Bangkok Tour & Travel Guide - Tourist Places near Bangkok

Pattaya

Take a two hour drive towards the east of Bangkok and you will reach this attractive city exuding great charm and colour. One of the most sort-after night party zones in Thailand, this city is always in motion. Pattaya's raunchy bars and swanky cabaret adds spice to its already glitzy nightlife.

Hua Hin

Approximately 200 kilometres from Bangkok, Hua Hin is a popular beach resort town in the Prachuap Khiri Khan province. In the early 1900s, king Prajadhipok visited the town and so enamored was he by its beauty that he built the Wang Klai Kang Won (translation: ‘Far from Worries’) palace and it is now the full-time residence of the current king of Thailand. Hua Hin lies in close proximity to some beautiful national parks and ancient cities, and this little beach town could be well worth your time in Thailand.

Ayutthaya

Ayutthaya was the official Thai capital for almost 417 years after which it got replaced by Bangkok. Ruled by the kings of several dynasties Ayutthaya holds great significance in the history of Thai art and culture. For those who wish to explore Thai culture in its true form should visit this nearby gateway which is at a distance of 427 km north of Bangkok. The place has great historical significance hence once in Ayutthaya, one should definitely visit Old Palace, PhomPhet, St. Josephs Church, Chao Sam Pharya museum, and other temples and museums. If you are planning to visit Ayutthaya in the month of December - January then you might be able to catch two popular festivals that are specifically associated with Ayutthaya - Ayutthaya World Heritage Site Celebrations( December) and Bang Sai Arts & Crafts Fair in the month of January. There are several bus and train services that can link you to Ayutthaya.

Kanchanaburi

A three hour journey from Bangkok will take you to this first choice place for backpackers. Situated 130 km west of Bangkok, you can catch a bus to Kanchanaburi from the Southern Bus Terminal of Bangkok. Those who prefer to go via train can take one from Noi Railway Station. While in Kanchanabari one must visit Death Railway, the museums, PrasatMuang Sing Historical Park, Bridge of River Kwai, SaiYok National Park and Erawan National Park.

Lopburi

Lopburi, formerly known as Lawo, is yet another destination of great historical significance. Car/private taxi would be the most appropriate way of reaching Lop Buri from Bangkok. Those wanting to catch a bus can take one from the Northern Bus Terminal. Trains for Lop Buri are also available from HuaLamphong railway station. One of Bangkok's neighbouring provinces, Lopburi had great significance during the 10th and 13th centuries. Located at a distance of 153 km north of Bangkok, LopBuri is known for the Statue of King Narai, Lop Buri Zoo, Buddha temples and other sandstone statues.
