The popularity of this tourist destination becomes even more understandable when you learn that excursions in Thailand are relatively inexpensive. The same exotic Buddhist east as Japan, but the prices for travel are not comparable. Arriving in Thailand on vacation, many tend to see Bangkok, so you can go on a sightseeing tour of the city and be very pleased with everything you see. Ancient temples are impressive in their gigantic size, the Royal Palace competes with them, and if you get to one of the local markets or take a boat ride along the canal, you can get a better idea of the capital of Thailand than by visiting "standard" excursions.
By the way, Thailand, or rather Siam, as it was called then, had an ancient capital with the beautiful name Ayutthaya. You can also get there on an excursion, which will cost about $ 250 per group, taking into account the transfer from Bangkok. This is quite a democratic cost for such an interesting tour.
Amusement parks
That's where the entertainment industry is on a grand scale, it's in Bangkok. There is no need to build factories that pollute the environment if the capital has such stunning amusement parks: "Safari World"; Siam; Oceanarium; Dream World (amusement park); Crocodile farm.
Lovers of animals and exotic will enjoy the excursion to the Crocodile Farm. Of course, crocodiles are bred there for the sake of handbags, wallets and suitcases. But there are also happy exceptions - these are crocodile artists who perform with trainers in front of the public. Tourists are assured by oath that these tamed animals are not exterminated to please fashionistas, because reptiles performing in front of the public bring much more income, and no matter how terrible a tamed predator may seem, it is quite friendly to people.
The inhabitants of the safari park are no less sociable. This is a kind of "reverse zoo". In the "cage" there are not animals and birds, but people. The "cage" can be a minibus, which slowly makes its way among the predators. To prevent the animals from damaging the glass and scratching the tourists, all the windows are barred.
At the same time, even a representative of large felines can unceremoniously jump onto the roof of a vehicle. Yes, they are already accustomed to cars, and the engine noise does not scare them. By the way, in order to complete the picture of the “reverse zoo”, here they are allowed to feed the animals, only food for them is sold on purpose. Each animal, each bird has its own food. And animals give performances like in a circus. A visit to a crocodile farm will cost about $ 50, and a trip to Safari Park will cost about $ 60-80.
Top 10 attractions in Bangkok
Canals - not only in Venice
An amazing excursion can be visited for those who love boat trips, if they set out to see Bangkok from the water. Traveling in this way, you can look not only at the ancient temple complexes, but also at small houses on the water. And also - to sail away to where the central part of the city ends and a completely different area begins with its beautiful landscapes. You will have to travel along the channels that once served as transport routes in the city. It's almost like in Venice, only in Bangkok some of the canals were filled up over time as unnecessary.
Nevertheless, the floating market has remained here, peasants come here on boats, exchange goods with each other and offer to buy juicy fruits for tourists. These boats gather here every morning.

A park of reduced models of attractions is also an unusual place for excursions. But the most interesting thing is that layouts of famous tourist sites from all over the world, such as the Leaning Tower of Pisa or the Eiffel Tower, are adjacent to Thai landmarks.
