Savour a Serene Weekend in Bangkok
A Relaxing Retreat in Thailand's Busy Capital
Although considered one of the busiest cities in the world, beyond Bangkok’s bustling metropolis lies a serene escape for those seeking tranquillity amidst the numerous malls, hotels and street markets. Escape the urban chaos and embrace the city’s quieter side, with a guide on enjoying a peaceful weekend in Thailand’s lively capital.
Spiritual Retreat
With over 30,000 temples to choose from, begin your weekend with a visit to Wat Pathum Wanaran, a serene temple renowned for its meditation classes and quiet garden. Only a minute away from the busy malls of Pathum Wan, experience an oasis of tranquil ambience, learn meditation techniques and unlock your inner peace.
Indulge in Thai Wellness
In addition to meditation and spiritual wellness, the temples of Bangkok showcase other surprising delights. Pamper yourself with a world-famous Thai massage at the oldest massage school in Thailand, at Wat Pho, the iconic temple of the golden reclining Buddha. This ancient massage technique combines acupressure, stretching, and palpation to alleviate tension and promote relaxation.
Choosing Your Accommodation
You don’t have to venture far to experience a relaxing weekend in Bangkok, so long as you choose the right hotel. Choosing from Khaosan Road Hotels for instance, can unlock ultimate relaxation from right outside your room. At Tinidee Trendy Khaosan Bangkok, unwind in the refreshing waters of the multichromatic rooftop pool after a day of exploration, enjoying the privacy and comfort of your own space.
Escape to Nature
Venture outdoors and seek respite in Bangkok’s urban parks. The city’s largest park, Lumphini Park, offers lush green landscapes and jogging paths encircling a serene lake, while Benchakitti Park next door provides a sprawling green oasis with winding trails around a man-made lake and recreational facilities.
