These
days, many newlyweds are opting for multi-stop trips where they visit
more than one locale during their honeymoons. This is a great way to
fill your vacation with as many sights and activities as possible. It’s
something that I’ve done on other vacations, and if planned properly, it
gives you some great highlights of a new city or country.If
you’re considering Asia for your honeymoon, let me recommend a three-day
layover in Bangkok. With three days, you’ll have just enough time to
get a taste of this iconic city without burning out before the next leg
of your trip.Day 1: Relax and Indulge in Silom, a Foodie ParadiseOn
your first day in Bangkok, you’ll most likely be a tad exhausted from a
long-haul flight. So, avoid an action-packed sightseeing day. Instead,
be a little lazy and take in the gorgeous scenery while drinking and
eating your way through the city. Hop on Bangkok’s SkyTrain or MRT and
head out to Silom, a district that offers numerous regional culinary
options.Here, you can sample staple Thai dishes like pad Thai and papaya salad. Afterward, head to Lumpini Park,
Bangkok’s largest park and a great place to burn off those calories. If
you’re not too stuffed, stay in this neighborhood for dinner and sample
a few tasty cocktails.Day 2: Drink in Historic Bangkok and Hit the Nightlife SceneIn
a city as old as Bangkok, there’s no shortage of historic sites,
including temples and cultural stops. In many of these places, it’s
important to be mindful of dress customs. Avoid shorts and short
sleeves. Some must-see sites include the Temple of the Reclining Buddha
in Wat Pho, the Temple of Dawn in Wat Arun, and the Grand Palace.
Expect to spend about an hour or two at each of these locations, which
should take up most of your day and afternoon.Once the sun begins
to set, head to Khao San Road. Known as a major attraction for
tourists, expats, and locals alike, Khao San Road is home to countless
restaurants, bars, and shops that all serve diverse palettes and
budgets. Adventurous eaters can sample popular street food dishes. If
you’re exhausted from your day of sightseeing, you can even get an
affordable massage in this district.Day 3: Round Out Your Bangkok Trip With Some Thrill-SeekingIf
you’re like me, you love tattoos. Big or small, there’s nothing as
authentic as a handcrafted Sak Yant tattoo from a monk. If your
thrill-seeking level isn’t quite that high, then Bangkok still won’t
disappoint. Check out a muay thai fight at the popular Lumpinee Boxing Stadium.
Fights are regularly held on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. However,
confirm the schedule to plan your day around the fight of your choice.
Round out your evening in the lively nightlife scene of the Sukhumvit
neighborhood.My recommended itinerary balance activity with any potential jet lag you might experience. For more tips, pick up a guide to Bangkok to pack even more sightseeing into your trip.The above article is a sponsored post on behalf of GoDoTrip. Image via Flickr by DavideGorla
