A packed few days in and around Bangkok: the Grand Palace and the city's great temples, a day trip to the train-track and floating markets, and an evening by the river at ICONSIAM. Picked by Celine. Made for first-timers who want to fit the highlights into a short trip. Dress modestly for the temples and stay hydrated, as the heat can be intense.
Bangkok's former royal palace and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, glittering with gold and mosaic. Expect crowds and cover your shoulders and knees. You can rent traditional Thai outfits nearby for photos. (via Adventures by Celine vlog)

Picked by Adventures by CelineThe famous 'train street' market about 1.5 hours from Bangkok, where stalls fold back their awnings moments before the train squeezes through. Watched it pass from just inches away. Often paired with Damnoen Saduak Floating Market on a day trip. It gets very hot, so bring water. (via Adventures by Celine vlog)
