Bangkok

Thailand's capital Bangkok is kept alive by the beautiful mess of traffic and people. Iconic landmarks include the official residence of the King of Siam, the Bangkok Grand Palace, Wat Phra Kaew Temple, Wat Arun, and the Temple of Dawn - deemed one of the world's most beautiful structures.

One simply cannot miss the floating market shopping and dining experience at Damnoen Saduak. The Maeklong Train Market in particular even has a train passing through the crowded streets every hour! Do grab a bowl of freshly brewed Tom Yam Goong or Iced Thai Milk Tea to refuel for even more adventures.

Safari World Ticket in Bangkok
Great experience for our family indeed! We spent quality time here at Safari World Bangkok. There were lots and variety of animals, and also hard-to-see wild animals. The area was clean and safe for children. Convenient for family with small kids too because there were lots of toilets and diaper changing space. Dolphin show and Spy War show were A Must to see. Strongly recommended indeed.

Bangkok Wonderful Pearl Dinner Cruise
My wife and I booked our romantic dinner anniversary experience and it was amazing. The price was affordable and satisfactory. The experience is wonderful and very memorable. The food and the place was excellent. The cruise was huge and fascinating. I hope there were more beef dishes and we are not allowed to eat pork due to religion differences. Overall the experience is wonderful and we do highly recommend you to avail this at Klook and have your magnificent dinner experience. We will definitely comeback to the Bangkok Wonderful Pearl Dinner Cruise when we are convenient again. The place was great and the services is excellent. My wife enjoyed the perfect and excellent band that was from the Philippines and performed both English and Thai music. Excellent and spectacular to have enjoyed this dinner cruise experience is the best and highlight for our your.

Bangkok Erawan Shrine Make a wish or Votive Online Service
It had been arranged to go to Bangkok in February 2020 to pay the vows, but when the epidemic broke out, there was basically no way to go abroad to pay the vows. After waiting for a year, I just happened to see that KLOOK offers the service of voicing the prayers on all sides, which is really great! The team of Erawan Buddhism Vow is very professional. I hope that the photos and videos will be sent to me the next day after the event. I really like your service!

Mahanakhon SkyWalk Ticket in Bangkok
Really enjoyed this trip to Mahanakhon. It was a lot quieter since I visited last time. The staff are friendly and polite. I decided to have a drink from the bar at the top, which was nice to be able to enjoy the ambience and watch the sunset. Probably one of the top experiences in Bangkok that I would recommend.

Jeh O Chula in Siam (Michelin Guide 2020)
Booking with Klook made things so much better! The ticket allowed us to cut the line and the package let us not worry about what to order. The Tom Yum and Crispy Pork was amazing. The food takes some time to arrive, but the wait is definitely worth it. A must-visit place in Bangkok! Planning to come again.

Ayutthaya Private Car Charter from Bangkok by Oriental Holiday
The driver was kind, courteous and very enthusiastic. Although the driver was not fluent in English, he used translators to introduce and communicate with us along the road, which made us very relieved. It is really convenient to charter a car from Bangkok to Ayutthaya. The driver also took us. Go to a restaurant that the locals like, big push!
