Frugal Travel Tips for Bangkok, Thailand

In exchange, it is not difficult to find frugal attractions in Bangkok, Thailand. However, there are a few tips to make a dollar stretch and travel even Further better travel experience.

The Grand Palace and Temple of Emerald Buddha

Yes, there is a registration fee (200 baht, about U.S. $ 6), but this show is a must see for every visitor to Bangkok. It hosts a number of Thai architecture.

Temples and othernational monuments have a strict dress code. No shorts, tops, sleeveless dress or a more audacious. This applies to most religious places around the world, but in Thailand, travelers should not wear open sandals (must be a strap behind the heel).

Thai Customs

This leads to some Thai costumes, noted that the savvy travelers.

Shorts are considered appropriate and only for children of lower classes.

The head is considered sacred (the closest to heaven), soDo not touch. In fact, do not try to contact with the locals at all.

The feet are treated with care. To point your feet at a person has exposed a grave insult and extremely rude to sit with soles (especially in places of worship). Sit with your feet hidden under the body.

No public displays of affection. Keep in mind that the privacy of your room.

As in most countries, but particularly in Thailand, not to criticize the local government or monarchy.

This may seem veryof rules, but most applies to almost all countries the traveler is a guest in.
The Thai people are very kind, so difficult to express their disapproval.

Park Chatuchak Weekend Market

This is where travelers buy their souvenirs thrifty. With over 15,000 booths (get a free map to the information terminals), we are spoiled for choice. This is a place to bargain. Never take the first offer. Also be very careful about fakes (fake antiques, fake jewelry, etc.) andPickpockets (keep some 'small bills in an accessible pocket and hide your wallet).

What to buy? Almost everything, especially trade. My mother is an elephant lover and Thailand, compared with the animal, was ideal for carving teak (careful drying and cracking when you return home).

Wat Pho (Temple of the Buddha lying)

With another very, very cheap entrance fee (20 baht), Wat Pho, the largest and oldestBuddhist temple in Bangkok. The highlight, of course, is 46 feet long, covered with gold Buddha lying. But the building and found the orchids were also significant.
