Begin your day at the Grand Palace, a stunning complex of buildings that was once the home of Thai Kings. Inside the palace, you'll find the famous Wat Phra Kaew or the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, one of the most sacred Buddhist sites in Thailand. From there, take a tuk-tuk to the Chatuchak Weekend Market, the largest outdoor market in Thailand where you can try delicious street food and shop for souvenirs. End your day with a relaxing Thai massage at Wat Pho, one of the oldest temples in Bangkok, home to the famous 150-foot-long gold-plated reclining Buddha.
Start your day by exploring the Chiang Mai Old City Wall, which was once the boundary that surrounded the ancient kingdom of Lanna. Continue to the Wat Chedi Luang, a beautiful temple that hosts an annual festival celebrating the end of the rainy season. Take a walk to the Chiang Mai Night Bazaar, a lively night market with shopping, street food, and live performances. End your day by savoring a traditional Khao Soi dish, a beloved Northern Thai noodle soup, at Khao Soi Khun Yai.
Begin your day with a visit to The Sanctuary of Truth, an awe-inspiring wooden temple carved with traditional Thai and Buddhist motifs that sits on the coast. Next, head to Art In Paradise Pattaya, an interactive art museum, for some fun photo opportunities. Take a stroll on the beach and end your day with a stunning panoramic view of the city at The Pattaya Viewpoint.
If you have more time, consider spending an additional day in Bangkok to visit other landmarks such as Wat Arun Ratchawararam Ratchaworamahawihan, also known as the Temple of Dawn or going to Siam Paragon, a shopping mall with luxury and international brands for shopping, cultural events, and fine dining. If you have less time, consider combining days two and three by flying from Chiang Mai to Pattaya without stopping in Bangkok.
