Bangkok · cabaret shows
A trip to Bangkok would not be complete without seeing one of these exceptionally good ladyboy cabaret shows. The shows are very popular, so book your tickets at least a couple of days in advance.
Another popular drag queen show in Bangkok. Golden Dome Cabaret has 3 shows daily (5pm, 7:15pm and 9pm) and is located in Ratchada area.

252/5 Rachadapisek Soi 18, Bangkok
weekday: 17:00, 19:15 and 21:00 weekend: 17:00, 19:15 and 21:00
Probably the most visited tourist destination in Bangkok. The Grand Palace has been the official residence of the King of Thailand since 1782. The Royal Government was based in the grounds until as recently as 1925.
Today, the Palace is still used for occasional official events and ceremonies. Spread over 50 acres, the Palace and its stunning temples give a unique insight into the history and culture of Thailand.
There is a strict dress code. Wear long pants or jeans and a shirt or T-shirt that covers your shoulders and upper arms. Shorts, tank tops, sandals and flip-flops are not permitted.
Your trip around the Palace is 90% outdoors, so sun protection is essential. Last ticket sold at 3:30pm. Admission fee 400 baht. Our map shows the main tourist entrance to the Palace complex.
Also known as ‘The Temple of the Reclining Buddha’, Wat Pho is located within walking distance of the Grand Palace. The massive Buddha measures over 46 metres long, 15 metres high and is covered in gold leaf. The image symbolises the Lord Buddha and is highly respected by all Buddhists.
You can take selfies with the image, but touching is not allowed. A similar dress code applies as at The Grand Palace. Remove your shoes before entering. Entry fee 100 baht.
Wat Pho is also known for traditional Thai massage. If you have time time, relax in the hands of a real expert.

248 Thanon Thai Wang, Phra Borom Maha Ratchawang, Bangkok
One of Bangkok’s most famous landmarks. This Khmer-style Buddhist temple is located on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River. Its name, which means “the temple of dawn”, describes the reflection of the morning’s first light from the river’s on to the temple.
The temple’s main feature is the central tower which is covered in broken porcelain tiles and topped with a seven pronged trident – referred to by many as the “Trident of Shiva”.
Wat Arun can be reached either by Arun Amarin Road or by boat from Tha Tien Pier near Wat Pho. The same dress code applies as at other temples.
Modern museum (opened March 2012) in a beautifully designed space showcasing a great collection of contemporary art by Thai artists from different generations.
Bangkok’s Chinatown is one of the city’s oldest neighbourhoods. Famous for Chinese food, grilled seafood and food markets, these places get very busy most evenings.
Walk down Yaowarat Road, visit the old market and the Wat Leng Nei Yee temple, and check out the jewelry shops and many vendors along the way. A great place to experience the local culture.
Also known as Muay Thai, Thai kickboxing originated in the early part of the Ayutthaya period as a form of unarmed combat. Today, it is a professional sport with training camps located in just about every province.
Never been to Bangkok? We’ve put together some photos from our visit in 2012 to give you a glimpse of the city.
Things have changed quite a bit since then, but we hope you will still find it interesting.
