Things to do in Bangkok in July

1

Grand Palace & Wat Phra Kaew

The spiritual heart of Thailand. The Emerald Buddha temple within these golden walls is the most sacred site in the country — every Thai king visits to change its golden robes seasonally.

2

Chatuchak Weekend Market

The world's largest weekend market with 15,000 stalls spread across 35 acres. Antiques, street food, handmade clothing, vintage goods, and pets — all under corrugated tin roofs.

3

Chao Phraya River at Dusk

Take a longtail boat through canal networks or a sunset dinner cruise along the river that Bangkok was built around. The skyline reflected in the water is extraordinary.

4

Street Food Tour – Yaowarat

Bangkok's Chinatown transforms at night into a heaving street food paradise. Roast duck, crab fried rice, and Thai-Chinese desserts you won't find anywhere else on earth.

5

Muay Thai at Rajadamnern Stadium

The world's most famous Muay Thai arena hosts electrifying bouts several nights a week. The atmosphere with wildly betting Thai crowds is unlike any sporting event anywhere.

6

Wat Pho — Reclining Buddha

A 46-metre-long, 15-metre-tall golden Buddha lying in serene repose is one of the most arresting sights in all of Asia — steps from the Grand Palace yet far less crowded. Wat Pho is also the birthplace of traditional Thai massage, and you can book a session right on the temple grounds.
