Got a mere day and a half to soak in the vibrant energy of Bangkok? Do not worry; this article has you covered. For a 36-hour trip, “3 days” might be a bit of an exaggeration, but you can still jam in a tonne of amazing experiences. Here’s how to make the most of your short trip to Bangkok.
Retail Therapy & Morning Buzz
Kickstart your morning with some delicious street food, such as jok (rice porridge) or pa tong go (fried dough stick) with condensed milk. After that, visit Terminal 21 for a variety of shopping options or EmQuartier and Emporium for high-end shopping and cultural events.

Afternoon Exploration & Relaxation
Enjoy a peaceful stroll, a bike ride, or a view of the skyline at Benjakitti Park to escape the heat of Bangkok. Or visit the Kamthieng House Museum to learn more about Thai culture. Consider going to famous sites like Wat Pho, Wat Arun, and the magnificent Grand Palace for a deeper cultural exploration.
Evening Delights & Nightlife
Check out the bustling Asok Night Market for bargains and street cuisine. Soi 11’s varied bars and Soi Cowboy/Nana Plaza’s distinctive scenes are part of Bangkok’s nightlife. Perhaps choose a hotel in Sukhumvit area to take advantage of it. To make your stay even more enjoyable, think about reserving a room at Avani Sukhumvit Bangkok.
Quick Bites & Departure
Enjoy a last quick and delicious Bangkok street food meal, such as pad see ew or skewers, before departing. Depending on your schedule, you may also have time to do some last-minute souvenir shopping on Sukhumvit Road.
