There are two international airports in Bangkok. One is Suvarnabhumi airport and the other is Don Mueang International airport. Bangkok has an international airport so easy access from other countries. It would be great if you take package tour.

Places to visit in Bangkok

Bangkok is a fascinating place for tourists. I love exploring places by myself so we had toured for half day and other half day we were going to explore by ourselves. So first half we explored the city with our guide.
Lot of Asian temples of Lord Buddha and beautifully constructed. One of the most famous is Golden Buddha.

Golden Buddha:- 

Bangkok is most famous for Wats Wat Trimitr, which is a temple of the Golden Buddha. In this temple you can see a 5.5 ton statue of the holy Buddha made from solid gold. And a fine example of Sukhothai art and Wat Po. The Wat Po is a temple of the Reclining Buddha, the largest and the oldest shrine of its kind in Bangkok. And there are so many WAT if  you want to visit.

The Safari World Park is the best place to be for animal and bird lovers.

After the half day tour we rest for a while, And for the rest of the day we get fresh and started exploring by ourselves. Our hotel was providing complimentary boat shuttle till one point and then we decided to walk or take the bus and explore the local market.

Local peoples are helpful. If you think you are lost somewhere you can ask to a local shopkeeper. Not everyone knows English well, but somehow they will manage to explain you :-) :-)
