple of tips for visitors who are squeamish about eating street food: wander around the stalls before choosing and satisfy yourself about the hygiene. Make sure that what you order is cooked fresh and that they do not serve ready dishes from the stall. You cannot go wrong with your choice if there is a huge crowd waiting to be served at a particular stall- especially if they are a group of office-goers! (Less than $3) Choose from the stalls at Tong Lo; they serve superb seafood salads and oyster pancakes. The stalls at Yaowarat Road in Chinatown offer excellent Chinese food though you may choose to eat at local restaurants too. A meal at Suan Lum Night Bazaar near Lampini Park can be a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Chilled beer and freshly cooked noodles with barbecued meats accompanied by live music food all add up to a fun time. « ausblenden
5.	Sara Jane’s Sara Jane’s is an extremely popular restaurant serving traditional northeastern cuisine such as salads served with larb, a dish of marinated minced pork, chicken, or tuna. A spicy grilled fish salad is also a hot favorite here. « ausblenden

Insider-Tipps für Bangkok

1.	Pay Heed to Warnings from Authorities Since the recent bombings and terrorist attacks it is better to be aware of any threat at any location in Bangkok. Do follow whatever instructions the authorities may issue from time to time and do not attempt anything foolhardy. Always co-operate with the police or others in authority during any untoward situation. « ausblenden
2.	Beware of conmen in Bangkok It is common for con-men to try and befriend tourists and offer friendly unsolicited help and advice. Stay out of their clutches or you may pay a heavy price for your gullibility. Pleasant faced locals often tell visitors that a particular monument is closed and offer alternative suggestions of places to visit. Always ensure from the gate or authorities at the monument if it is indeed shut. Do not take up offers from strangers to escort you to another site or to help you buy gems cheaply. You may end up paying dearly. « ausblenden
3.	Traffic In Bangkok is Murderous The introduction of the sky train and subway has eased the nightmarish traffic problem to a certain extent. Though the roads are still jammed, at least there are alternative means of getting from one place to another. Do not trust taxi or tuk tuk drivers completely – they are not always honest and never seem to have change to return. You may end up spending a fortune on cab fares. « ausblenden
