3 dayseasy $220 total

A first-timer's greatest hits - the riverside temples, a market morning, and the city's legendary food, without rushing.

1

Rattanakosin Temples

Start early at the Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew, walk to Wat Pho for the Reclining Buddha, then cross the river to Wat Arun. Sunset cocktail at a rooftop bar facing the temple.

2

River, Canals & Chinatown

Take a long-tail boat through the Thonburi khlongs, browse Chatuchak (if a weekend) or the riverside Lhong 1919, then dive into Yaowarat for an evening street-food crawl.

3

Modern Bangkok

Jim Thompson House in the morning, shopping and lunch around Siam, a traditional Thai massage, and a final rooftop dinner in Sukhumvit.
